Debates,discussions and conferences make their worth when it gives some output in a problem solving manner. It should find out the answers of what ought to be rather than only focussing  only on what is? Patna Women's College Political Science Department and History Department in collaboration with Women's Development Corporation and Centre for Gender Studies is organising an  INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CHALLENGING PATRIARCHY : A HUMANIST PERSPECTIVE from 26th-28th October 2016. Let us hope that the Conference will come out with some solution and innovative ideas. My paper for conference is 'ISLAM ,GENDER JUSTICE AND UNIFORM CIVIL CODE'. Mumbai High Court's decision to allow women in Haji Ali Dargah is appreciable and will have a deep impact on the efforts being made towards achieving the goal of Gender Equity. Change is inevitable  and is a continuous process in a  progressive society. No doubt Islam need renaissance in totality to let valued the article 21 of constitution RIGHT TO LIFE WITH DIGNITY  and Humanism.
The statement given by All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) in Supreme Court that " Sharia grants right to divorce to husband because men have greater power of decision making" is ridiculous. This shows the mentality of the persons sitting at such a level, Certainly it is an indicator that the gender equality issue is going to take a long time to settle.
