Disability and violence are global human rights issues that cut across gender, race, geographical, religious, socio-economic status and cultural boundaries. They can be viewed as socially produced and culturally constructed, and can manifest at different or multiple, generational locations over a person’s life-course (childhood, youth, adulthood and older age). Disability and violence have a bi-directional causal relationship in that the onset of impairment can be caused by being exposed to violence, or violent actions by a perpetrator can be stimulated by a victim’s impairment.
This ground-breaking book brings together interdisciplinary and global perspectives of violence and protection (from researchers, practitioners and survivors), to take a life-course approach to exploring these issues in relation to disabled females in childhood, adulthood and older life. Through showing the institutions, policies, practices and relations that interact with these issues and operate within each generational category, stories of resistance and resilience, and moments of agency that contribute to positive change in the lives of disabled females at different points in their lives are revealed.
It will be an invaluable resource for students and practitioners of multiple fields of practice and academic studies, including health and social care, nursing, social work, childhood studies, gender studies, disability studies, safeguarding and child protection, equality and human rights, sociology and criminology.
