STRUCTURAL VIOLENCE AND SOCIAL INTERVENTIONS THAT MIGHT PREVENT IT

Structural Violence: Introduced in 1969 by Johan Galtung, structural violence refers to the form of violence wherein social structures or institutions may harm or otherwise disadvantage individuals by preventing them from meeting their basic needs. Structural inequalities are harmful to women due to the intersection of gender with existing conditions such as poor health, inadequate education, and healthcare. It has taken a toll on the physical, psychological, emotional, and economic life of a female.

Social Interventions that are effective in preventing or treating diseases such as HIV/AIDS or other infectious diseases:

  • The social marketing of condoms is a good societal intervention that has been proven efficient in reducing HIV/AIDS. Condom social marketing seeks to increase the popularity of condoms using advertising and mass media. It increases access to condoms by making them widely available to the general public through community health facilities, promotional events, and other mechanisms. With the combined increase in condom advertising and availability, these campaigns promote the idea that condom use is healthy and enhances positive behavior. Thus, condom social marketing results in increased rates of community-level condom use, thereby benefitting the multiple goals of HIV and STD prevention.
  • Giving classes about sex education and providing sufficient knowledge about sexually transmitted diseases and making people (especially women) understand the dangers of the diseases, will encourage them to implement ways of preventing them.

Aishwarya Says:

I have always been against Glorifying Over Work and therefore, in the year 2021, I have decided to launch this campaign “Balancing Life”and talk about this wrong practice, that we have been following since last few years. I will be talking to and interviewing around 1 lakh people in the coming 2021 and publish their interview regarding their opinion on glamourising Over Work.

Tips for Moot Court Competition

Moot court competitions are one of the most enjoyable aspects of law school extracurricular activities. The concept of moot court competitions is straightforward: they are intended to simulate a court hearing. Through moot courts, the law school provides students with a taste of what it is like to be in a courtroom. Even though it is a requirement in the final year, most law schools hold inter and intramoot court competitions throughout the year to help students improve their mooting skills.  The student usually receives a factsheet, which provides a brief understanding of the dispute in question between two or more parties who are assigned to either the Plaintiff or Defendant’s side of the dispute. The fact sheet is usually provided to the students.   These teams are tasked with creating a fact sheet that includes two speakers and a couple of researchers, among other things. Within the time limit, the students must conduct research into their cases, develop arguments, and prepare responses to the dispute in the form of petitions and affidavits in opposition. Then, on the big day, the participants must defend their positions in front of a panel of judges, who will score them based on a variety of factors including their overall performance. It could be anything from researching to drafting to making an oral presentation.   Let us talk about how to prepare for moot court presentations in greater detail.  Understand the laws that apply to you.  As a law student, you must be familiar with the relevant statutes. You are not permitted to enter the moot court without having completed any prior research or preparation. As a result, you should always begin with the facts of your case. If you’ve been given any sample briefs, make sure to read them thoroughly.  The goal is to:   state the most persuasive arguments for your side;   clarify any points that were not made clear in the written material;   address any weaknesses in your case;   and be familiar with the counterarguments to your opponent’s arguments.  Recognize the relevant facts of the situation.  Each and every page of the case should be familiar and understandable to you. At all times during the debate, you should present yourself as the expert on the facts and be able to answer any questions from the panel.   Consider taking your time when framing your arguments.  Keep in mind that your arguments should be natural and organic in nature. Your oral submissions will be judged on how well you frame your arguments. It must be constructed with a great deal of patience and consideration.  …
