Misogyny & Faith: Extreme narratives curtailing the autonomy of women

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
