Biography
K.P. Jayaraj is a senior research specialist at Child Rights and You (CRY), New Delhi, India. His research focuses on gender, masculinities, and sexuality as well as child rights, and male child sexual abuse.
"Sexuality, Masculinities and Resistance in South India by K.P. Jayaraj comes not only as a breath of relief but in fact as an inspiration especially to those who shy away from often even recognising the existence of sexuality and sexual rights. Written with much courage, compassion and passion, never reneging on analytical rigour, sensitive and scientific both theoretically and empirically, a difficult task indeed."
