Education, financial independence must for women’s emancipation, says SC judge

Commitment of women to work is ten-fold that of men, says Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul

Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul, Supreme Court judge, on Saturday said the emancipation of women was possible only through education and making them financially independent. “Women’s emancipation is two-fold. We have to make them educated and financially independent. But it will not happen suddenly. Things have started changing in the judiciary,” Justice Kaul said, inaugurating the year-long golden jubilee of the Ambedkar Government Law College. His reference to women’s emancipation came when he commented on Lieutenant Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan’s statement, while addressing the programme earlier, that she felt happy on the appointment of three women judges in the Supreme Court.
