As the movement to end all forms of violence against women and
girls (VAWG) gains momentum around the world, this provocative new
work applies an innovative theoretical lens to gendered violence
across a wide variety of countries and contexts. Global
Perspectives on Violence against Women and Girls engages with VAWG
in the UK and across the global South, including case studies from
India, Pakistan and South Sudan. Considering various forms of
violence including harmful cultural practices such as FGM to Early
Child Marriage, dowry and bride price related harassment, stranger
rape, work-based harassment, Intimate Partner Violence and other
forms of domestic violence, this important volume creates an
original critical lens by combining the ecology model, the
intersectional approach and a spectrum designed to identify the
range of different forms of VAWG in a given context. Arguing for a
greater understanding of the local political and cultural contexts
in which VAWG is allowed to flourish, Global Perspectives on
Violence against Women and Girls is one of the few works to give
due prominence to local women’s organizations in the global South
and beyond, who it argues must ultimately play the leading role in
ending VAWG. At a time when the fight against violent misogyny
finds itself at a critical turning point, this volume makes a
substantial and timely contribution towards the ultimate goal of
ending VAWG.
