Key takeaways of today's Hon'ble Supreme Court's Landmark judgment clarifying Muslim women's entitlement to maintenance under Section 125 CrPC. ⚖️ Landmark Judgment: Reinforces legal protection for Muslim women. 💼 Gender Equality: Ensures financial support regardless of personal laws. 💰 Financial Support: Provides crucial support for divorced Muslim women. 👩⚖️ Justice for All: Upholds the principle of fairness and equality. 📜 Harmonized Laws: Aligns CrPC with the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986.

We're delighted to see today that Women's Legal Service Victoria are promoting equality as the basis for its government funded workplace safety and gender education initiative. It's wonderful to see so many organisations are singing our hymnal in the legal profession and connecting it to respect, kindness and domestic violence. We hope that together real change will manifest. We look forward to the Starts With Us Framework not becoming yet another cycle of affirmations and broken promises in a sector that is responsible for the effective administration of justice. #itstopswithus #enough #equalityissafety #equalityislaw #equalityisethics #practicemanagement #legalpracticemanagement #lawyerethics #lawyerconduct

📢🌍 Staggering Surge in Conflict-Related Sexual Violence: What Can Be Done? The latest report from UN Women reveals a shocking 50% increase in conflict-related sexual violence in 2023. This disturbing trend highlights the urgent need for comprehensive strategies to address and prevent such atrocities. Here are three critical approaches: 1️⃣ Enhanced Legal Frameworks and Accountability Strengthening both international and national legal systems is essential. This involves: 👉 Implementing strict laws and improving investigation procedures. 👉 Empowering local women’s rights organizations to raise awareness and ensure accountability. 2️⃣ Comprehensive Survivor-Centered Approach Survivors need holistic support, including: 👉 Medical care, psychological support, legal assistance, and socio-economic reintegration programs. 👉 Establishing safe spaces and shelters for confidential and compassionate care. 3️⃣ Inclusion of Women in Peace Processes and Community Education Women’s participation in peace negotiations ensures their perspectives are included. Additionally, community education is vital: 👉 Raising awareness about the impact of sexual violence and promoting gender equality. 👉 Involving local leaders, men, and boys in prevention efforts to change societal norms and reduce stigma. #EndViolence #GenderEquality #UNWomen #Justice #HumanRights #PeaceBuilding #SurvivorSupport #CommunityEducation
