Concept Note for the Virtual Seminar on Surrogacy

It is a natural human desire to have one’s progeny, and thereby the concept of marriage and reproduction took birth in society. Different religions have different notions of marriage in their laws. For some religions, the base of marriage is spirituality, and for some, the objective of marriage is to reproduce. Indirectly or directly, the objective of all religions is to have a child who will be supporting the couple in their old age. 

However, in modern times and competitive era, married couples find it difficult to have their own babies either because of biological reasons or socioeconomic reasons. Therefore, in order to fulfill this desire of infertile couples, some religions keeping in view spiritual obligations have adopted the notion of adoption. However, this frustrates their basic urge to have their progeny, making them difficult to fulfill their religious aspirations and personal desires. 

To fulfill this desire, in this modern world, medical science has now developed to the extent of making available some mechanisms like IVF, Test tube baby, surrogacy, etc., thereby making it possible for such couples to fulfill their desire of having their progeny. Such medical advancements have become more popular in the competitive era where people’s focus has been more on employment and personal autonomy, thereby making it easy for them to have work-life balance. Statistics show that 25,000 children in India were born out of surrogacy as it has gained popularity, and India being a developing country with less GDP has become an easy target for surrogacy. 

Surrogacy conceptually and practically has several dimensions, and it involves an interplay of all disciplines such as law/medicine/taxation/commerce/morality/religion/human rights/social connotation/economic implications/human trafficking, etc. To address all these disciplines and thereby explore the concept of surrogacy, it is required for the academicians, stakeholders, and industry people to come together, form a forum, and discuss the concept in the interest of justice.  Furthermore, India is heading towards its own surrogacy bill, and academic discourse of such nature is required to be there to exchange ideas and inputs. 

Therefore, we at MNLUA are privileged to organize a 2-day virtual Multi-disciplinary Seminar on Surrogacy to revisit the concept of Surrogacy and shed light on the economic, social, religious, legal, and psychological aspects of surrogacy.

Call for Papers: Shankarrao Chavan Law College

Posted on

About Shankarrao Chavan Law College

To nurture future lawyers with the ideals and values required for playing a constructive role to create a better world, in 2003, Shankarrao Chavan Law College was established.

About Intellectual Property Rights Cell (IPR Cell)

SCLC has established the Intellectual Property Rights Cell to create awareness about these rights and sensitize students about their importance.

It provides a platform to share and discuss the latest developments in the area of IPR and their applications with practical exposure to students, faculty members and research scholars.

About the Conference

Intellectual property rights refer to the privileges given to the inventor, creator, or an organization to protect their innovation for their exclusive use rights for a certain period. Their Importance arises from the encouragement and the financial aid to stimulate creativity in the field of modern sciences and technology. Several amendments were made to the Intellectual Property Rights Laws considering the impact of socio-economic and technological developments.

However, despite these amendments, there has been a consistent increase in violations of IPR in the form of music piracy, software piracy, linking, caching, framing, digital databases and plagiarism, etc., and these violations adversely affect the economy.

Additionally, counterfeiting of trademarks in cyberspace and cybersquatting is increasing day by day, and without stringent provisions, these issues will not be resolved. Trade secret or undisclosed information protection is one of the challenges companies or businesses face in the absence of concrete legal provisions.

Further, the Patent Amendment Act 2005 introduced process and product patents in food, chemical, and pharmaceutics; however, there is a need to balance conflicting claims of access to medicine and exclusive right over patents in compulsory licenses.

This peculiar imbalance has resulted in a reluctance to grant compulsory licenses, evident from fewer licenses permitted even in medical emergencies. IPR has environmental implications as well.

Patent Law has always been criticized for environmental pollution, greenhouse effects, and climate change, and there is an urgent need to revisit the provisions in the light of sustainable development. Growing unauthorized commercial use of traditional knowledge makes indigenous communities more vulnerable, and in the absence of comprehensive law at the international level, it isn’t easy to protect these resources.

Further, biotechnological inventions and their impact on the environment need to be reviewed, considering Laws on Climate Change and Biodiversity.

Effective enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights can be understood by analyzing the intersection of IPR with other Laws. There is always debate and controversies between IPR and other laws. Such asIPR provides exclusive rights and recognizes the monopoly, and on the other hand, Competition Law prevents monopoly. These are just some of the issues prevailing in the IPR regime. These issues need academic discussion and deliberations.

Therefore, MMSCLC’s Intellectual Property Rights Cell considered it necessary to have a brainstorming discussion regarding various problems prevailing in Intellectual Property Rights and to find solutions to deal with them in these changing times.

About the Seminar

After successfully conducting numerous events, ALS is proud to conduct a National Seminar in collaboration with the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR) on Revisiting Women-Centric Laws from the Eyes of the Judiciary North-West Region on 29 April 2022.

Women have been at the receiving end of discriminatory practices for generations, and measures
to protect and promote their rights are usually lagging and lacking in providing the desired result,
i.e. Equality or equal treatment.

