Abstract

Although the media in India offers various examples of the mainstream population vehemently protesting brutal rapes of women, subtler forms of violence against women continue to be normalized. In many ways, Indian society continues to confer a secondary standing to women, maintaining age-old regressive affective inclinations toward them. Using rhetorical analysis, this article explores how some NGOs in India act as counterpublics, aiding in the transformation of these affective inclinations toward women to foster an enduring change in how women are perceived. The study explores these NGOs' rhetorical strategies and offers practical implications for other organizations.

非政府组织，反公众，以及对印度性别暴力修辞的情感变化的需求。

尽管印度媒体提供了各种主流人群强烈抗议残酷强奸妇女的例子，但针对妇女的更微妙的暴力形式继续正常化。在许多方面，印度社会继续把妇女置于次要地位，保持着对她们由来已久的退步的情感倾向。本文运用修辞分析，探讨了印度的一些非政府组织如何扮演反公众的角色，帮助改变对女性的情感倾向，从而促进对女性的看法发生持久的变化。本研究探讨了这些非政府组织的修辞策略，并为其他组织提供了实践启示。
