The aims of the project are:

  • To apply multidisciplinary research to look at legal, socio-cultural and performative aspects of the construction of gender and violence against women.
  • To explore the notions of gendered citizenship, and commodification of women in everyday life along with issues of socialization in a globalized world.
  • To critique the role of media, fashion, film and television as aggressive market strategies of commodification.
  • To look at sex trafficking, pornography, sexual abuse and issues of rescue and empowerment.
