An anthology of feminist perspectives combining arts-based interventions with scholarship, activism, testimony, and lived experience to address contemporary gendered violence. At a time when gendered violence is intensifying, and even the language and mechanisms for addressing it are being constrained, this timely anthology foregrounds creative, critical, collective, and transnational responses built from the ground up. Across essays, artworks, testimonies, and reflections by a diverse group of contributors—artists, activists, scholars, and community organisers—the collection illuminates violence as legal and institutional, intimate and structural, historical and contemporary, visible and painfully ordinary. Through art, song, performance, archives, and digital practices, it renders legible forms of harm that are often marginalised or silenced in formal policy and legal discourse. In doing so, the collection redefines what counts as evidence, resistance, and justice precisely at a moment when such expansion is most needed. Going beyond documentation, it invites readers to think urgently and expansively about how gendered violence is locally named, remembered, resisted, and transformed. Offering both insight and inspiration, it highlights feminist collaboration across borders as a crucial resource for understanding and challenging violence in the present.
