Details about the Credit Course
This Online Two-credit course on Human Rights and Social Justice: Disability, Gender, and Vulnerable Communities aims to explore the intersection of human rights and social justice, focusing on the legal, social, and policy frameworks affecting persons with disabilities, gender minorities, and other vulnerable communities. It examines key international and national human rights instruments, including the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), and Indian constitutional provisions.
Through case studies and critical discussions, students will get an insight to analyze discrimination, social exclusion, and intersectionality while assessing the role of state and non-state actors in advancing equity and inclusion.
