Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud has said that the Supreme Court would soon reveal a legal glossary of inappropriate gendered terms which are often used in legal discourse.
Speaking at a recent event organised by the Gender Sensitisation and Internal Complaints Committee of the top court, he also said that the efforts to create a larger space to reserve for women lawyers in the apex court’s annexe building were also in the pipeline.
The CJI hoped that the moves will help in breaking the presence of systemic barriers, and incidents of inappropriate behaviour, sexual and otherwise, targeting women.
