Gender-Based Violence in the Global South: Ideologies, Resistances, Responses, and Transformations de Ramona Biholar

Gender-Based Violence in the Global South: Ideologies, Resistances, Responses, and Transformations: Routledge Explorations in Development Studies

Editat de Ramona Biholar, Dacia L. Leslie
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 feb 2024
This book amplifies the different voices and experiences of those facing gender-based violence (GBV) in the Global South. It explores the localised ways in which marginalised individuals design modes of coping with and address GBV, including cultural interpretations, and artistic and faith-based expressions.
The book examines GBV triggers, prevalence, and societal impacts while referring to community, national, and regional mobilisation to deal with the phenomenon in its various manifestations, including physical, psychological, political, domestic, and public violence. It explores issues related to women’s negotiations with the patriarchal underpinnings of GBV; the role of the law and history in the perpetuation of GBV; the complementary role of culture and faith to legal protection against GBV, and access to justice for women and girls. In doing so, the book exposes understandings and expressions of GBV, as well as methodologies and indigenous initiatives to prevent it through local viable solutions. The book thus challenges the normalisation of GBV in the Global South.
Providing concrete and culturally relevant suggestions for challenging ingrained models of gender understandings of violence in the Global South, this book will be of interest to academics in the fields of Development Studies, Gender Studies, Women’s Studies, Violence and Abuse Studies, Human Rights, Criminal Law, and Socio-Legal Studies.

Recenzii

Despite decades of women’s movement campaigning, legislative change and responses from states and International human rights bodies, gender-based violence, continues to be a resistant global challenge. In Gender-Based Violence in the Global South: Ideologies, Resistances, Responses, and Transformations, Biholar and Leslie examine this complex social and gendered phenomena drawing on a wide range of comparative and diverse analyses from the Global South, to produce a rich collection that is globally relevant, shedding new light on a persistent challenge.
Rhoda Reddock, Professor Emerita, The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine Campus
 
This collection from the Global South tackles the epidemic of gender-based violence, addressing structural constraints while crucially inviting us to connect specific and determined efforts to challenge the status quo.  An urgent and necessary contribution.
Alissa Trotz, Professor, Caribbean Studies and Women and Gender Studies, University of Toronto
The authors are to be commended for their insightful examination of such an important global social issue. The book comprehensively interrogates gendered violence affecting women and men. It provides a roadmap for advocates, communities, and policymakers to effectively address gendered violence. This book is a must-read!
Aldrie Henry-Lee, Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Graduate Studies & Research, The University of the West Indies and One UWI Gender Equity and Justice Coordinator
An invaluable resource for practitioners and professionals, providing a prism for exploring gendered violence across the particular contexts of the Global South. Its chapters analyse power, intersectionality, gendered notions of victim, survivor and perpetrator, masculinities, juvenile offenders, resistance, culture, faith, and institutional mechanisms, all of which constitute structures and systems that reproduce violence in the Global South.
Hilary Gbedemah, Former Chair, UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW)
Each of the selected works allows us to hear the voices of women from the Global South, their struggles, and learnings. A careful edition that presents both national and regional perspectives, as well as different strategies and sensitivities to confront the phenomenon of GBV.
Marcela Huaita, Follow-up Mechanism to the Belém do Pará Convention (MESECVI/OAS Committee of Experts)
