Description: This edited volume represents a joint effort by international experts to analyze the prevalence and nature of gender - based domestic violence across the globe and how it is dealt with at both national and international levels. With studies being conducted in 20 different countries and 4 distinct regions the contributors to this volume shed light on the ways in which contextual particularities shape the practices and strategies of addressing the socio - cultural and legal problem of gender - based domestic violence in the countries or regions where they do research. Special attention is devoted to developing countries where there is a lack of a consistent legal definition of gender - based domestic violence and where violence against women is widely considered a private matter. The authors of the chapters share a common goal of raising public awareness of the significance in nuanced local experiences of women and other individuals from gender and sexual minority groups facing gender - based violence. Furthermore the authors attend analytically to the newly emerging overlapping influences of Covid - 19 and global warming. Their research findings acknowledge and provide a detailed account of how the two ecological and socio - economic crises can combine to produce economic devastation disconnect victims from necessary social services and assistance and create a large degree of panic and uncertainty. In addition they intend to offer insights into next steps to not only adjust existing public policies legislation and social services to the ever - changing national and global contexts but also to make new ones. The book is intended for a wide range of scholars (both professors and students) and practitioners in a large number of areas including but not limited to criminal justice criminology law human rights social justice social work nursing sociology and political or public affairs.
