Journal of Gender-Based Violence
The Journal of Gender-Based Violence acknowledges both the breadth of gender-based violence (GBV) and its links to gendered inequalities. It aims to document the voices and experiences of victims and survivors of GBV, to publish work regarding those who perpetrate GBV and of the varied and complex social structures, inequalities and gender norms through which GBV is produced and sustained.
Special issue preview: Digital Technologies and Gender Based Violence - Mechanisms for oppression, activism and recovery
Guest edited by Professor Christine Barter (Connect Centre, University of Central Lancashire, UK) and Dr Sanna Koulu, (Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, Finland).
Gender Based Violence (GBV), including domestic violence and abuse, interconnects with digital technology in complicated ways. In this special issue, mainly based on papers from the European Conference on Domestic Abuse (ECDV) 2019, we examine digital technology as an emerging infrastructure that allows for new forms of interactions, new environments and opportunities for diverse communities of GBV survivors to connect. The papers included in this special issue comment on this shifting GBV digital landscape from different perspectives and disciplines. Contributions reflect on survivor’s individual experiences of digital technology as a mechanism to exert control, extending and strengthen intimate terrorism while others examine how digital technologies sustain and expand the intersection of interpersonal, cultural and structural forms of GBV. Digital technology also offers the potential for resistance and recovery, critically explored in contributions examining the use of digital technology to provide remote support for GBV survivors, apps for increasing women’s safety and remote delivery of perpetrator programmes as well as proving a platform for survivor-led transformative campaigns and support. However, issues of digital inequality, risk and protectionist attitudes, especially in relation to young people, are also highlighted by contributors. In the two years since the last ECDV conference, we have seen the world change in unprecedented ways, making this special issue on digital technologies and GBV even more pertinent.
Access pre-prints from our upcoming special issue for free until 30 September.
