Call for writing a Paper / Chapter for a Book on Women Rights.
A key challenge facing the overall women rights scenario in a remote region like Northeast India is availability of professionally trained and effective lawyers in local courts to assist the disadvantaged 'women' to fight rights violation cases, or otherwise advance their interests. Such legal services, embracing both individual access to justice and public interest law transcending individual needs, contribute to the rule of law, good governance, human rights, empowerment of the poor and poverty alleviation. The women rights lawyers need special training and set of professional tools for forging the future of legal services and legal systems across the Northeast region. In order to address this gap a special training workshop that is being organized by PFI Foundation in collaboration with NEF Law College, Guwahati in February, 2012.
On the occasion of this Workshop a Resource Book on Women Rights will be published. Interested advocates, teachers, and researchers may submit a Paper / Chapter on any topic related to Women Rights Issues that will form a part of the proposed book (with ISBN).
