Includes in-depth interviews and case studies, and explores critical themes such as marriage, rights, family, violence, property and the staPresents alternatives beyond the domain of law, such as qualitative medical care and legal aid facilities, shelter homes, short-stay homes, childcare facilities, and economic and social security provisions to survivors and their children.
