Title Anarcho-Communism and Constitutionalism in Combatting Gender-Based Violence: A Comparative Analysis
Summary This thesis explores integrating anarcho-communist principles into constitutional systems to address gender-based violence (GBV) and challenge patriarchal structures. It compares illiberal democracies, particularly Hungary and India, with anarcho-communist societies like Rojava and the Zapatistas. The study focuses on decentralisation, direct democracy, and communal responsibility as methods for providing more inclusive, effective responses to GBV. It argues these frameworks not only protect women but also promote broader societal transformation by shifting from individual legal protections to collective empowerment and dismantling systemic gender inequality.
