The Handbook on the Intersectionality of Sexual Violence Against Women in India is designed to shed light on the hidden layers of discrimination and injustice that survivors face. It explores critical questions such as:
- How do caste, religion, disability, and economic status shape a woman’s experience of sexual violence?
- Why do some survivors face more legal and societal barriers than others?
- How do existing laws in India address (or fail to address) intersectionality in sexual violence cases?
- What real-life cases highlight the urgent need for intersectional legal reforms?
- What role can individuals, policymakers, and grassroots organisations play in ensuring justice for marginalised women?
By offering insights, case studies, legal analysis, and practical solutions, this handbook serves as both an informational guide and a call to action. Whether you are a lawyer, researcher, activist, or concerned citizen, this resource will help you better understand the deep-rooted inequalities in India’s justice system and what can be done to bridge the gap.
