Expanding Our Horizons:
Understanding the Complexities of Violence Against Women
Meaning • Cultures • Difference
18-22 February 2002, Sydney, Australia
This conference aimed to extend our understandings of the complexities of violence against women by drawing on the experiences of scholars, practitioners and activists from around the world with reference to the context in which they work.
The conference offered the opportunity to reflect on what is shared by women internationally as they seek to challenge the violence they experience. Violence against women is a global problem but it takes many different forms and is shaped by both local context and international developments (such as economic development, migration, labour markets, armed conflict). The sub-title Meanings, Cultures, Difference seeks to challenge singular approaches to theory, policy or practice that are unreflective about the differences between and among women.
The conference aimed to encourage debate, facilitate the sharing of information about innovative practices and foster the development of international networks among participants. It provided the opportunity to showcase innovative Australian research and practices.
The conference convenors wish to acknowledge and thank the presenters who have kindly supplied copies of their paper and agreed to have them published on the World Wide Web.
All papers received have been included on the website. The website will be updated as further papers are provided by presenters.
