"This discussion paper is part of a larger research project by the Internet Democracy Project that looks at the sexist comments, sometimes downright abuse, that women who are vocal on social media face, and the ways in which women deal with such comments and abuse. While the discussion paper can be read independently, more information about the context in which the questions raised here first came up can be found in its complement, '”Don't Let it Stand!”: An Exploratory Study of Women and Verbal Online Abuse on the Internet in India'. The other would like to thank for their valuable inputs colleagues at the Internet Democracy Project, participants in the research as well as participants in two national consultations – in Delhi and Mumbai respectively – where this research was presented earlier. Unless mentioned otherwise, quotations used in this paper are from interviews conducted in the course of this research."
