Karuna Nundy’s IDS Annual Lecture is entitled ‘Gender, Justice and Joy: Legal travels through the patriarchy, suppressed speech and corporate crime’. She reflects on how patriarchal laws have travelled across the globe alongside colonialism, how women’s activism comes into conflict with the law and the broader challenges facing gender rights defenders today amid co-ordinated backlash.
