The commerce and railway minister was speaking at the inaugural session of the 20th International Conference of the Chief Justices of the World here.
"With the revocation of special status of Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 and 35A, the Centre has ensured a safe and sound future for the children of newly formed union territories," Goyal said.
He further said that gender justice can be ensured if governments, schools, the media and the judiciary around the world work collectively.
The international conference will be held from November 8 to 12 in Lucknow.
Presidents, prime ministers, parliament speakers, ministers of justice, chief justices and judges of 70 countries, along with eminent journalists and legal luminaries will take part in the event organised by City Montessori School, Lucknow.
