Abstract
Designed to act possibly as an anchor for other contributions, this article responds to the preceding article on the Special Cell for Women and Children in Mumbai, and offers a broad, brush-stroke overview of a selection of criminal justice-focused activist responses to violence against women in India, the United Kingdom, and other countries. It reflects on the work of the Special Cell in the context of other women's support projects in police stations across the world, including Domestic Violence Matters, London, UK; the Family Consultant Service, London, Canada; and the women's police stations in Brazil. The article goes on to discuss the different activist responses in India and the United Kingdom, and both the contradictions around, and recent developments in, the activist provision of shelters worldwide.
