To create a pool of feminist lawyers to make gender responsive services accessible to women, NEN identified a group of lawyers from 5 districts of Assam and conducted the first residential workshop at Guwahati on 26 and 27 November 2022. They were from Kamrup, Darrang, Golaghat and Dhemaji district and are largely working with the cases of criminal, civil and domestic violence and are associated with District Legal Service Authority (DLSA).
Rashmi and Nilanju from NEN facilitated sessions on ‘Understanding gender as social construct’, ‘Patriarchy and its Impact on Social & Legal Institutions’ and ‘Challenges in addressing gender based violence’.
