There is growing acknowledgement that torture is too narrowly
defined in law, and that psychological and/or sexualised violence
against women is not adequately recognized as torture. Clearly
conceptualising torturous violence, this book offers scholars and
practitioners critical reflections on how torture is defined and
the implications that narrow definitions may have on survivors.
Drawing on over a decade of research and interviews with
psychologists, practitioners and women seeking asylum, it sets out
the implications of the social silencing of torture, and torturous
violence specifically. It invites us to consider alternative ways
to understand and address the impacts of physical, sexualized and
psychological abuses.
