Feminist Law

The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child’s General Comment No. 25, the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act, and New Zealand’s new Online Safety (Minimum Age and Child Safety Risk Assessment) Bill each address how best to protect "children" from algorithmic and AI-related harm. However, the category performing much of this legal work, "the child", is rarely interrogated in its own right.

Overall, the MTP Act, Surrogacy and ART laws appear more inclined towards regulating reproduction rather than facilitating it. To impart real change, the existing law must be amended. Removal of the RMP’s opinion under Section 3 and decriminalizing the abortion entirely are the need of hour.

The introduction of the criminal offence of the aggravated murder of a female person into the Croatian Criminal Code represents an important normative step in recognising gender-based violence.

The initiative against FGM is rooted in the reclamation of freedom and individual autonomy. It becomes imperative for the highest court of India to ban this practice which cannot be justified by stating the Essential Religious Practice test, and opposing the interference with a community’s culture and traditions.

The Queen Bee phenomenon exposes critical limitations within existing legal and constitutional frameworks addressing gender inequality. While anti-discrimination laws, workplace harassment regimes, and feminist legal theories have made significant strides in advancing women’s rights, they remain largely oriented toward addressing overt, inter-group discrimination.

Implementing femicide as a criminal offence would send a clear message that efforts are being made to tackle violence against women, and legislators should give the matter serious consideration.

Introduction The Common Law of England and Wales has evolved for centuries and has overwhelmingly been created by white, upper-class men. It has evolved from an absolute monarchy in the 16th century[1] to a society of the democratic rule of law today.
