Keywords:
Equality, Constitution, India, Canada, DiscriminationAbstract
Women have been inherently perceived as an inferior sex for several generations. The discrimination does not restrict itself to any national boundaries, it has been a global issue for several decades. Through the liberal dynamics in societal perception, there have been several initiatives and movements to do away with the long-standing prejudice and disadvantaged position of women. Diverse commonwealth nations have initiated discourse to address the subjugation of women in the modern society. Both, the Indian and Canadian Constitution have been derived from American jurisprudence and are intrinsically comparable. Further, both the constitutions can be distinguished with respect to standards of interpretation. Various provisions, which entail rights and protection towards gender-based discrimination have been incorporated in the modern-day legal system. However, it becomes pertinent to discuss as to how far these legal initiatives have aided the society to be prejudice-free. The objective of this Research paper is to delve into diverse realms of the Indian and Canadian Constitution with respect to Equality provisions. The distinctive ideas concerning the judicial system, the Constitution and the diversity in the socio-cultural perspectives has been analyzed. Further, it initiates a discourse on the text of the provisions and its comparability along with the difference in the standards of applicability.
