Gender Justice Unit
The gender justice unit at Independent Thought understands that patriarchy, power and poverty are the three Ps that define gender rights in India. It is these three Ps that regulate, control and determine the agency of women across class, caste, community and creed in the country. Despite overarching work at different levels, position of women and girl children in India leaves a lot to be desired in the eyes of equality and access to justice. We understand that spaces both private and public are hostile for women and law has to be used as catalyst for social and mindset changes.
