From 7–9 October 2025, the Centre for Law and Policy Research (CLPR) joined global partners at the Co-Impact Women in Leadership Community of Practice convening in Phuket, Thailand. CLPR shared insights from its Equal Justice project on advancing gender inclusion and women’s leadership in India’s higher judiciary, reaffirming the value of intersectional approaches and institutional reform for lasting change.
The Roundtable was part of CLPR’s ongoing research on the gender gap in the higher judiciary in India. The Roundtable brought together senior women lawyers including women Senior Counsels and other women advocates from the Madras High Court.
The course uses academic writing, legal texts, commentaries, personal narratives, fiction and cultural texts to understand how intersectionality affects our study of the law, advocacy, and activism; how the law, legal studies and legal practice is transformed by intersectionality; and how intersectionality challenges, resists, and reimagines legal normativity.
