Women in Constitutions - The Indian Constitution with Aparna Chandra

RightsUp

Virtually all constitutions guarantee women's right to equality, yet, there is a rise in backlash against legal, political, economic, social and cultural efforts to achieve women's equality. This podcast series speaks with leading legal scholars from the US, Canada, South Africa and India to explore how constitutions can frustrate efforts to achieve women's equality, and to imagine a new constitutionalism that places women as equal actors and participants in the constitutional project. On today's episode Meghan Campbell is joined by Dr. Aparna Chandra, an Associate Professor of Law at the National Law School of India University, to discuss women in the Indian Constitution. RightsUp is brought to you by the Oxford Human Rights Hub. This series, Women in Constitutions, was produced in partnership with the British Academy and the University of Birmingham. Executive produced and hosted by Megan Campbell. Produced and edited by Sophie Smith. Music for the series is by Rosemary Allman
