This edited book centres the experiences of groups and individuals who have historically received little attention in the broader framing of victimology, victims movements and wider society. With a mainstream political discourse underpinned by conceptions of deservingness and idealised constructions of victimhood, many groups and individuals— including sex workers, non-human animals, sexual minorities, families of the convicted, and people from working-class communities are marginalised from important debates. This book provides an intersectional examination of victimisation with a discussion of new and existing forms of victimisation linking to theories. It has four themed sections on: hidden violence and abuse, co-victims and retraumatization, recognizing and restoring hidden and unrecognized victims and non-human victims. It supports the need for greater recognition and understanding of these groups, the ethical implications of current and future policy and practice, and innovations in theory and conceptual debates. It speaks to the disciplines of Sociology, Criminology, and Social Work, and for anyone who works with victims in practice.

Her work bridges feminist, anti-racist, and decolonial scholarship with grassroots activism, focusing on marginalised voices and structural inequality. Hind’s research interrogates the politics of recognition, epistemic injustice, and the silencing of minoritised communities—particularly Muslim women, and survivors of institutional harm. Hind’s activism includes a landmark legal case in Egypt that led to changes in family law, securing recognition for single mothers and children born outside wedlock.
