The Struggle Against Gender-Based Violence: Insights from I Am Vidya: A Transgender’s Journey

Author(s) Dr. Rachena Devi Sen, Dr. Shubha Vats
Country India
Abstract Abstract: Gender-based violence (GBV) refers to harmful acts directed at individuals based on their gender or sex. It is rooted in gender inequality, discrimination, and the social norms that perpetuate power imbalances between genders. GBV can occur in various forms, including physical, sexual, emotional, and psychological violence, and can happen in both public and private settings. This research paper investigates the experiences of gender-based violence (GBV) as depicted in Living Smile Vidya's autobiographical account, I Am Vidya. The narrative presents a poignant exploration of the systemic violence faced by transgender individuals, particularly in the Indian socio-cultural context. Employing a qualitative thematic analysis, this study identifies key forms of violence, stigma, and resilience portrayed in the text. By applying an intersectional framework, the paper situates Vidya's experiences within broader social structures of power and discrimination. It argues that narratives like Vidya's are crucial for understanding the complexities of GBV and the imperative for advocacy and policy change. The study concludes with recommendations for further research and the necessity for urgent systemic reforms to address the pervasive issue of GBV against marginalized communities.
