New Report on Violence Against Marginalized Groups in Bangladesh, India and Nepal
Monday, June 4, 2012 12:10 PM
Finding that women marginalized from mainstream society suffer higher rates of violence and receive less protection from State agencies, the report is the first study of this scale in the region. It contains policy recommendations to reduce violence against each of these groups of women, and highlights the need to avoid creating a “hierarchy of marginalization” whereby some types of marginalization carry greater political capital than others.
The report summarizes the findings of three country studies conducted by CREA in collaboration with University College London, James P Grant School of Public Health, BRAC University, Bangladesh; Society for Nutrition, Education, and Health Action, India; and Centre for Research on Environment Health and Population Activities, Nepal.
