Agenda Call for papers: Gender Based Violence Trilogy
Agenda feminist journal invites abstracts and letters of interest for the fourth issue of 2005 which will focus on domestic violence. This issue forms the first in a trilogy on gender-based violence (GBV). Although gender equality is enshrined in the South African Constitution and the world has been witness to incredible policy initiatives on gender and GBV, women on the ground are yet to be affected by the progress made at political high level. Gender based violence is a violation of human rights and the GBV Trilogy will tackle it as such.
Agenda Call for papers: Gender Based Violence Trilogy
Agenda feminist journal invites abstracts and letters of interest for the
fourth issue of 2005 which will focus on domestic violence.
This issue forms the first in a trilogy on gender-based violence (GBV).
Although gender equality is enshrined in the South African Constitution and
the world has been witness to incredible policy initiatives on gender and
GBV, women on the ground are yet to be affected by the progress made at
political high level. Gender based violence is a violation of human rights
and the GBV Trilogy will tackle it as such.
The GBV Trilogy is to serve as both a public information sharing platform,
disseminating the debates, research and interventions around gender based
violence taking place in the academy and on the ground, and as a call to
action, mobilising support for the eradication of violence against women.
It is anticipated that the first issue on domestic violence will carry
articles including but not limited to:
Relationship violence
Family violence - committed by and on 'extended' family members
Incest
Sexual violence and rape within marriage/relationship
Female genital mutilation
Community violence - schools, workplace, indentured labour, sexual assault
on the streets
Boy and girl childhood socialisation
Masculinity studies and men as partners movement
Please email abstracts and/or overviews to [email protected] by 14 June
2005.
