Making the experience of violence of vulnerable persons and groups visible: Gender-based violence in focus
Gender-based violence is an everyday phenomenon that occurs regardless of origin, education or income. Research findings on exposure to violence show that certain vulnerable groups remain structurally excluded from protection and support. Furthermore, it becomes clear that circumstances that promote injuries and can serve as a basis for acts of violence are themselves to be considered forms of violence.
This anthology is based on current research findings and an engagement with queer feminist theories. It addresses the question of how the vulnerability of marginalised people and the exclusions they face can be made visible and what measures need to be taken to offer these groups protection free of discrimination.
The contributions in this book are aimed at those affected as well as students, teachers, practitioners and researchers who are willing to discuss, reflect on and gradually integrate current ways of working into practice and education.
