本文是从性别角度对健康问题法律决定因素柳叶刀委员会的回应，重点关注基于性别的暴力和虐待。 《柳叶刀》委员会认为法律的作用是积极的，实际上在全球范围内提供正义方面发挥着核心作用，本文借鉴印度和其他地方的一些例子，探讨并阐明了这一主张。一些女权主义者认为，法律和正义对妇女来说是不相容的，当我们审视基于性别的暴力领域的法律改革和干预措施时，有时会证实这一点。然而，我们也探讨了一些妇女如何创造性地利用法律改革来破坏父权制规范的稳定，更广泛地说，缺乏法律保护会如何损害获得权利的机会。我们的结论是，法律与正义具有象征性的关系。
This article is a response to the Lancet Commission on the Legal Determinants of Health from gendered perspectives and focusing on gender-based violence and abuse. The Lancet Commission sees the role of law as positive, indeed central in providing justice in global contexts, and this contribution explores and unpacks this assertion, drawing on some examples from India and elsewhere. Some feminists have argued that law and justice are incompatible for women, and this is sometimes borne out when we look at legal reforms and interventions in the field of gender-based violence. However, we also explore the ways in which some women have used legal reforms in creative ways to destabilize patriarchal norms, and more broadly, how absence of legal protection can undermine access to rights. We conclude that law can have a symbolic relationship with justice.
