As the global movement to end all forms of violence against women and girls (VAWG) gathers steam, this thought-provoking new work offers a novel theoretical framework to understand gendered violence across diverse countries and contexts. Global Perspectives on Violence against Women and Girls delves into VAWG in the United Kingdom and across the global South, featuring case studies from India, Pakistan, and South Sudan. By examining a range of violence, including harmful cultural practices such as female genital mutilation (FGM), early child marriage, dowry and bride price-related harassment, stranger rape, work-based harassment, intimate partner violence, and other forms of domestic violence, this essential volume crafts a unique critical lens by integrating the ecology model, intersectional approach, and a spectrum designed to identify the various manifestations of VAWG within a specific context. Advocating for a deeper understanding of the local political and cultural environments where VAWG thrives, Global Perspectives on Violence against Women and Girls stands as one of the few works to accord significant attention to local women's organizations in the global South and beyond, arguing that they must ultimately take the lead in ending VAWG. In a pivotal moment in the fight against violent misogyny, this volume makes a substantial and timely contribution to the ultimate objective of eradicating VAWG.
