Visible outside, invisible inside: the power of patriarchy on female protest leaders in conflict and violence-affected settings

Keywords

Overview

The literature on women’s participation in public protests and movements shows that even when they are prominent actors within these, most women are excluded from the male-dominated decision-making spaces within which negotiations with the state occur.

Overview

The Shaheen Bagh site epitomised the longest sit-in intergenerational protests in India since Independence.
