Misogyny & Faith: Extreme narratives curtailing the autonomy of women
Both with the majority community and even among minorities, recent online campaigns, women who have exercised autonomy have become a particular target; normal, mixed social interactions, modes of dress, and inter-faith interaction are made to appear as breaches of community standards. The CJP Team has noted and analysed these tendencies that have also become aggressive and violent against minority Muslim women. Apart from all else, these actions that are clearly supported by a collective and organised group constitute a clear violation of fundamental rights as enshrined in Articles 14, 15, 19(1)(a), and 21 of the Constitution
