  Rights of the Body and Perversions of War: Sexual Rights and Wrongs Ten Years Past Beijing

  2005

  Much groundbreaking work has been done by the movement against Violence against Women.

  BRIDGE, 2006

  Stigma and legal sanctions against homosexuality, as well as gender norms among men who have sex with men, lead to an emphasis on aggression, power play and penetration in male-to-male sex in India.
