OPINION – Multiple dimensions of gender-based violence
Gender-based violence is neither homogeneous nor one-dimensional; rather, it is shaped and influenced by dimensions such as ethnicity, race, class, gender identity, age, disability, and territory, among others. These intersections can exacerbate or modify the nature, experience, and impact of this violence. We are witnessing an intensification of gender-based violence, a fact that motivates CLACSO to encourage research on this topic. To this end, it issues this Call for Proposals, inviting researchers to focus on the analysis of gender-based political violence against women leaders, activists, human rights defenders, and environmental activists, from a multidimensional perspective, with an emphasis on its connection to economic and symbolic violence. This multidimensional and intersectional approach is key to developing policies and strategies that consider diverse realities, thereby enriching practice with responses that promote more effective, just, and context-specific interventions.
It is in this sense that CLACSO launched the Research Call for teams “Multiple dimensions of gender-based violence”, which is part of the Platform for Social Dialogue Rights, Violence and Gender Equality and promotes the application of research teams made up of academics from diverse disciplines, trajectories and experiences, together with activists and representatives of social movements, public policy decision-makers and people with work and activities related to the topic.
They were opened 171 forms and were finally received 51 applications, which after the technical and formal review, were in a position to be qualitatively evaluated by the Committee to consider the quality, relevance and coherence of the proposals according to the Call.
The evaluation process was carried out by a Committee composed of 11 expertos/as: Rita Alves (Brasil), Alba Carosio (Venezuela), Patricio Dobreé (Paraguay), Ivonne Farah (Bolivia), Javier Gómez Aguilar (Bolivia),Gracia González (España), Marcia Leite (Brasil), Catalina Mendoza (Ecuador), Daniela Perrotta (Argentina), Natalia Quiroga (Colombia) y Jenny Torres (República Dominicana).
Following the evaluation, which recognized the excellent quality, relevance and rigor of most of the applications, 6 proposals were selected.
The list of selected proposals from the Call for Proposals is as follows:
