“Building the Plane as We Fly It”
This article examines how gendered institutional arrangements in Australian sport shape the reporting of gender‐based violence (GBV) against adult women and gender‐diverse people. Using feminist institutionalism, we analyze the formal and informal rules that structure sport integrity systems and the gendered power relations they reproduce. Drawing on semi‐structured interviews with 18 policy administrators and integrity staff, we show how GBV is …
Policy responses to reports of gender-based violence against women by Australian sporting organisations and best-practice principles
Gender-based violence (GBV) against women remains a persistent issue in Australian sport. The safety of sport participants, known as safeguarding and member protection within sport integrity policy in Australia, is increasingly recognised as a priority for government, violence prevention and response services and sports organisations. Best practice in responding to reports of GBV against women in sport is poorly understood with no overarching pri…
The System Can't Cope’
Alcohol and other drug (AOD)‐facilitated sexual violence can have significant impacts on victim‐survivors, yet little is known about what support service providers offer them. To understand the experiences and perceptions of service providers, interviews with counsellors, health workers, forensic toxicologists and harm reduction workers were conducted. Two themes were generated, theme one: ‘The hidden contexts of AOD‐facilitated sexual violence’ …
A Scoping Review of Global Literature on Alcohol and Other Drug-Facilitated Sexual Violence
The use of alcohol or other drugs to facilitate sexual violence (AOD-facilitated sexual violence) is a public health concern. There are significant gaps in knowledge on victimization, perpetration, contexts, impacts, and attitudes. Using a scoping review method, we mapped existing peer-reviewed, global literature to examine what is known about AOD-facilitated sexual violence to inform the development of AOD-facilitated sexual violence targeted in…
Voluntary Group Programs For Men Who Use Violence
Intimate partner violence remains a pervasive issue globally, affecting individuals, families, and communities at alarming rates. While interventions have traditionally focused on supporting victims and survivors, including court-mandated behavioral change programs for men who perpetrate violence, there is a growing need to explore voluntary programs for men who use violence. This reflects a broader shift toward prevention, education, and support…
Mega-sport events, gender equity, and sport legacy planning
Mega-sporting event legacies have attracted academic interest and examination over the last two decades. The development of legacy plans has become central to sport event bidding, acting as a means of prioritizing outcomes by governing bodies and host governments. Through legacy plans, mega-sport events ‘perform’ as catalysts for change throughout various phases. Drawing on an appraisal of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games official l…
Alcohol and Drug Facilitated Sexual Violence
This article presents a study exploring the prevention of alcohol and drug (AOD)-facilitated sexual violence. A participatory action research/appreciative inquiry method, World Café Forum, was used to take a multi-stakeholder approach to explore prevention initiatives. Thirty-two individuals from 14 stakeholder organizations attended. Analysis established five recurring themes, overlayed by power imbalances: education and training; policy-led ini…
Women’s Experiences of Gender-Based Interpersonal Violence in Sport
Violence against women in sport is pervasive. Prevalence rates of interpersonal violence range from 26% to 74% across psychological, physical, and sexual violence. This review synthesizes adult women’s experiences of gender-based interpersonal violence in sport. A systematic review of qualitative studies was conducted. Five databases were searched, including CINAHL, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, PsycINFO, and Sociological Abstracts. In total, 1,61…
I’ll Try and Make Myself as Small as Possible
Public transport is a known hotspot for sexual violence and harassment. Through 41 interviews with women and gender-diverse people who have experienced sexual violence and harassment on public transport, we found that women and gender-diverse people engage in extensive “safety work,” such as changing their behavior, strategizing, and planning. Safety work takes considerable time and effort, often leaving participants feeling stressed. However, pa…
Drawing upon the evidence to develop a multiagency risk assessment and risk management framework for domestic violence
Domestic violence poses a threat to the health, safety and wellbeing of women internationally and is associated with a range of physical injuries, chronic mental and physical health issues and death. In recognition of the serious consequences and to guide the allocation of resources, multiple countries have invested in efforts to measure domestic violence risk. This study aimed to determine whether there was an existing validated risk assessment …

Women's use of sport as identity-work in managing mental health and trauma
Interventions in Health Settings for Male Perpetrators or Victims of Intimate Partner Violence
BACKGROUND: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is common in patients attending health-care services and is associated with a range of health problems. The majority of IPV perpetrators are men, and a substantial minority of men are victims, yet health-care professionals have little evidence or guidance on how to respond to male patients who perpetrate or experience violence in their intimate relationships. METHODS: We conducted a systematic review to…
I’m Not a Vet!” Marginalisation and Practices of Resistance to Ageing by Women Hockey Players
Participation in team sports constitutes both a site for perpetuating discriminatory cultural perceptions of ageing women as well as a means of resisting and challenging such perceptions. Using Markula’s framework of Foucauldian feminism, we examine the marginalisation of women who play hockey in Australia and their acts of resistance against discriminatory processes related to ageing. This analysis draws on an ethnographic study of an Australian…
Hockey becomes like a family in itself
The community-based sports club is often recognised as a key site for the development of social capital. Intergenerational ties and connections to place can generate a strong sense of identity and can foster practices of psychological and material support. In this sense, community sports clubs can also be seen as an extension of the family. We examine social capital and Ray Pahl's 'personal communities' through an ethnographic study of women hock…
