Details of the Conference/Seminar

The conference on "Law as a Catalyst for Women Empowerment" aims to explore the profound role that legal frameworks play in advancing gender equality, protecting women's rights, and fostering an environment conducive to their empowerment. In an era where women continue to face systemic barriers in social, economic, and political spheres, the law serves as a powerful instrument for change—addressing discrimination, ensuring justice, and promoting inclusivity. This conference will bring together legal experts, policymakers, scholars, activists, and professionals from diverse backgrounds to engage in meaningful discussions on the intersection of law and women's empowerment. The conference aims to not only assess existing legal frameworks but also identify gaps and propose reforms that can further strengthen women's rights and their active participation in all aspects of society.
