Women in Advocacy- Liberation or Oppression in Contemporary Society

he efforts to change the society must begin from the work sphere,speci cally the
legal profession. The “legal sphere” is an appropriate starting place for any change
to prevail in the society; the basic structure for society emulates from the legal
sphere but women are still the primary participants either in the home or ‘legal
sphere’’. Advancement of society begins from the effort to bring effective changes
is more likely if that effort begins with the legal sphere. The suppression of gender
occurred during the british revolution and after Liberalisation, globalisation and
Privatisation resulting in the notion that men should work in the public marketplace
while women to be remained in the private realm of the family. Although the status
of women has changed, the public-private distinction has not disappeared.Women
are expected to perform their traditional domestic roles in addition to their newly
acquired professional ones.Consequently, women are hampered by two con icting
perceptions: that women are responsible for private realm of family and public
workforce responsibilities. Speci c pattern have emerged in the legal profession
on the basis of sex discriminating among advocates which failed to recognize
the role they have played in perpetuating gender discrimination. Recognizing
the commitments beyond the of ce, adopt positive provisions allowing for such
obligations which facilitate the equal participation of men and women both in and
out of the workplace. This paper is an attempt to explore the oppression involved in
legal sphere and liberal opportunities for women.
