Contesting restrictive mobility norms among female mentors implementing a sport based programme for young girls in a Mumbai slum

Experience of sexual harassment in public spaces has been found to be associated with restricted mobility, interrupted ed…

This article finds that notwithstanding the soundness of the claims, Naga territoriality is not a non…