The role of women for centuries was defined and confined to either domestic work or areas that were designated as a woman’s job, like nursing, secretarial work, etc. It is majorly during the last century that this sphere, within which women were confined, saw broadening with women working in areas that were traditionally considered a man’s job.

Even though access to education and a wider range of employment opportunities can be seen today, women continue to face discrimination at work and at home.

Since independence, various legislations and measures have been enacted and implemented by the
Indian Government for ensuring gender equality and equity. However, the prevailing cultural traditions and social norms which are encased as Personal Laws continue to discriminate against women.

Women-related issues have been dealt with by the Indian Judiciary with the utmost care, and it has played an important role in upholding the rights and dignity of women through several landmark judgments. These judgments, delivered by various Courts of the country since independence, have influenced the enactment or amendment of many laws dealing with women’s rights.

Seminar Objectives

The following objectives are specifically aimed at addressing the issues prevalent and faced by
women in the North-West Region of India:

  • To educate the participants about the role that Judiciary plays in empowering women.
  • To enhance the participants’ knowledge regarding the challenges and hurdles faced by
    women.
  • To sensitize the participants vis-à-vis Reproductive Rights of Women.
  • To deliberate, discuss and elucidate upon the existing Legislations, Policies and Laws to
    achieve Women Empowerment.

Sub-themes

  1. Role of Judiciary in Empowering Women
    Judiciary has always played an important role in empowering women, by not only implementing the laws but also promulgating them. Judgements involving different aspects of issues faced by women, have shaped the movement towards providing de-facto equality to them in India and upheld the Constitutional mandate. These have shown that the judicial approach towards upholding and or promoting women’s rights has been proactively setting precedents for future reference, besides providing the stimulus for stringent laws to protect women’s rights. Overall the role played by the Indian Judiciary has considerably changed the attitude of society towards how women are viewed and their issues are addressed. However, there is a need of further sensitization of the Judiciary.
  2. Challenges and Hurdles in Women’s Empowerment
    India is predominantly a patrilineal, patrilocal and patriarchal society wherein the descent is traced
    through the male line and women move to the household of the husband after marriage. This
    social structure defines the role of women as secondary and limited to domestic or household
    activities.
    Women in India are subjected to various discriminatory practices, rooted in the norms and
    customs prevalent in the society. Besides the cultural hurdles, sometimes the laws and policies are
    also discriminatory, either directly or indirectly. For example, many Personal Laws have unequal
    distribution of rights amongst women and men with regards to inheritance, marriage, owning
    property etc.
    Issues like female foeticide, dowry, child marriage, girl child education, sexual and non-sexual
    violence etc. are still rampant in India, despite specific legislations, and are a constant attack on
    the Fundamental Right of Women to Personal Life and Liberty guaranteed under Article 21 of the
    Indian Constitution.
  3. Reproductive Technologies and Rights of Women
    Motherhood in Indian society is an identity given to women, which many times defines
    them. From ancient times, the problem of “INFERTILITY” was linked to women only. This has resulted in the ill-treatment of infertile women by their in laws and society as a whole treats them as a bad omen. Such treatment towards women is also the cause of increased mental health issues.
    Over the last decade, Indian Courts have issued several notable decisions recognizing women’s reproductive rights as part of the “inalienable survival rights”, implicitly protected under the Fundamental Right to Life. Certain ground-breaking judgments have laid the foundation for Indian Courts to play a strong role in preventing and addressing ongoing violations of women’s reproductive rights.
  4. Legislation, Policies, and Law to Achieve Women’s Empowerment
    The Constitutional mandate of ensuring gender equality and equity is being maintained by the
    State through various enactments and legislative measures that ensure the protection to women’s
    rights and dignity. These include provisions in Penal Laws and many Special Laws that have been
    enacted for addressing specific crimes against women. For instance, the Indian Penal Code,1860,
    the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 (Amended in 1995), Dowry Prohibition Act, (Amended in 2005),
    The Equal Remuneration Act, 1976, The Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006, Indecent
    Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986, The Protection of Women from Domestic
    Violence Act, 2005 and The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition
    and Redressal) Act, 2013.

About the Conference and Call for Papers

The disciplines of Law, Language, and Literature have had a symbiotic relationship since time immemorial. Law’s existence is dependent on language and the latter personalizes and expresses the legal norms that a society or community requires. Language also helps solve legal disputes and provides a link of communication between the citizens of a country. Literature plays a catalyst role in the manifestation of the legal framework, and legal practice remains a thrilling theme of literature. The combination of these three disciplines provides a new thought-provoking field of study about their relationship and their effect on our society. Their relationship has led to the creation of art that has influenced and shaped the way so many people think and created a number of socio-cultural norms.

The conference and call for papers intend to explore and study this relationship by creating a space for students, researchers, and academicians to pen down their thoughts and have a meaningful dialogue. Doing this would provide them with an insight and an analysis of the aforementioned relationship.

We will be honored to have you as participants in the National Conference. Looking forward to your gracious presence at our event.

Please find enclosed the brochure for the National Virtual Conference and Call for Papers for your reference.
