‘Pushed away at the door’
Strengthening the US National Plan to End Gender-Based Violence
The 2023 publication of the first US National Action Plan (NAP) on Gender-Based Violence (GBV), promising an approach grounded in civil and human rights, is a momentous step. Despite ambitious objectives for responding to GBV, the NAP largely evades the empirical evidence that most perpetrators are men and boys. I contend that its prevention goals are undermined by lost opportunities to interrogate patriarchal masculinities. By examining US data …

Challenging the “Prostitution Problem”
Prostitution in (and out of) policy on violence against women and girls in the UK
The extent to which prostitution is addressed in Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) policy in the UK varies by nation, region and local area. Current Westminster government policy frames prostitution in terms of associated harm and exploitation, not as harm and exploitation, in sharp contrast to Scotland and some local areas. This short article extends Liz Kelly's (1988) continuum of violence against women to prostitution, drawing on definit…
Prostitution, Harm and Gender Inequality
Joining the dots on sexual exploitation of children and women
A combination of high profile cases, enquiries and a steadily building research evidence base has seen sexual exploitation of children (CSE) gain prominence and urgency as a policy issue in the UK. This has followed a paradigm shift that frames CSE as a form of abuse and distanced it from exploitation through prostitution and the sex industry. In turn this has resulted in a focus on the vulnerability of individual young people rather than structu…
It's like going through the abuse again’
Domestic violence is the most common welfare issue raised in private law contact proceedings. A wide range of studies has shown that judicial decisions about contact which fail to take safety into account endanger women and children physically and emotionally. Yet a presumption that contact is in the best interests of the child, combined with an increasing focus on fathers' rights, casts long shadows over legal judgments, policy frameworks and in…
Definitions, discourses and dilemmas
While debates around sexualisation are underway in academic, policy, practitioner and popular contexts, there are tensions as well as connections across and within these arenas. This article traces the origins of policymakers' engagement with sexualisation and reflects on the conclusions from the recent reviews commissioned by the current and former Westminster governments, including links with strategic responses to violence against women and gi…
Roads to Nowhere? Mapping Violence Against Women Services
This article reports on two separate research projects that use mapping techniques, specifically Geographic Information Systems (GIS), to assess the spatial characteristics of access to specialized support services for women who have experienced domestic/sexual violence, female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C), and sexual exploitation. In the first project, maps document the location of specialized violence against women (VAW) services across n…
Selling sex sells
Glamour modelling and the marketing of self-sexualization
This article explores glamour modelling and the surrounding discourses of empowerment and objectification through the lens of iconic UK model Jordan (aka Katie Price), who became famous as a glamour model, and particularly for the size of her surgically enhanced breasts. We include analysis of recent UK television documentaries on glamour modelling — Glamour Girls and Page Three Teens to illustrate current debates about objectification and agency…
Lads’ Mags, Young Men’s Attitudes towards women and acceptance of myths about sexual aggression
This commentary is a precursor to a forthcoming study exploring young men’s consumption of ‘lads’ mags’ – lifestyle magazines aimed at young men that feature young women in sexualized poses – specifically, their implications for men’s attitudes towards women and sexual aggression. Here we give an overview of existing research that has informed our research questions, in order to initiate discussions about the impacts of lads’ mags on male readers…
This body which is not mine
This paper explores women's accounts of prostitution in terms of the lived experience of the body, drawing on life story narratives and arts images created by women in the sex industry. These narratives show that women's experiences of prostitution constitute a spectrum of (dis)embodiment that is inflected, not determined, by settings and contexts. Theoretical approaches to embodiment were sought that acknowledged tensions between violation and a…
Young Women, Local Authority Care and Selling Sex
Researchers, practitioners and policy makers have noted the disproportionate number of young women with backgrounds of local authority care who are involved in commercial sex. However, the lack of knowledge about why this occurs means that there is little evidence with which to develop interventions. This article describes research that explored young women’s routes into the sex industry from local authority care using a feminist participatory ac…
This Morning I’m A Researcher, This Afternoon I’m An Outreach Worker
The paper discusses the ethical dilemmas of conducting feminist participatory action research (O'Neill, M., 2001 O'Neill, M. 2001. Prostitution and Feminism, Cambridge: Polity Press. [Google Scholar]) on the links between local authority care and routes into selling sex whilst I was working for an outreach service for women in the sex industry. All of the women who participated in the research were women who were users of the service. As such the…
