Violence against Women and Girls

It highlights the fundamental relationship between health and violence and identifies institutional gaps, which hinder comprehensive healthcare and support to VAW survivors.

These include engagement with hospitals to increase awareness and sensitivity among health service providers and community-run health clinics for marginalised women. The book documents the mobili...
The Aftermath of Rape
This book documents the journey of the survivors of sexual violence as they navigate the gruelling criminal justice and health care systems and the stigma and hostility in their communities in the aftermath of the incident.

Feminist Counselling and Domestic Violence in India
Mainstream counselling in domestic violence often fails to address critical issues, such as gender socialisation processes and the abuse of power that allows violence against women, and focuses primarily on the intra-psychic nature of individual women. In contrast, feminist counselling is an effective alternative model, owing to its ability to address the fundamental correlation of abuse with power. In going beyond the individual, it helps women locate the source of their distress in the larger social context of power and control, manifesting in intimate, interpersonal relationships, and enables them to resist systemic oppression. This volume offers one of the first systematic documentations...
The Girl in the Pandemic
As seen in previous pandemics, girls and young women are particularly vulnerable as social issues such as homelessness, mental healthcare, access to education, and child labor are often exacerbated. The Girl in the Pandemic considers what academics, community activists, and those working in local, national, and global NGOs are learning about the lives of girls and young women during pandemics. Drawing from a range of responses during the pandemic including first person narratives, community ethnographies, and participatory action research, this collection offers a picture of how the COVID-19 pandemic played out in eight different countries.
Indian Feminisms
This collection of essays focuses on the post-1980s period of the Indian feminist movement, a moment rich in new and different modes of resistance, of widespread political engagements with issues of rights, of justice, of identity and much more.

In using the tools of feminist analysis – a focus on life stories, on oral accounts, on group formation and more – they also make a case for advocacy through lega...
LEGAL PROTECTION TO WOMEN IN SOUTH AND CENTRAL ASIAN REGION FROM DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: A FIELD EXPERIENCE OF MALWA AND DOABA REGIONS OF INDIAN PUNJAB
1. INTRODUCTION: Woman is an essential component of the universe, as a path of the circle of life. In all the systems of society, marriage is treated as a pious obligation and sacrament too. A successful marriage, which is also known as a partnership of life depends on affection, love and trust between husband and wife. This partnership needs the strong support of society in order to enjoy a smooth life. However, sometimes this social partnership comes to an end due to various reasons and these reasons may vary in different regions. Our world is divided into various regions, where the condtions of life are different in respect to the marital affairs. This research work is specific to the Asian context and where some hierarchical patterns may vary between persons and in society too. This also generates the domain of interpersonal relations to a large extent because the domestic violence is used as a method to inefficient aggressive violence to prove/ implement patterns of power and power relationships.
