Have gender attitudes really changed in our country?

The World Economic Forum publishes the Global Gender Gap Report, which looks at gender equality around the world.\

When it comes to policy and law, there have been a number of important judgements and laws. For example, the judgement that recognised trans people as a third gender and the reading down of Section 377. The Domestic Violence Act (which Sujata mentioned) is a very, very important act that has transformed the nature of the ways in which women feel they have to be in a marriage. But my sense [is] that laws and policies come out of social churning; laws and policies don’t effect the transformation. So if you think about Section 377, there’s been massive mobilisation around it for decades on the ground; this is also true regarding the trans judgement. We have to recognise that laws and policies reflect social transformation; they don’t bring about social transformation.
