Episode 11: Violence Against Women - Safety, Equality and Everyday Realities with Anandiben Patel

In this episode, we explore the realities of violence against women and what safety and dignity truly mean in everyday life. Why does the same street feel free at 11 AM but unsafe at 11 PM? With social work expert Anandiben Patel, we discuss visible and invisible forms of violence, inside homes and in public spaces, and how they impact women’s sense of freedom. Linking constitutional values of equality and non-discrimination with laws like the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, this episode looks at the gap between rights on paper and lived experiences, and the role society plays in creating safer spaces.Concept and Host: Aditi RindaniProduced under: The Samvidharak Fellowship by Sauhard and Azim Premji FoundationResearch and Script: Aditi RindaniProduction: Tatvam ProductionsDisclaimer:The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are solely those of the interviewee/guest and do not necessarily reflect the views of the host, producers, or any affiliated partners.
