Gender-based Violence

"Gender-based Violence" as a book category covers works that examine violence rooted in gendered power imbalances—physical, sexual, psychological, economic and structural forms such as intimate partner violence, sexual assault and harassment, femicide, forced marriage, trafficking, and harmful cultural practices. It includes survivor memoirs and testimonies, investigative journalism, legal and public‑health research, policy and advocacy guides, and fiction that centers these experiences to illuminate causes, consequences and routes toward accountability, healing and prevention. Books in this category typically engage intersectional factors (race, class, sexuality, disability, migration), span global and cultural contexts, and often carry content warnings because of explicit or traumatic subject matter; their purpose is as much to document and analyze as to educate, support survivors and push for social change.

    A Manifesto

    A fierce feminist manifesto that reframes seven traditionally condemned behaviors as necessary tools of resistance, blending memoir, reporting, and political analysis to challenge patriarchy, religious and social controls over women’s bodies and voices, and to urge women and girls worldwide to embrace transgressive courage and collective action to demand rights, dignity, and equality.
