Q. Which institution released a ‘Handbook on Combating Gender Stereotypes’?
Answer:
Supreme Court of India
Notes: The Supreme Court has made an important contribution to gender equality and justice by issuing a handbook that is expected to guide judges and members of the legal community to identify and avoid wrong stereotypes, especially about women.
