This volume illustrates how the adoption of discourse approaches can cast light on the complex and often subtle ways in which gender-based violence (GBV) discursively operates. The focus is on careful theorisations and empirical contributions that foreground GVB as a human rights violation motivated by the gender of the targeted community. The chapters are premised on the belief that the hierarchical social arrangements that are inherent to GVB are symbolically realised through language use. While resonating with previous feminist discourse scholarship, the book explicitly focuses on the theme of GVB. It intends to be a valuable resource for language and gender researchers, and for organisations willing to prevent and respond to GVB.
