The forthcoming non-thematic issue proposes to engage in an interdisciplinary manner with the varied

ways in which women continue to face discrimination and marginalisation in the socio- economic, cultural

and political arena. Around the world, millions of women, irrespective of their age groups, social classes,

locations or cultures face a series of risk factors ranging from physical and psychological violence, sexual

abuse and coercion to human trafficking. Women’s vulnerability is little addressed in the developmental

policies of governments and the capitalist expansion of market economies. We invite papers that critically

engage with these and other related issues and offer fresh insights into the debate on the status of women in

India and around the world. Some of the sub-themes the issue hopes to examine are:

•Women and Democracy

•Globalization and Gender inequality

•Women, Violence and Vulnerability

•Representation of Women in Popular Media

•Gender Justice, Education and Empowerment

•Rethinking Gender Equality in terms of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Accessibility

•Women’s Participation in Public Life & Shifts in the Social, Political, Legal and Economic Environment.
