Panel 4 | Reporting Justice: Media’s Role in Judicial Gender Diversity | Jyoti Yadav

On 22nd and 23rd of March, 2024, the Centre for Law and Policy Research (CLPR) organised a 2-day National Consultation to analyse systemic barriers that hinder women’s advancement to leadership positions in the judiciary and discuss legal and institutional reforms that can promote gender equality. The media plays a multifaceted and crucial role in drawing attention to the persistent lack of gender diversity within the judiciary. CLPR invited both traditional and alternative media journalists for Panel 4, to explore the media’s role in highlighting the gender gap in the judiciary. Ms. Jyoti Yadav (Assistant Editor, The Print) spoke about her experience writing series, ‘Women in Courts’ where she investigated various issues faced by women judges in the lower judiciary. She spoke about the importance of the media looking beyond big numbers or headlines and the increasing numbers of women clearing the judicial services exams, to unpack the unreported challenges faced by them.
