Common characteristics of gender-based violence align with characteristics involved in other more recognized forms of hate crime, such as targeting victims because of their race and/or religion and having a devastating impact on society. This session focuses on gender-based violence that is perpetrated primarily by men and disproportionately impacts women and girls. The presentations will examine male violence against women and girls (MVAWG) in two distinct world regions, represented by Ghana and Canada, with a focus on themes such as intimate partner violence, patriarchy, racism, and suicide.

Gender-based violence (GBV) is a global social problem, but it is more pronounced in many countries in the global south. Although rooted in socio-economic and gender inequities, several factors relating to weak implementation of domestic violence laws and lack of professional help contribute to entrenching GBV against marginalized populations. This session will accept papers that focus on the intersections of socio-economic, political, and cultural factors influencing GBV in the global south. Specifically, we seek studies that demonstrate how expectations of femininity and masculinity contribute to GBV, how weak implementation of domestic violence laws and lack of professional help legitimize GBV, and how the socio-economic factors and lineage identities shape the experiences of survivors of GBV. Consistent with the theme of the conference, we are equally open to papers that examine local resistances to GBV.

It can be argued that victim experience has re-emerged to enhance how we understand violent and/or victimizing events and our responses to them. In this session we seek papers that examine violence and aggression in all forms, from varied perspectives including, but not limited to, those of the victim(s), the offender(s), witnesses, the social context(s) in which violence occurs, reactions to norm violations from both formal (governments, police, courts, etc.) and informal systems, recovery and resilience, and prevention. Papers in this session are featured from multiple disciplines that examine harms and their effects, including papers that seek to re-imagine alternatives to how we identify and respond to violence.
