Domestic Violence Research: Expanding Understandings but Limited Perspective Interventionist Interest
نویسنده
چکیده
Lessons from domestic violence research and advocacy in India can contribute to transnational feminist perspectives. Violence against women is interconnected and intermeshed with power imbalances of many kinds, emanating from the local social-cultural contexts as well as global factors such as development/underdevelopment, war and ethnic strife, poverty and related structural conditions. All these may contribute to a generalized culture of violence and manifest in gendered forms of violence and abuse. This paper attempts to draw on a history of domestic violence research in India to reflect on understandings of causation and correlations of domestic violence so as to critically examine the implications of adopting assumptions, theoretical orientations and frameworks developed by or borrowed from Western scholars.
