A seminar on the impact of violence on woman and children in conflict areas in India, with particular reference to North-East, was organized by St. Joseph’s College of Jakhama, in collaboration with Tata Institute of Social Sciences Research Centre today. The seminar was sponsored by Indian Council of Social Science Research.
Dr. Xavier Mao was the speaker and his topic was ‘man, moral and violence’ he stressed on the importance to discuss violence in a holistic way. His findings were that violence and torture on women in some parts of India is sex-related and is also mostly based on Myth, false belief, wrong priorities and historical differences. However, in North East Violence is mostly perpetrated by the state which is more dangerous especially in the context of Government of India promulgation of Special Power Act, he said.
