    Hello there! We're back with a brand new episode of the Naari-tives! This time, we sit down with Ms. Ashwini N.V from Muktha Foundation to talk about a concept that deserves a lot of attention: Spousal Violence. We talk to her about the types of abuse, how the same can manifest across households, how it can impact an individual's mental health, and the ways in which to address the concerns associated with abuse.

    • (E21) Female Criminality and Women Offenders

      Hey there, and welcome to the 21st episode of the Naari-tives. Quick question: Think about how you would "picture" a "criminal". What do they look like? 


      Well, for starters, is your image of a criminal is male, you probably get why we're here today- a large percentage of perpetrators of crime are thought to be male. While there is a certain truth to that statement, it is integral to also understand the nuances and intricacies of crime perpetrated by women, and the potential influencing factors of the same. We have with us today, Dr. Mebin Wilson Thomas. As Assistant Professor of Forensic Science, he holds a postgraduate degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice Administration from the University of Madras. So what are you waiting for? Let's take a deep dive into the world of crime...and well, the role that women play in the same!
