520 _aThe Supreme Court of India released the Handbook on Combating Gender Stereotypes in late 2023. This paper traces the genealogy of this document to feminist jurisprudence, epistemologies and the social movements for gender justice. While the handbook reflects a crucial moment in its own right, its efficacy is contingent on a fractured and hierarchical judicial order, where patriarchal discourse is common in lower court deliberations and legal pedagogy is averse towards “non-law” courses. One wonders if it can make a real change in undoing the “familial” and “gendered” interpretations of judicial discourse.- Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2024/26-27/review-womens-studies/sensitisation-through-words.html
