Simultaneously, critical feminist approaches to the intersections of different forms of violence and health are rare in Global Health (GH) literature. Bringing together feminist PR and GH scholarships, this edited book aims to enrich both scholarly traditions. On the one hand, the book provides perspectives from PR that help us to understand better and analyse different forms of violence in the gendered realm of global health. On the other hand, the variety of empirical cases analysed in the chapters widens the horizons of PR, in its understanding of what it means to study violence, peace, and justice in everyday lives. The themes dealt in the chapters of the book vary from questions of reproductive health, to non-communicable (e.g. breast cancer) and communicable diseases (HIV/AIDS, malaria), mental health, the relationship between religious beliefs and health, domestic violence, sex trafficking, and ageing and dementia. This text will help students and researchers alike navigate Global Health through a feminist lens. 650 0 $a Women $x Health and hygiene. 650 0 $a Women $x Violence against. 650 0 $a Human security $x Health aspects. 650 0 $a World health. 650 0 $a Women and peace. 650 0 $a Women $x Diseases. 700 1 $a Vaittinen, Tiina, $e editor. 700 1 $a Confortini, Catia Cecilia, $e editor. 830 0 $a Feminist studies on peace, justice and violence. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103014403.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=66C3DF0C74A711EA8EBE956E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
