The politics, protest and mobilisations against gender-based violence

Abstract

This panel addresses social movements and social projects and activism organised around resistance and various forms of protests against gender-based violence, including feminist organising, and intersectional alliances and coalitions across inequalities and domains, e.g., across gender, ethnicity and sexuality, and across civil society, polity and knowledge production. While in the 1990s, the transnational feminist movement succeeded in conceptualising gender violence as a violation of women's human rights grounded in unequal power relations between men and women, we are now witnessing a development with localised and fragmented movements, online and offline. The panel also welcomes papers specifically addressing violence as opposition to gender equality, and the feminist, intersectional, and coalitional resistance to that development.
