Barriers to Women's Progression in the Indian Judiciary

Author(s) Anureshma Pillai
Country India
Abstract The persistent underrepresentation of women in India's judiciary, especially in leadership roles, continues to be a critical concern despite an increase in their participation. This paper examines the obstacles that impede women's progress within the judicial system, evaluates their impact on legal reforms, and advocates for measures to promote gender equity. Utilizing secondary data, the study identifies key institutional, societal, and structural challenges, including gender bias, difficulties in maintaining work-life balance, inadequate mentorship opportunities, and limited representation in senior positions, that restrict women's potential in the judiciary. Simultaneously, it highlights the significant contributions of women judges in advancing areas such as gender justice, family law, and domestic violence. The paper recommends targeted reforms, such as affirmative action, the implementation of gender-neutral policies, improved support systems, and stricter enforcement of anti-harassment measures, to foster a more inclusive and diverse judiciary. By addressing these issues, this study aspires to strengthen the judiciary's credibility and effectiveness while building a legal system rooted in equality and inclusivity.
Keywords Indian judiciary, women judges, gender bias, stereotypes, work-life balance, mentorship, institutional barriers
