    Equal inclusion of Indigenous Women in Biodiversity Conservation Efforts in India: A Critique
    (Book Rivers, 2023) Nidhi Singh Arora
    Even though there is a gap between the rights guaranteed by the law and how they are exercised for all women. For indigenous women the gap is even wider due to the numerous forms of discrimination based on their gender, ethnicity, and socio-economic situation, as well as from within their own communities and from outside rural and urban areas. The loss of traditional occupations, coupled with climate change and the resulting deforestation makes it more difficult for indigenous women to exercise their rights. Therefore, it is crucial to make sure that indigenous women are included, recognized legally, and actively involved in land ownership and governance at all levels. In general, the term "biodiversity" refers to the diversity of life on Earth. Indigenous Peoples are acknowledged as being crucial to achieving the goals of the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Numerous threats to our biodiversity are coming from a variety of sources. However, environmental deterioration significantly impacts girls' and women's health and quality of life. For a policy on the conservation of natural resources to be successful, women must be included in all programs and policies. The study focuses on how indigenous women can help safeguard the environment.

    Challengess and Barriers to Access the Benefits of AI by Marginalized Sections of the Society: Exacerbation of Existing Societal Inequalitites in the Society
    (The Lawgical Junction and MJS Publishing House, 2024) Nidhi Singh Arora
    Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force shaping various aspects of society, from healthcare and education to transportation and finance. Its potential to optimize processes, enhance decision-making, and create innovative solutions has garnered significant attention and investment worldwide. However, amidst the enthusiasm surrounding Al's promises, it is crucial to critically examine its impact on marginalized communities. Marginalized communities encompass individuals who face systemic barriers and discrimination based on factors such as race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, disability, and sexual orientation. Historically, these communities have been disproportionately disadvantaged regarding access to resources, opportunities, and power. Al has the potential to either exacerbate existing inequalities or serve as a tool for empowerment and liberation, depending on how it is developed, deployed, and regulated. This paper explores the challenges and barriers faced by marginalized communities in accessing the benefits of Al, and how these issues exacerbate existing societal inequalities. Drawing from existing literature, this paper identifies key factors contributing to disparities in Al access and proposes strategies to mitigate these challenges. By addressing these barriers, policymakers, technologists, and advocates can work towards a more inclusive and equitable Al.
