Tourism and Gender-Based Violence: Challenging Inequalities is a new book edited by Dr Paola Vizcaino (Bournemouth University, UK), Dr Heather Jeffrey (Middlesex University – Dubai) and Dr Claudia Eger (Copenhagen Business School). Published by CABI in August 2020, this is one of the first edited collections that focuses on the multiple and interconnected manifestations of violence that women and girls encounter in tourism consumption and production. The book adopts a multidisciplinary perspective in its critical examination of the theoretical landscape of GBV, and its engagement with case studies on GBV and sexual harassment. It draws on feminist, intersectional and post-colonial frameworks, bringing together contributions from academics and practitioners across the globe.
