Conceptualizing A Human-Rights-Friendly and more Humanitarian " Freedom" and " Justice" from a Woman, Tribal and Transgender Perspective: Empowering the marginalized through Legal Literacy

It is more often than not that we accord immense significance to objective region-wide universalizable conclusions collected from field or otherwise research but discard accounts of subjective individual experiences, which normally bedeck the library-shelves accommodating anything but not the place designated for accepted academic research literature. This paper seeks to be an unconventional endeavour at understanding fresher interpretations of the terms “justice” and “freedom” through a 60:40 mixture of moving accounts of subjective experiences and existent crystallized generalizations in the sociological, economical, psychoanalytical, legal, feminist, transgender and policy study discourses so that these terms can be made “Human-Rights-Friendly” and more humanitarian. Through this paper, I make a humble attempt at providing a platform to few unsung marginalized women, “Others” and men from India whose voices have always been marred, suppressed and completely ignored. This paper will be a novel and most likely the only one importing a gender-mainstreamed, tribal and transgendered perspectiveWomen, as usual, continue to be the lesser mortals sometimes because of non-friendly laws and at other times due to prevalent social codes. This paper suggests how legal literacy can empower such people to enjoy their human rights and be well protected during disasters and during peace.
