About the Organization

The Centre for Law, Justice and Development (National Law University Delhi) in collaboration with the Department of Justice (Government of India) is working on a legal literacy and legal awareness program under Designing the Innovative Solutions for Holistic Access to Justice in India Scheme (DISHA) in Uttar Pradesh. To this end, CLJD invites students of National Law University, Delhi to submit scripts for a street play/ nukkad natak disseminating legal awareness on different forms of violence against women at the grassroot level.

Established in 2018, CLJD envisions revisiting, analysing, and engaging with the development discourse and its interface with the legal discourse. Through this engagement it seeks to influence the discourse in ways that are geared towards securing justice in varied arenas of our existence. It has been specifically working on the rights of the marginalised through empirical research, training, and creating resource material with regard to legal rights.

About the Event

The call opens up an opportunity to share your vision and raise awareness about violence against women, women’s legal rights, and access to justice for women. The goal is to disseminate legal awareness for creating gender sensitisation at the grass-root level. In pursuance of fulfilling these goals the centre has adopted an intersectional approach. Therefore, we seek entries that are inclusive and conscious of intersectional identities.

The script should capture the essence of women’s rights in the context of violence against women. The entries should seek to intricately classify and narrate laws and legal rights of women aggrieved by different forms of violence as well as highlight issues with regard to access to justice in such cases.
