The study was intended to provide documentation of how women-led innovative responses have emerged, how they operate, and how successful they are in addressing the needs of women subject to domestic violence. Community responses to violence can open democratic forms of dispute resolution and to operationalise an objective process through a feminist perspective, incorporating a strong element of preventive justice. - Reproduced.  aWomen  aDomestic violence  aRajan, Anuradha  aEconomic and Political Weekly
