Gender-based violence in higher education institutions in Cuba and Mexico
This article explores gender-based violence (GBV) in ten higher education institutions (HEIs) across Cuba and Mexico. Drawing on a literature review and primary data, this paper examines how GBV is experienced, perceived, and addressed within academic environments in both countries. The high level findings show that – despite formal commitments to gender equality by both governments and HEIs – limited awareness of institutional procedures among b…

What’s law got to do with it? Comparing the failure to deter or convict rapists in the United Kingdom and South Africa
The journey from reporting rape to convicting rapists is complex, leading to high attrition and non-conviction rates. After wide consultation, the law in England and Wales was revised in 2003 to try to secure more convictions. In South Africa, a similar process occurred to produce a new law in 2007. Nonetheless, reported rapes have risen and conviction rates have fallen in both jurisdictions and it has been suggested that the failure of the crimi…
Participation in Practice
In this article we critically reflect on 'feminist research methods' and 'methodology', from the perspective of a feminist research unit at a South African university, that explicitly aims to improve gender-based violence service provision and policy through evidence-based advocacy. Despite working within a complex and inequitable developing country context, where our feminist praxis is frequently pitted against seemingly intractable structural r…
Taking ‘A Count’ of Women in Prison
It goes without saying that the experiences of women, not to mention their pathways to incarceration, are remarkably different from those of men. Yet, policy reform and inmate advocacy initiatives
Re-entry problems
Re-entry into society after imprisonment is problematic. However, politically motivated prisoners can potentially draw on their collective solidarity and social legitimacy to smooth re-entry. That possibility is examined by focusing on ex-combatants in South Africa and Northern Ireland who organised against the state, but later came to support conflict transformation in a radically altered state. Re-entry was thus a two-way process where ex-priso…
Reclaiming the L-Word
I had erroneously assumed that the title Reclaiming The L-Word: Sappho's Daughters Out In Africa was just another loosely themed analogy with a catchy title. I anticipated another disjointed collec

Behind the screens
Domestic violence (DV) is one of the most pervasive forms of violence in South Africa with numerous physical and psychological consequences that have severe and enduring impacts on health. This takes a significant toll on women, their families and the health care system. Local and international literature suggests that DV is one of the most common reasons for women to present at health care facilities, placing health care practitioners in a uniqu…
Feminism vs . the State
South Africa's transition to a democratic state has been accompanied by an intensive focus on the use of the law as an instrument to address high levels of sexual assault as well as other social problems. Feminist legal scholars and activists have been involved in an ongoing critical engagement with government policy and law reform surrounding equality. Many leading feminists have questioned the extent to which the law can ever effectively deter …
Shelter in the Southern Cape
Few, if any, women in rural communities of the southern Cape, own a house or have any form of financial security due to economic and physical abuse. A cycle of poverty and violence has the potential to render benefits of land policy reform meaningless, writes LILLIAN ARTZ
