Gender-based violence is a pervasive issue in the Anglophone Caribbean, with profound social, economic, and health consequences for individuals and communities. This book aims to shed light on the root causes of this violence and provide viable policy and programming solutions to prevent its perpetuation. Drawing on the expertise of a multidisciplinary team of Caribbean researchers and practitioners, the book explores the ways in which violence victimization and perpetration have been socially and institutionally shaped, and supported by fixed gender codes.
Key themes in the book include the institutional frameworks and structural inequalities that perpetuate gender-based violence, the role of the church both in perpetuating the problem and its potential to combat it, the role of law, access to justice, and governmental and non-governmental responses to gender-based violence. The book covers violence against women, but also explores women as perpetrators, men and boys as victims, and gender-based violence against young persons. It also demonstrates the ways in which gender-based violence can further marginalize already marginalized groups, such as members of the LGBTQ+ community or persons with disabilities.
Bridging the divide between academia, government, and civil society, this book challenges the normalization of gender-based violence in the Anglophone Caribbean and proposes viable, culturally relevant solutions for prevention. It will be of interest to researchers and practitioners working on issues related to gender, the Caribbean, global development, criminology, and human rights.
