Anshula Mehta IMPRI

Dear IMPRI Well-wisher,

Greetings from Team IMPRI!

We hope you are healthy and safe.

This week's #WebPolicyTalks explore feminist jurisprudence and the gender bias in family laws, and asymmetric crime dynamics and social interactions. We then move on to a discussion on the book Educational Strategies for Youth Empowerment in Conflict Zones, and delve into a deliberation on the feminist vision of building a better world post-pandemic.

The newsletter, as always, will apprise you of these forthcoming events, IMPRI's recent publications, and videos of #WebPolicyTalks in case you missed them.

We hope to see you soon at one of our #WebPolicyTalks!

Wishing you the best for the week ahead,
Anshula Mehta, Senior Assistant Director, IMPRI
