This book brings together diverse feminist positions (some complementary and some differing)and viewpoints from South Asia and from groups working with South Asian communities in Canada, the UK and USA. The viewpoints range from wanting to name certain forms of misogynist violence as being 'honour' related, to feeling uncomfortable with using the term, especially in the context of racialised South Asian minorities living abroad.
