Title: ANBESHI 2011
Subtitle: A year Book on Violence Against Women
Description: This year’s Anbeshi once again stresses how complex the issue of violence against women is. The research shows how VAW is intricately linked with larger ideas of masculinity and femininity and their manifestation in extremely private spaces such as one’s home or public spaces such as the work place. The ways in which social violence is effected through a woman’s body and sanctioned by the state makes violence against women a form of political violence. In this background, the active role of the women’s movement can help create an environment for the state to address VAW issues comprehensively and ingently.
