Feminists Resisting Gendered Violence: Creative and Critical Responses

An anthology of feminist perspectives combining arts-based interventions with scholarship, activism, testimony, and lived experience to address contemporary gendered violence. At a time when gendered violence is intensifying, and even the language and mechanisms for addressing it are being constrained, this timely anthology foregrounds creative, critical, collective, and transnational responses built from the ground up. With a diverse group of contributors—artists, activists, scholars, and community organisers—the collection illuminates violence as legal and institutional, intimate and structural, historical and contemporary, visible and painfully ordinary. Through art, song, performance, archives, and digital practices, it renders legible forms of harm that are often marginalised or silenced in formal policy and legal discourse. In doing so, the collection questions what counts as justice and expands our repertoires of resistance precisely at a moment when such expansion is most needed. t highlights feminist collaboration across borders as a crucial resource for understanding and challenging violence in the present.
