What role does physical and virtual space play in gender-based violence (GBV)? Experts from the Global North and South use wide-ranging case studies – from public harassment in India and Kenya to the role of Twitter users in women’s harassment – to examine how spaces can facilitate or prevent GBV and showcase strategies for prevention and intervention from women and LGBTQ+ people.
Students and academics from a range of disciplines will discover how existing research connects with practice and policy developments, the current gaps in research and a future agenda for GBV studies.
Introduction Victims of gender-based violence (GBV) who are non-citizens of the United States may seek lawful immigration statuses through legal pathways to escape abuses and receive services in the United States. Immigration/non-citizen status refers to a foreign-born individual’s permission to lawfully reside in the United States. A non-citizen’s status can be limited by the amount of time they are permitted to be in the United States, the type of work they are and are not allowed to engage in, who they are able to marry, and what activities (such as
places as there is a disregard for space, place and time. Gender-based violence (GBV) is a form of violence that includes physical, sexual, verbal, emotional and psychological abuse, as well as threats, coercion, and economic and educational deprivation. This violence is directed at persons based on their biological sex or gender identity and can occur in both public and private aspects of one’s life ( Ott, 2021 ).

PART I Gender- Based Violence in Urban and Community Spaces
Gender-based violence (GBV) can take many forms and have detrimental effects across generations and cultures. The triangulation of GBV, rurality and rural culture is a challenging and essential topic and this edited collection provides an innovative analysis of GBV in rural communities.
Focusing on under-studied and/or oppressed groups such as immigrants and LGBT+ people, the book explores new theories on patterns of violence. Giving insights into GBV education and prevention, the text introduces community justice and victim advocacy approaches to tackling issues of GBV in rural areas. From policy review into actionable change, the editors examine best practices to positively affect the lives of survivors.

Gender-based violence (GBV) takes many forms, including direct physical, psychological, emotional and economic abuse, and indirect abuses such as intentional gender blindness. These actions, or inactions, can have detrimental effects across generations and cultures. The triangulation of GBV, rurality and rural culture has become a challenging, yet essential, topic. The discussion on rural crime is also timely and urgent when considering most criminological theories in the Western world focus on urban settings. Since the definition of rural and rurality differs
The previous chapter makes it clear that the Internet and communications technology have become important frontiers in the struggle against gender-based violence. Discussing, in particular, the everyday lived experience of violence against women online, it illustrated the extent to which online gender-based violence has been normalized as well as the direct linkages between online violence, offline harms, and intertwined structures of oppression based on patriarchy, Global North–South divides, and other social hierarchies. While Chapter 3 offered insight
