The Longest Constitution with Priya Mirza

Domestic Violence and the Constitution


Listen Later

Bringing the Constitution home? That’s been a difficult journey.

Not the book, but the values and morality the constitution upholds.
Are the great values of our constitution meant to be talked about by great men but not lived? In this episode, we look at why the constitution is meant to transform every space - including the home and redefining family. It has meant asking the question: does being ‘at home’ mean the same thing to everyone, men and women. This has meant recognizing controlling institutions like patriarchy and the many kinds of violence inflicted on women, within marital and natal homes.
