Health Sociology Review
Call for papers: Global Healthcare Systems and Violence Against Women and Girls
Issue 2, 2024
Worldwide, it is estimated that approximately 30% of women have experienced violence (WHO 2021a) and that the prevalence of violence against women and girls increases significantly once broader social inequities are taken into account such as Indigeneity, disability, race and ethnicity, 2SLGBTIQ+ status, and age (WHO 2021b). Interaction with the healthcare system can provide an opportunity for a coordinated response to be enacted that provides critical care to women (Fitts et al., 2022). While there have been decades of advocacy for action to address the rates of violence against women, the breadth of minority and marginalised women’s experiences of accessing healthcare following violence are only gradually becoming known.
To explore this in greater detail at a global scale, the aim of this special issue is to assemble a collection of scholarly work that contributes to our understanding of minority and marginalised women’s access of healthcare following violence that have a potential to move our understanding of these issues forward theoretically, empirically, and practically. For the purpose of this special issue, violence against women and girls is defined as intimate partner violence, domestic violence, family violence and sexual violence (see Carlson, Day & Farrelly, 2021).
We welcome submissions that engage with women from Indigenous cultures, women and girls from the global South, women and girls living with disabilities as well as women from culturally and linguistically diverse and LGBTIQA+ communities. Contributions from various disciplines are welcome including health sociology, public health, human rights and criminology.
Potential areas for consideration include but are not limited to:
- The role of the health care system in the prevention from violence against women and girls
- Advancement of strategies, programs and interventions that identify and respond to violence against women and girls in various contexts, including programs, policy and supports that promote healing and recovery
- The association between violence, healthcare systems and women and girls with disability (including acquired through family violence)
- 2SLGBTIQ+ communities and intimate partner violence
- Violence against women and girls and associated pathways to prison
- Decolonising research methodologies and practice innovations in violence against women and girls research
- Research methodologies and practices that creatively facilitate the participation of girls who have experienced family violence
- Global healthcare policy innovations, challenges and limitations including those targeted at particular regions
