On today's episode of Yours Mentally we talk about the Psychology of gender based violence. This episode is in conversation with Simantini (Simi) Ghosh who is an Assistant Professor of Psychology and the current Head of the Department at Ashoka University, India.
We begin the episode by asking professor what is gender based violence and asked her to give some real life examples of gender based violence so our listeners can understand it better.
We then asked what are the different forms of gender based violence?
We talked about how does the psychological impact of sexual violence differ from emotional violence on a woman?
Often, gender based violence is considered synonymous with violence against women and I know that it is because majority of the gender based violence is seen against females. But how does gender based violence differ for men? Are the forms inflicted on them different?
As a follow up from the previous question, are the psychological effects of violence different on men as compared to women?
We also asked what are some forms of gender based violence that are seen in everyday life, like in schools and offices?
We then asked, as a developing country, what can we do to prevent and curb gender based violence?
Lastly, I (Tanisha) read that you are conducting research surrounding gender based violence. Can you tell our listeners about your research? Taking into consideration that this is such a sensitive topic, how do you collect data for your research?

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
