Call for Papers

Gujarat National Law University (GNLU) is a statutory University established by the Government of Gujarat under the Gujarat National Law University Act, 2003. The University is recognized by the Bar Council of India and the UGC.
About the Conference
The epoch-making changes in various technologies, particularly information and communication technologies (ICT) have left its indelible mark on almost all facets of society and criminal justice systems are no exception. The emerging discourse on the interface of cutting-edge ICT and the existing criminal justice systems range from essentialism to situations where technology adds substantial value to the criminal justice processes – from supporting to replacing human discretion in the justice dispensation chain.
We no longer refer to technology per se; instead, we have come to recognize a combination of disruptive technologies. The first is Artificial Intelligence (AI) which encompasses machine learning and intelligent cybernetics.
Second is the Internet of Things (IoT) that has enabled establishing the digital identity of not just all living beings on the planet apart from various inanimate participants in digital processes.
The third is blockchain technology which has a rich collection of applications that are already disrupting evidence systems, particularly in accounting and logistics by introducing new concepts of authenticity, using crypto primitives.
Alongside disruptive technologies, researchers are now looking at two waves of disruption to legal systems that are triggered by the need to relate the existing criminal justice systems to the compelling changes ushered in by disruptive technologies. Brownsword’s seminal work on this subject clearly indicates the power of these two disruptive waves hitting the coast of the existing legal system.
The first wave drives us to examine if the existing laws have lost their fitness-for-purpose in the context of the inroads made by technologies in general; not just ICT. The second wave is more about the ways in which technologies can be harnessed by the criminal justice dispensation system to add value, resulting in a better dispensation of justice.
This conference will address two key questions emanating from the interface of laws and technology, in the context of harnessing technology to improve the criminal justice process. First will be areas where the existing laws are seen as being out-of-sync with contemporary technologies and second will be areas where technology can be used to play a significant role in the criminal justice process; particularly in policing.

About the National Commission for Women, New Delhi
The National Commission for Women was set up as a statutory body in January 1992 under the National Commission for Women Act, 1990 to:
review the Constitutional and Legal safeguards for women;
recommend remedial legislative measures;
facilitate redressal of grievances and
advise the Government on all policy matters affecting women.
Since its inception, the Commission has initiated various steps to improve the status of women and worked for their economic empowerment. The Commission provides financial support for organizing Seminars/Conferences/Workshops/Webinars to Colleges, Universities, State Commissions for Women etc. with the objective of getting an insight into the relevant subject and also throwing up recommendations for better implementation or even modification of the existing policies/programmes/schemes/projects relating to welfare and empowerment of women.
Such programmes also provide a forum for sharing knowledge, information and experience of participants and resource persons on the subject. Such experience sharing could be helpful in better dissemination of the required information and also lead to better execution of schemes, etc. at the ground level.
About the Seminar
Women in a domestic space often are vulnerable and subjected to abuse in the background of patriarchal norms. Sec. 3 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 recognizes ‘abuse’ in a broad perspective including physical abuse, sexual, verbal and emotional abuse, and economic abuse.
However, it is usually only the physical and sexual abuse that is addressed seriously. The abuse is in a variegated form, often a combination of multiple abuses depending on the age, social strata, economic stability, cultural background in which the woman is situated.
Despite the passage of more than a decade, the number of reported cases of domestic violence have been increasing. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Commission for Women, Delhi registered an increase of 2.5% cases of domestic violence since the national lockdown.
The lockdown during the pandemic further deprived women of any possible institutional support in reporting the same. Women suffering from domestic violence, not only require medical aid but require psychosocial support in the backdrop of possible ostracization once the incident is reported. Even the first responders to the victims sometimes transmit institutionalized patriarchal attitudes.
Incidents, where the instance of domestic violence is occurring for the first time, are often settled so as to protect the honour of the families involved. Unlike other forms of violence, domestic violence is situated with the perpetrator and the victim continuing to share the same physical space.
It is in this background; the Seminar is organized with the following objectives:
To serve as an effective platform for sharing experiences on the existing legal framework and identify the possible gaps in its effective implementation including the rehabilitative measures.
To discuss and analyse the varied abuses that are not recognized by the existing legal framework.
To serve as a platform for women from academia, profession and other backgrounds, to discuss the impact of COVID-19 pandemic in domestic spaces and their challenges.
To come with suitable suggestions and recommendations in addressing the gaps and lacunae in the existing justice system.
Broad Themes
Identification and Theorizing abuse within Legal framework
Gender as a factor in Abuse and Violence
Laws and policies protecting women against domestic violence
International framework for curbing Abuse and Domestic violence
Judicial responses and trends in interpreting abuse and contexts of domestic violence
Enforcement agencies and Institutional responses towards survivors of domestic violence
Identifying unrecognized forms of abuse and violence in domestic spaces
Impact of COVID-19 pandemic in survivors’ access to justice
Community participation and Role of civil society in curbing abuse and domestic violence
The above-mentioned themes are only indicative and any paper relevant to the main theme of the seminar may be submitted.
Eligibility
The Seminar would be a medium through which activists, professionals, academicians, research scholars and students, collectively discuss domestic violence, the nature of abuse and the gaps within the existing legal and justice system.
