Gender-based violence is a major issue worldwide, with one in three women experiencing violence in their lifetime.
The Journal of Gender-Based Violence will give a voice to the experiences of survivors, and will explore the impact of intersectionality with other identities, such as ethnicity, nationality, sexuality, faith, disability and economic status.
The Journal aims to publish world-class research to aid understanding of gender-based violence, and to analyse the policy and activism surrounding it. Its articles will span the breadth of gender-based violence, including prostitution, domestic abuse, ‘honour’ killings and trafficking.
The GW4 Gender-Based Violence Network was originally formed through the GW4 Building Communities programme, and has since developed independently to continue collaborative research and networking.
The editors of the Journal of Gender-Based Violence are inviting interest from researchers working across the social sciences and related fields including social policy, sociology, politics, criminology, law, social psychology, development and economics, as well as disciplines allied to medicine, health and wellbeing.
