Drawing extensively upon personal reflections and professional experience of academic research and non-governmental public action on a wide range of issues relating to crimes and offenses against women in South Asia, this book addresses the complex causes and impacts of domestic violence, sexual abuse and assaults, trafficking and migration and have also looked into a select range of NGO-run palliative and combative measures aimed at providing relief to their victims and survivors. It critically examines the stereotypical culture of NGO work with its concomitant "celebratory" discourse and the paradigm of thinking on benevolent social work. The editors and contributors, seasoned experts in their fields of academic and NGO work, explore rights-bound avenues of women's empowerment and access to justice, making this collection of analytical and biographic writings a must-read reference resource for teachers, researchers, students and all those interested in NGO affairs and the plight of women in South Asia.
