Shibani Pandya graduated from the MA Program in Peace Studies at the University of Innsbruck in November 2013. Her research focused on the ways myths and stories promote rape culture and gender stereotypes, particularly in Hindu mythology. She has since continued her work with challenging norms that encourage gender based violence through research projects, programmes and discussions through her work with UN Women and other grassroots, local organisations in Singapore.
