Despite considerable progress toward structural and institutional gender equality in many parts of the world, gender-based violence remains one of the most notable and persistent forms of human rights violations globally. In this module, students will explore the nature and impact of different forms of gender-based violence (e.g., domestic violence, sexual violence, digital violence and femicide); consider the different contexts, times, spaces, and places in which gender-based violence occurs; and critically examine criminal justice responses to this violence, including the effectiveness of legal, policy and practice approaches, their ability to meet victim-survivors’ needs, and their propensity to cause further harm. The module will equip students with an in-depth working knowledge of relevant feminist theory, critical theories of masculinities, and intersectional approaches, while also emphasising the importance of centring victim-survivors’ voices, experiences, and perceptions of gender-based violence to better inform criminal justice responses. Upon successful completion of this module, students will be able to critically consider the nature and impact of gender-based violence and articulate feminist critiques of contemporary global criminal justice responses to gender-based violence.
