metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: In the global era, women, particularly in sub-continent are facing violence in every section of
  society. They are not only abused by partners and other family members, but they are treated
  as a different and marginalized sect of society. While talking about Kashmir, the escalation of
  political turmoil led to the displacement of minority communities, mainly the Kashmiri Hindus,
  from Kashmir. The weak democracy in Jammu and Kashmir and the majority-minority
  dynamics in the state led to the displacement of about three lakh persons (primarily Hindus)
  from the valley in 1989. It is more than two decades since the displacement of minorities from
  Kashmir, and their prolonged living in the new locations has resulted in social and cultural
  changes post-displacement. The shift to a new location has significance in analysing how the
  traditional structures and practices are redefined in the new locations. An atmosphere of fear
  and threat developed in Kashmir after the alleged rigging in the 1987 state assembly elections
  and this heightened the frustration of a large number of Kashmiri youth due to malpractices
  of the government. The women (non-Muslim) mostly faced coercion in the form of abuses
  during the 1990s. Abusive slogans were displayed on loudspeakers and the rape threats were
  clearly visible in the letter that was displayed on the street poles. The assessment of this paper
  is to highlight violence against women during the escalation of displacement and after displacing,
  how such women face the same gendered violence outside the state. The paper would be
  based on experiences and narratives of Kashmiri pundit women, who are residing in different
  migration camps outside Kashmir. The study is based on descriptive and empirical analysis of
  a problem that can be studied by applying the exploratory approach.
