Sexual Politics of Gendered Violence and Women's Citizenship
"This book shines a light on the ugly underbelly of patriarchal society, exposing the violence that negates women's citizenship and freedom. The writers and editors are to be congratulated for this addition to published literature - and hence to our understanding - of a system that facilitates violence." Margaret Alston, Monash University
The challenge of violence against women should be recognised as an issue for the state, citizenship and the whole community. This book examines how responses by the state sanction violence against women and shape a woman’s citizenship long after she has escaped from a violent partner. Les mer
Drawing from a long-term study of women’s lives in Australia, it investigates the effects of intimate partner violence on everyday life including housing, employment, mental health and social participation and offers critical insights for the development of social policy and practice.
