The book “Web of Women Abuse: Understanding the Spectrum of Violence” examines diverse forms of violence against women across the life course in the Indian context. It conceptualises violence as an interconnected web shaped by patriarchy, discrimination, unequal power relations, and harmful cultural practices. Through ten chapters, it explores domestic violence, harassment, discrimination, honour killings, acid attacks, trafficking, challenges of working women, cybercrime, rape and marital rape, and hostility toward older women. The book reveals that such abuse is structural rather than episodic, operating in homes, workplaces, communities, public spaces, and digital spheres. Scholarly yet accessible, it is useful for students, teachers, researchers, activists, and policymakers concerned with sociology, gender, law, and social justice, and it urges critical reflection on reforms needed to build a more equal society.
