abstract="This article explores how women front-line workers engage with domestic and gender-based violence in the urban informal settlements of Dharavi in Mumbai, India. We conducted in-depth interviews with 13 voluntary front-line workers, along with ethnographic fieldwork in Dharavi, as a part of a pilot study. Our findings contribute to literature on context-specific approaches to understanding gender-based violence and &quot;models&quot; to prevent domestic violence in urban micro-spaces. Furthermore, we also discuss notions of &quot;change&quot; (badlaav) that the front-line workers experience. Finally, this article presents implications for socially engaged ethnographic research, as well as contextual and grounded insights on ways to reduce gender-based and domestic violence.<br><br>© The Author(s) 2016.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
