Indian Journal of Gender Studies

Aims & Scope

The Indian Journal of Gender Studies is a peer-reviewed journal.

It aims at providing a holistic understanding of society.

Its objective is to encourage and publish research, analysis and informed discussion on issues relating to gender.

Often, contributions challenge existing social attitudes and academic biases that obstruct a holistic understanding of the role of the family, particularly of its women members, community and a wider polity.

In recent years, the journal has focused on women in politics, violence as a phenomenon, disability, the social organization of the family, women’s livelihood matters, institutional, legal and policy questions, and motherhood and child care.
