Event Description : Zubaan Books presents "Critical Conversations #8: How Juvenile is Juvenile?"
Who is a juvenile and who is not? Can age be the only defining factor to determine an issue that has such wide-ranging implications and ramifications? How does one look at the Juvenile Justice Act that is currently being discussed, and how will it impact consensual sex? Will it bring greater numbers of people within the ambit of criminal law? How do we look at concepts of ‘maturity’ and ‘criminality’ in a young person? Is deeming someone a ‘heinous offender’ at 16 the reflection of a society determined to punish rather than reform? Can we ensure the safety of women and society at large by punishing juvenile offenders like adults?
Join us in debating these questions with- Dr. Joachim Theis (Child Protection Chief, UNICEF India), Dr. Achal Bhagat (psychiatrist and psychotherapist), Ms. Suneeta Dhar (Director, JAGORI) and Ms. Atiya Bose (Director, Policy and Advocacy, Aangan Trust). The discussion will be moderated by Ms. Enakshi Ganguly Thukral (Co-founder and Co-Director, HAQ: Centre for Child Rights).
