Abstract

                    This research paper is exploring the gender equality in terms of challenges, opportunities, and workable resolution to mitigate gender disparities more particularly women in the legal fraternity particularly judiciary and majorly focusing the contemporary scenario. The gender equality is a subject which is ever-evolving; however, it is of a grave importance how the legal fraternity is evolving in order to maintain the gender balance. Logically, the Legal fraternity should be at the hotbed of revolution and should set a benchmark for the rest of the field. This research paper is an attempt whether practically the legal fraternity can achieve the balance among the gender more particularly among the women.

                    The world has been technologically well advanced but still today the gender equality is a sensitive and debatable topic and there still persist a great amount of inequality. The two words “gender equality” even in the 21^st century, the countries are coping with the inequalities meted out to the minority or physically delicate gender the women and the third gender. Even today, the physical capacity is accounted for rather than the mental faculties. The legal fraternity is field wherein the physical capabilities should be least accounted as it is all the game of mental strength. Here, the gender does not come into picture as it is mental faculties, knowledge is not linked with any gender.

                    Traditionally, the legal profession has been a male-dominated profession owing to the socio-political scenario, which has created several impediments to women in pursuing a career in this field. In this 21^st century as well, there is visibly no balance in maintaining the gender gaps, however, it is pertinent to say that there are definitely changes which are welcoming but long way to go. There is an onus on each one of us to establish a just society and for that many able hands are needed be it men, women, and transgenders together. The key is able hands who are able to deliver result to the society to establish peace and harmony among the people. The matter of fact is education is key to churn out a civilized society and education can be imparted to anyone irrespective of gender differences.
