State violence against women

By Feminist Reading Room · 10 papers and links · 0 followers

Violence by or through the state: custodial and police violence, forced and coerced sterilisation, obstetric violence in public health systems, and state policy that leaves women unprotected.

Every paper here is peer-reviewed and free to read. Each one opens on the journal's site or an open repository in a new tab, because publishers do not let their papers be shown inside other websites.
