Throughout the years PLD has complied various YouTube playlists with video resources, linked below:

Podcast with Adolescents

‘Mera Chashma, Mere Rules’ is a three-episode podcast, featuring four girls, from four different states, religions, social and familial setups, who discuss their struggles with mental health, patriarchal norms and structural inequalities. The podcast helps foreground concerns and aspirations of adolescent girls from marginalised contexts within the public domain as a way of helping go beyond policy debates to acknowledge lived realities and challenges that these girls grapple with. It was developed by PLD in collaboration with The Third Eye.

Child and Early Marriage

PLD as part of the Feminist Inquiries into Rights and Equality (FIRE) consortium and as secretariat of the National Coalition Advocating for Adolescent Concerns (NCAAC) has been hosting panel discussions on the predominant reliance on law as deterrent measures to address child and early marriage in India and South Asia region. The panels demonstrate evidence-based concerns arising out of such a trend and their effects on increasing vulnerabilities of adolescents.

Ways of Seeing and Being

A series curated by filmmaker Subasri Krishnan Partners for Law in Development (PLD) that will reflect on different feminist practices in the realm of art/culture/law and the archive. Through conversations with filmmakers, artists, photographers, sociologists and archivists, this series tries to understand how people’s individual work has been shaped by different ideas of feminism, and what this has meant for the idea of practice itself.

Navigating the Inner World of Consent

PLD and The Third Eye bring an unusual investigation into what it takes to build a consent culture. Turning attention towards the inner uncertainties and confusions through a psychotherapist’s lens, Navigating the Inner World of Consent speaks to the value of developing agency, self-esteem, boundary setting and self-awareness, and tools we need to survive modern relationships.

Gender and Sexuality

PLD explores the various facets of rights realisation interlinked with gender identity and sexuality.

Conversations about Consent and Rejection – Campaign:

To initiate conversations around these issues, PLD has produced a video-series speaking to the themes of ‘consent’ and ‘rejection’. These videos are an attempt to encourage critical, self-aware expressions of intimacy. Based on stories re-constructed from real cases, this series seeks to go beyond crime and punishment to explore and encourage transformatory approaches to popular attitudes and assumptions about sexuality.

Unboxing Consent and Handling Rejection: Panel Discussion and Launch of Video Series

In the course of helping organisations implement the sexual harassment at workplace law, PLD encountered several cases as well as questions conveying confusions in navigating the line between friendships and intimacy between peers. The panel discusses the themes of consent and rejection in relationships, during the launch of PLD’s video series.

Conversations about Consent and Rejection – Panel Discussion:

Panelists Madhu Mehra Paromita Vohra, Bishakha Datta, Sumit Pawar, Micky Bhatia and Harnidh Kaur talk about how PLD came up with the idea of making a series of videos on consent and rejection, what is the objective behind these videos and how important it is to bring up and discuss the grey areas that one frequently encounters among peers. The panel discussion held on 27th August, 2018 in Mumbai, in collaboration with Point of View and G5A Foundation, on the launch of PLD’s videos series on consent and rejection.

Rape Law and Constructions of Sexuality: Book Discussion:

The book questions whether sexual justice is possible through law – if ​the push for law reform is focused entirely on enlarging the scope of sexual wrongs and punishment​s​, without either building a sex-positive culture or pushing for decriminalising a range of stigmatised sexualities.

Rape Trial Study:

PLD conducted a panel discussion on 1st September, 2017 at IIC, New Delhi around our study on Pre-Trial and Trial Stages of Rape Prosecutions in Delhi.

Adolescent Sexuality, Health and Law:
