Il patriarcato è alla base del mondo in cui viviamo, e questo influisce su tutti coloro che non si indentificano nei suoi tratti, il più ampio gruppo oppressò è quello delle donne. In questi ultimi anni con il movimento per i diritti delle donne questi crimini sono venuti alla luce e lentamente sono combattuti. Uno di questi casi è l’India, una delle più grandi e crescenti democrazie, che ha la sua culture strettamente legata alla misoginia Per venire in soccorso di queste donne che vivono la loro quotidianità, uno studio che vada ad analizzare a fondo il contesto, le vite, le abitudini e le pratiche allo scopo di creare una soluzione che posso aiutare gli oppressi a riceve l’aiuto che meritano. È chiaro che questo ciclo di oppressione ha regnato a lungo nella cultura, ciò significa che gli attuali meccanismi di sostegno non funzionano a dovere. Per comprendere meglio la situazione, uno studio di cosa è presente sul mercato come mezzo di supporto è stato condotto, per comprendere quanto sono efficaci e per comprendere in cosa stanno fallendo. Da queste osservazioni una bozza di requisiti ottenuti ha dato una migliore idea sulla direzione da seguire per raggiungere la soluzione necessaria. La maggior parte di queste sono soluzioni possono funzionare in questo particolare contesto. Inoltre per comprendere l’ importanza della non violenza e concentrandosi sull’assicurare alle vittime l’aiuto di cui hanno bisogno in un grave momento. Un design per lavorare verso un mondo migliore dove le donne e tutte le vittime del patriarcato non avranno bisogno di guardarsi dietro le spalle in ogni momento nel timore di essere aggrediti. per evitare a tutti lo stress, di respirare tranquillamente come tutti dovrebbero.

Abstract
The world we live in has been built on a foundation of patriarchy, and this affects anyone who doesn’t identify with it’s traits. The largest group oppressed by this is women. In recent times with women’s rights movements these crimes against women has come to light and are slowly being fought back. One such context is India, one of the largest and fast growing democracies, which has it’s culture deeply rooted along with misogyny. To come to aid of these women who go about their daily lives, a study to understand the context, lives, habits and practices to develop a solution that could possibly aid and help the oppressed receive the aid they deserve. It is clear that this circle of oppression has prevailed for long in the culture, which meant there must be coping mechanisms which are not delivering to their needs. To understand this better, an study of what is available in the market to aid, and how effective they are. Furthermore, to understand where they fail to perform. From these observations an outline of requirements obtained gave a better sense of direction to the needed solution. A majority of which are how a solution works in this specific context. Furthermore, to understand the importance of nonviolence and focusing on providing the victims the help they require at an ill moment. A design to work towards a better world where women or anyone victimized by patriarchy would not have the need to look over their shoulder at every moment in fear of being assaulted. To spare everyone the stress, and breathe freely as one should.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
