Gender-based violence has long been a concern for feminist scholars and activists.

“We Keep us Safe!”: Abolition Feminism as a Challenge to Carceral Feminist Responses to Gendered Violence Gender & Society (IF 7.2) Pub Date : 2024-07-27 Brittany Pearl Battle, Amber Joy Powell
The well-known movement chant “we keep us safe” disrupts carceral logics that deem policing—and the criminal punishment system more broadly—as sites of public safety and protection from violence and instead situates the source of safety within the community. Nevertheless, activist calls for community-centered alternatives to harm and violence occur alongside increasing backlash from media, legislators

Through interviews with 29 Asian American women tech workers, this article demonstrates how cultural frameworks around race and gender shape identity salience and construct a token process for workers with multiple subordinate identities.

The roots of charity: How Gendered Racialization Shapes Crowdfunding for Women and Girls Murdered by Gun Violence Gender & Society (IF 7.2) Pub Date : 2024-07-27 Catherine Burgess, Jennifer Carlson
The financial fallout of American gun violence profoundly impacts both victims and survivors.

The term vulnerability has become increasingly integral to humanitarian legislation, policies, discourse, and procedures in contexts of displacement. While people categorized as “vulnerable persons” are ostensibly entitled to specialized care, this categorization is widely used to divide people into those “legitimate” and “illegitimate” to receive basic rights and care.

Rape is a form of gender-based violence in which the line between coercion and consent is frequently blurred or contested. What happens when a court system broadens its definition of rape to include a broader range of coercive and potentially nonconsensual behaviors? In recent decades, South Korean courts have shifted the scope of coercion required for rape convictions, expanding from direct to indirect

The global sociology of W.E.B. Du Bois developed during the 1940s relies significantly on a collaborative relationship with African-American sociologist and anthropologist Irene Diggs (1906–1998).

What Happens when Gender Accountability is Reduced? The Experiences of Nonbinary and Genderfluid People During the COVID-19 Pandemic Gender & Society (IF 7.2) Pub Date : 2024-04-25 Amy L. Stone, Alexandra Gallin-Parisi
How does gender accountability vary? We theorize that reduced perceptions by others of one’s gender, or reduced external assessments of gender accountability, create more space for the cultivation of nonbinary subjectivities. We use the shelter-in-place period of the COVID-19 pandemic as a natural experiment during which major social institutions such as work and school changed and thus shifted gender
