On 7 March 2023, Aparajita and J-PAL South Asia convened their first expert roundtable to understand the landscape of gender-based violence and sexual harassment.
Researchers, practitioners, lawyers, and advocates examined how violence manifests across systems, highlighting structural gaps, underreporting, barriers to justice, and missing data.
Rather than solutions, the discussion surfaced critical questions and blind spots, shaping Aparajita’s early learning agenda and programme design.
