Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded in social, economic, and political systems. Yet its development and deployment are marked by persistent gender disparities. Women are systematically underrepresented in AI research, policymaking, and corporate leadership, while at the same time facing disproportionate harms from algorithmic bias. This paper interrogates the gendered dimensions of AI through three interlinked themes: (1) women’s participation in AI development, (2) gendered impacts of AI systems, and (3) governance frameworks for inclusive innovation. It traces the historical and structural factors that have led to the underrepresentation of women in science and technology, including educational inequalities, workplace discrimination, and unpaid care work. It then examines how biased training data, opaque algorithms, and unregulated deployment produce discriminatory outcomes in fields such as healthcare, recruitment, predictive policing, and content moderation. Using case studies from the European Union, India, and international organizations, the paper assesses current policy responses and highlights their limitations in addressing systemic inequities. It argues for a feminist framework of AI governance grounded in intersectional data audits, participatory design, algorithmic transparency, and substantive representation of women as co-creators of technology. Such an approach moves beyond tokenistic inclusion and reframes women not as vulnerable subjects but as active producers of AI knowledge. By centering gender justice in AI ecosystems, policymakers can ensure that technological innovation advances substantive equality and human rights rather than reproducing old hierarchies in new digital forms.

ABSTRACT

One of the oldest and most pervasive systems of social control, patriarchy has historically denied women equal rights and conditioned them into submissive roles. Women have been confined within male-created and reinforced power structures for centuries. Though these roles were frequently framed within patriarchal narratives that glorified their subordination to men, women in ancient times held spaces of reverence as mothers, nurturers, and occasionally as rulers or scholars. Women’s marginalization increased with the introduction of organized religion and the codification of laws. Discrimination against women was institutionalized by social norms, religious precepts, and hierarchical status divisions. By dictating women’s subservience to fathers, husbands, and sons, ancient texts such as the Manusmrithi legitimized male dominance and reduced women’s autonomy to almost nothing. Gender inequality has been sustained across generations as a result of these artificial concepts becoming cultural norms. Education, property rights, political participation, and even basic freedoms were restricted for women. In addition to being accepted as normal, the exploitation and conditioning of women was also defended as necessary to uphold social order. The historical foundations of patriarchy, its social and religious expressions, and its long-lasting effects on women’s rights are all critically examined in this article. It makes the case that breaking down such ingrained barriers calls for a mix of social awareness, legal reforms, and empowerment tactics that go against oppressive customs. Society can move closer to a more inclusive and egalitarian future by dismantling patriarchal ideologies and reclaiming women’s rights.

ABSTRACT

Cyberbullying is a particularly heinous form of cybercrime; it is different from traditional bullying because of its far-reaching impact through the digital space. Although bullying is not a new concept, its digital form, cyberbullying, has become an accepted “new evil” in today’s connected society. Cyberbullying disproportionately affects women, who are frequently viewed as the most vulnerable portion of society. Women and girls are more vulnerable to online harassment due to the growing accessibility of the internet and mobile technology, endangering their safety and privacy.

This study explores the unique challenges faced by women in the online space, mainly focusing on the rising issue of cyberbullying. It examines the role of the Indian legal system, studies all the laws relating to this problem, and studies related case laws advocating for a human rights-based approach to empower women, freedom of expression, and protection from violence in cyberspace. The paper highlights the importance of measures, well-informed policies, and collaborative efforts of citizens and government to mitigate risks and promote women’s well-being online. By understanding both societal and legal perspectives, The study emphasizes the necessity of an all-encompassing plan to stop cyberbullying and provide a safer online space for Indian women.

ABSTRACT

India is one of the largest countries in the world with different biodiversity. Mainly, the livelihoods of indigenous peoples depend on the preservation and protection of traditional knowledge about the use and operation of biological and natural resources. In recent years, traditional knowledge has become more and more important, and multinational companies and research institutions have used this knowledge for commercial purposes for free. This jeopardizes the protection of traditional knowledge by local and indigenous communities, which seems to be one of the most contentious and difficult issues. Even India’s dominant intellectual property, access and benefit sharing paradigm cannot fully protect knowledge because it reflects Western norms and laws and only focuses on the protection of intellectual property rights in the community. India has witnessed many incidents of biological plagiarism and a more comprehensive approach is needed to protect community rights and novices and biological genetic resources from such misappropriation. By enumerating various cases of biological piracy, the necessary steps to protect new technologies and biodiversity are necessary. Even India’s dominant IPRs, access and benefit sharing paradigm cannot fully protect knowledge because it reflects Western norms and laws and only focuses on the protection of IPRs in the community. India’s traditional knowledge is proving to be a powerful weapon in the fight against false patents, sometimes referred to as “bio-piracy”. Our country has witnessed many incidents of bio piracy and a good inclusive approach is needed to protect the rights of the community, novices and biological genetic resources from such misuse. By enumerating the various cases of bio-piracy, it is necessary to take necessary steps to protect new technologies and biodiversity.

ABSTRACT

The frameworks for bankruptcy and insolvency in the US and India are compared in this article, with an emphasis on their respective histories, procedural distinctions, and effects on corporate settings. India’s Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) of 2016 introduced a creditor-in-control model, where the management of a defaulting company is suspended, and a Committee of Creditors takes charge of the resolution process. In contrast, the US Chapter 11 bankruptcy system follows a debtor-in-possession approach, allowing existing management to retain control during restructuring, which generally supports business rehabilitation and continuity. While the IBC has streamlined insolvency proceedings in India and improved creditor confidence, challenges such as procedural delays, frequent amendments, and limited cross-border insolvency provisions persist. A strong legal system and well-defined procedures for international collaboration, which make it easier to recognise foreign bankruptcy cases, are advantages of the US framework. The practical impact of these variations on stakeholders, such as creditors, shareholders, and workers, are also covered in the study, with a focus on how bankruptcy laws affect market dynamics and corporate risk-taking. It further identifies shortcomings such as India’s need for enhanced judicial capacity, formal cross-border protocols, and procedural consistency, while noting that the US could improve oversight and expedite proceedings to prevent potential abuses of the debtor-in-possession model. Ultimately, the paper argues that both countries can learn from each other: India by incorporating more debtor friendly measures and strengthening international cooperation, and the US by refining procedural efficiency. This comparative study aims to provide valuable insights for policymakers, legal practitioners, and business stakeholders to foster more effective insolvency regimes that support economic growth and stability in an increasingly globalized market

ABSTRACT

This AI-generated content now has a different meaning than that of the machine learning and neural network point of view. This vary technological breakthrough raises challenges and discussions worldwide about what is human and machine creativity. There are different histories of copyright and authorship connected to one another through the case studies of AI-generated works and the disputes created over them. Indeed, the legal situation is beset by a formidable challenge-how do AI-generated content and concepts find a place within copyright law? Differing practices across nations are more than enough evidence that there exist significant gaps in the global copyright guidelines. Integration between governments, companies, artists, and additional parties will be sorely needed to produce frameworks still to come. The benefits of AI-generated content are many, such as increased efficiency, enhanced creativity, better access, and wider diversity among kinds of creative output. And these benefits come hand in hand with aligning the risks it poses-stability versus quality, originality, job displacement, and ethical aspects concerning bias and fair use. The frequency of impacting creators and industries will be unseen; tackling these issues evokes a great deal of active thinking and innovative approaches to achieving commonality in creativity between humanity and artificial intelligence. To follow trends, adaptation always needs to be ensured in the future by working together. Therefore, a holistic approach is significant in understanding and managing AI-generated content towards a restorative and innovative future for the creative industries.
