Challenging reproductive control and gendered violence in the Americas: intersectionality, power, and struggles for rights

'Challenging Reproductive Control and Violence in the Americas' utilises an intersectional approach to analyse reproductive and gendered violence against women in the Americas and the role of feminist activism through case studies including the current state of reproductive justice in Texas, feminicides in Latin America, awareness raising about Ni Una Más and anti-feminicidal activism in Ciudad Juárez, and reproductive rights in Latin America amidst the Zika virus.

Each of these contemporary contexts provides new insights into the relationships between and among feminist activism; reproductive health; the role of the state, local governments, health organisations, and the media; and the women of colour who are affected by the interplay of these discourses, mandates, and activist efforts.
