Ă propos de ce livre
There has been an increase in testimonies from women politicians who have been targets of violence and from survivors of conflict-related sexual violence. The editors and contributors to of Gender and Violence against Political Actors seek to understandhow gender influences both physical and psychological forms of violence andhow sexual violence affects both men and women.
Chapters focus on theoretical approaches demonstrating how different disciplinary starting pointsâe.g., politics, violence and genderâgive rise to different lenses. Essaysexamine violence carried out during conflict and peacetime, and relate to the continuum of violenceâphysical, sexual, psychological, and online. In addition, six country case studies reveal how different types of political actors have been targets of violence. Gender and Violence against Political Actors ends by providing various approaches to responding to the problem of gendered violence in politics while also evaluating policy responses.
