Description
What role does physical and virtual space play in gender-based violence (GBV)? Experts from the Global North and South use wide-ranging case studies - from public harassment in India and Kenya to the role of Twitter users in women's harassment - to examine how spaces can facilitate or prevent GBV and showcase strategies for prevention and intervention from women and LGBTQ+ people. Students and academics from a range of disciplines will discover how existing research connects with practice and policy developments, the current gaps in research and a future agenda for GBV studies.

Reviews"This rich collection takes an intersectional approach to the continuum of gender-based violence (GBV) across international settings and types of spaces. These fresh perspectives will inspire researchers and students to reflect anew on the spatialities of GBV." Avril Maddrell, University of Reading
