Violence against Women and Children: The Meghalaya Scenario (2008)

Violence against Women and Children in MeghalayaOffences against women and children are so endemic in the society of Meghalaya that they now make up a standard component of a woman’s lifestyle. Violence against women and young girls in the workplace, at home, in the political arena, and in social settings has escalated.
