Online Certificate Course on Introduction to Gender and Violence by REVA University: Register by 28 June

Course Summary

This course provides a foundation for thinking about how we approach gender and violence from a theoretical perspective, where gender is understood as it intersects with categories such as race, class, caste, ethnicity, sexuality, age. Understanding gender as constitutive of how we think about violence, this course explores how violence particularly against women occurs across in different societies, its manifestation on a societal scale and the effects it has on women.

Course Aim

This course aims to examine the complex, multifaceted and global phenomenon of gender based violence. This course explores different theoretical and conceptual approaches to violence from an explicitly socio-legal standpoint, drawing and building on gendered and intersectional experiences of women in the context of violence against women. It is particularly concerned with the intersections between violence and gender, where gender is understood as it intersects with categories such as race, class, caste, ethnicity, sexuality, age. Bearing in mind that gendered violence has a long history, and is often justified in most patriarchal cultures, this course will focus on the following questions: Is there a sociological dimension to understanding violence against women? What structural conditions give rise to violence against women? What are the implications of inequality, discrimination, and violence on the rights of women and finally, How far is the existing legal framework both at the domestic and international level equipped in combating violence against women?
