Thinking about Gender and Violence in Migration: An Introduction

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Gender-Based Violence in Migration

Abstract

The introduction to this volume presents the key questions around gender-based violence in migration contexts to which the eight chapters of the volume seek to provide empirical and theoretical answers. The introduction equally clarifies the conceptual underpinnings and scholarly anchorage of the volume by defining the notion of gender-based violence and reviewing existing literature on the various forms of GBV occurrences in the context of migration. The introduction then sketches out the theoretical framework of the volume. For this purpose, it presents the main tenets of a feminist intersectional approach to GBV in migration settings and examines the relevance of the notions of precarity, precariousness and vulnerability from this perspective. Finally, the introduction lays out the structure of the book and foregrounds the main contributions of each chapter.
