The legal recognition of the rights of single mothers as sole guardians marks significant progress towards gender equality and the empowerment of women. Continuous efforts to address challenges and leverage opportunities are essential to strengthen the guardianship framework and support the rights and welfare of minors and single mothers. #GuardianshipLaw #BestInterestsOfChild #SingleMothersRights #IndianFamilyLaw #childwelfare #legalframework #genderequality #familycourt #legalrights #empowermentofwomen

Let's work together to create a criminal justice system that serves everyone fairly. #CCPCJ33

Here is a good news for Monday! The Indian government's decision to form a 6-member panel to examine the issues faced by the queer community is a significant step towards inclusivity and equality for the #LGBTQIA+ community. Here's why it is considered a positive move: 1. Addressing Discrimination: The panel will ensure that members of the LGBTQIA+ community do not face discrimination in access to goods, services, or social welfare entitlementa. 2. Preventing Violence and Harassment: It will examine measures to protect the community from any threats of violence, harassment, or coercion. 3. Health and Well-being: The committee will look into preventing involuntary medical treatments and surgeries, which can be detrimental to the physical and mental health of queer individuals. 4. Legal and Administrative Support: Following the Supreme Court's refusal to grant legal recognition to same-sex marriages, the panel will explore administrative steps to address concerns of same-sex couples. 5. Inclusive Policy Making: The committee includes secretaries from various ministries, indicating a multi-faceted approach to understanding and solving the issues faced by the queer community. I see the formation of this committee as an important step in recognising the rights of the #queer community in India. From our living spaces to workplaces, we LGBTQIA+ persons deserve a discrimination free environment assuring a safe and secure future. As an activist and a Southern Region Representative of the National Council of Trans Persons, I feel very happy and positive about the step taken by the Centre. One of 2024's happiest news is this! One more reason to celebrate #PrideMonth ofcourse.
