The project has focused on the material and discursive drivers of gender roles and their relevance to configuring violent geographies specifically among 12 urban working class neighbourhoods of Karachi and Rawalpindi-Islamabad. This project has investigated how frustrated gendered expectations may be complicit in driving different types of violence, and how they may be tackled by addressing first, the material aspects of gender roles though improved access to public services and opportunities, and second, the discursive aspects of gender roles in terms of public education and media.
