Feminist Jurisprudence

Feminist jurisprudence is a branch of legal theory that examines the ways in which law perpetuates gender inequalities and seeks to address these issues. It critiques traditional legal systems for often reflecting male perspectives and experiences while marginalizing women. Advocates aim to make legal rights and protections more equitable by highlighting how laws can reinforce societal norms that disadvantage women. Feminist jurisprudence promotes reforms to ensure that women’s voices are included in legal discourse and that laws are designed to protect and empower all genders, ultimately striving for a more just and inclusive legal framework.
