Albertina Almeida: “Homogenisation: Assumptions and Consequences”
Albertina Almeida was one of two speakers at this session organised on 7th December, 2020, on “Homogenisation: Assumptions and Consequences,” which was part of the 16 days of Activism Programme of the Human Rights Advocacy and Research Foundation.
Albertina Almeida takes the mask off the uniform laws, such as some of Goa’s Family Laws and India’s Criminal laws, to show how uniformity of laws has no value per se in and of itself and is a project that glosses over inequalities based on gender and other axis of discrimination.
Errata: Albertina Almeida would like to clarify here that there is a mistake at the start of her talk (which is corrected at the end of the programme). While speaking of the amount of property that can be willed away by parents under the Goan law, she mentions one-third. The correct amount is one half.
