      abstract = {This edited book brings together the voices and insights  of survivors, practitioners, educators and researchers  working to prevent and minimise the harms of gender-based  violence, with a specific focus on equipping health  professionals and social workers to support  victim-survivors. Practitioners can, and often do, play a  critical role supporting victim-survivors of gender-based  violence; however, this work has historically been carried  out by those in specialist roles and there remains gaps and  inconsistencies in education and training for qualifying  and post-qualified professionals. This book makes a  valuable contribution to addressing these gaps. It provides  practitioners with a comprehensive resource on contemporary  debates and research in the field of gender-based violence.  To support readers' learning, each chapter contains  reflective exercises and draws clear links between  research, theory and practice. The book is structured into  four sections. The first section considers the 'rise' of  gender-based violence in policy and practice, and questions  to what extent this once marginalised perspective has  become embedded in health and social work training and  education. The second section of the book explores some of  the expressions, contexts and implications of gender-based  violence. Each chapter considers the role of health care  professionals and social workers and invites the reader to  reflect on their (potential) role in these areas. The third  section of the collection focuses on one of the most common  forms of gender-based violence that health and social work  professionals are likely to encounter: physical,  psychological, sexual and financial violence by an intimate  partner, who may also be a parent. Finally, the fourth  section showcases innovative responses to supporting  victim-survivors and challenging systems that contribute to  gender inequality. The intention of this book is to equip  health care professionals and social workers with critical,  practical and ethical resources to help them work with  victim-survivors and, where possible, engage in  transformative efforts to end the harms of gendered  inequalities and violence.},
