دانلود کتاب The Gendered Contagion: Perspectives on Domestic Violence during COVID-19

Amidst reports of the growing instances of domestic violence due to the ongoing pandemic and resulting lockdown, the Centre for Women and the Law (‘CWL’) and the Law and Society Committee at NLSIU, Bangalore along with the Leaflet have collaborated on an edited volume titled ‘The Gendered Contagion: Perspectives on Domestic Violence during COVID 19’. This publication is a special issue of the Gender and Human Rights Law which is a publication series of the CWL, that has covered both collections of essays/articles as well as books/ monographs in the past. This publication has sought to bring together different perspectives on domestic violence and the diverse issues being faced by gender and sexual minorities during the current time. It has contributions from Indian lawyers, civil society members and activists working at the grassroots level along with field notes from organisations working in both Indian and neighbouring countries in South Asia. The aim of this volume was both to bring together diverse experiences of affected people and stakeholders working on gender and sexuality issues as well as reflect on how current legal frameworks especially the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 have played out during the current pandemic.
