Addressing the Gender Gap in the Higher Judiciary in India

CLPR has launched a research and advocacy initiative aiming to address the glaring gender gap in the higher judiciary and to secure equal and inclusive representation of women.

CLPR in partnership with the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany has developed the Equality Now! book series comprising four resource books, each focusing on a critical area of social justice: disability rights, caste discrimination, transgender rights, and women’s rights. The books aim to make rights-based jurisprudence accessible to marginalised communities, legal practitioners, and activists, bridging the gap between legal theory and practice.

A ground-breaking multi-disciplinary research collaboration, PACT will create an advanced digital platform on the making of the Indian constitution (1950), one of the most influential in the global South.

This project targets transgender persons, women and girls, persons with disabilities, and Dalit, Adivasi, and Bahujan communities, all of whom have historically faced social exclusion, discrimination, and lack of access to education, healthcare, and employment.

CLPR concentrates on strengthening its work on transgender rights and contribute to the development of trans equality in India through three initiatives namely the Trans Law Cell, the Global Trans Law Database, and Know Your Rights and Entitlement Session (KYRE) and Roundtable Conference on Transgender Issues.

The Centre for Law and Policy Research (CLPR) in collaboration with its partnered Indian and American universities organised a series of workshops on U.S.- India Comparative Constitutional law in October, November 2021 and January 2022. The partnered Indian and American law universities were paired for an interactive session.
