Gendered economic violence: analysis of the phenomenon and mitigation strategies

The book offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary analysis of the economic violence phenomenon as one of the most pervasive yet under-recognised forms of gender-based violence in contemporary societies. Moving beyond traditional interpretations that confine economic violence exclusively to the domestic sphere, the book develops a broader conceptual framework capable of identifying the structural, insti- tutional and socioeconomic mechanisms through which women’s financial autonomy is restricted throughout different dimensions of economic and social life.
