Violence Against Women

Our research studies and consultations on violence against women have been crucial towards informing law reform processes in state legislation. The government of Rajasthan enlisted PLD to conduct training disseminating the law across all districts of the state and to create an informative brochure on the state law.

We conduct training on themes of gender based violence against women and the law, particularly in relation to domestic, sexual and targeted forms of violence including witch hunting.

Our resources on violence against women include posters on laws relating to women are available in 6 regional languages. To obtain, please write to us at resources@pldindia.org.
