South Asian Women’s Studies

South Asian Women’s Studies is an academic field that explores the experiences, histories, and issues faced by women in South Asia, which includes countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. It examines how gender intersects with culture, religion, politics, and social structures to shape women’s identities and roles. The discipline aims to highlight women’s contributions, challenge gender inequalities, and promote understanding of diverse perspectives within South Asian communities. By doing so, it contributes to broader discussions on gender justice, empowerment, and social change in the region.
