With contributions from a diverse array of international scholars, this edited volume offers a renewed understanding of gender-based violence (GBV) by examining its social and political dimensions in migration contexts. This book engages micro, meso, and macro levels of analysis by foregrounding a conceptualization of GBV that addresses both its interpersonal and structural causes. Chapters explore how GBV frameworks and migration management intersect, bringing to the forefront the specific inequalities these intersections produce for migrant women. Drawing upon several disciplines, the authors engage in co-writing a critical engagement which proposes an original understanding of how the concepts of intersectionality, vulnerability and precarity speak to each other from a feminist perspective. This volume will be of interest to scholars/researchers and policymakers in Gender Studies, Migration and Refugee Studies, Sociology, Political Science, Trauma Studies, Human Rights and Socio-Legal Studies. Jane Freedman is a Professor at the Universite of Paris 8 and Co-Director of the Paris Centre for Sociological and Political Research (CRESPPA).

Among her recent publications are the monograph Racialised Workers and European Older-Age Care (Palgrave, 2019) and the edited volume Border Across Healthcare (Berghahn Books, 2020). Evangelia Tastsoglou is a Professor of Sociology and Global Development Studies at Saint Marys University in Halifax, Canada.
