Joint Action for Gender Justice: Signature campaign to end communal violence in Manipur (July 2023)
JCoR network members in Goa, India spoke out about communal violence in the state of Manipur and lack of intervention from the central Indian government; focusing especially on the effect of the violence on women. They were involved in a signature campaign on a letter to the Prime Minister and Home Minister of India as well as the Chief Minister of Manipur, which garnered 300 signatures in the first two days of its circulation. They also held a press conference calling for national- and state-government interventions to end the violence, including legal and mental health services for all who have been affected.
