The woman’s body becomes a site of everyday violence that has been unfailingly normalised through the social institutions of marriage and family. The spaces of the households become the accepted ‘protected’ sites that pose a threat to the woman’s bodily and mental integrity. The Feminist Policy Collective (FPC), in collaboration with SAHAJ (Society for Health Alternatives), Institute for What Works to Advance Gender Equality (IWWAGE) and Institute of Social Studies Trust (ISST) organised a webinar on the 16th of November, 2023 to hold a discussion on the subversion of women’s fundamental rights within these spaces through economic violence, factoring in the discourse on unpaid care work in domestic spaces and women’s rights to their own bodies.
