This Special Issue presents cutting edge interdisciplinary and international research on gender and sexual violence and new challenges to sexual violence in the form of rape culture and lad culture.
Perspectives
This special issue brings together a range of critical feminist scholarship to explore challenges to gender and sexual violence; in my own co-authored chapter the role of digital media in providing opportunities for women to connect and collectivise around feminist resistance is showcased offering new hope for feminist solidarity and activism generated through digital platforms and social media networks.
