India Armed Violence Assessment
The India Armed Violence Assessment promotes systematic research on all forms of armed violence in India. The project emphasizes the full dimensions of armed violence, from cross border terrorism, domestic insurgencies, and militant separatism, to less publicized risks to individuals from crime, social conflict, and gendered violence. Look to IAVA for original research, armed violence news, partner institutions, and international research.
