Are men and women equal? Have we really progressed as a society? Is equality possible? Are children accorded the status of "human beings" in our society? Are they entitled to basic human rights as adults are? What are the problems faced by women and children in our country? Do women and children get their due rights? Is there something we can do? The Unheard Predicament is a series of reflections on these questions. It is an attempt to find solutions to social and legal problems faced by women and children in our country, in a pre-emptive way by drawing on various disciplines ranging from law to philosophy to sociology, and psychology.
