| dc.description.abstract | Although there have been few or limited reports of Sexual violence against the Dimasa Community in Assam, the growing exposure to modernisation, migration, digital connectivity, and outside cultural influence may cause social norms to shift and the current social fabric to be called into question because of changing demography and values systems, offences against women and other vulnerable Sectors of the Society has become more .prevalent, highlighting the urgent need for culturally sensitive and gender-responsive legal frameworks. In this context idea of age-old tradition is vital to evaluate whether the Dimasa System of tribal autonomy, which is based on customary law and community-based justice, has the legal and structural ability to defend against Sexual Violence against the Dimasa Tribal women. | |
