Dedicated to advancing the field of Women and Gender Studies, my research delves into the examination of rape culture within South Asian narratives. My research work is centred around a deep analysis of various texts and cultural artefacts to understand the factors that contribute to the perpetuation of this phenomenon. By contributing to the broader conversation on gender-based violence and social justice, I am determined to make a meaningful impact through my work.
