'This wide-ranging collection sensitively and expertly engages with and illuminates the fraught dilemmas at the intersection of gender, violence and religion that have become so important for both practice and theory.’ Sylvia Walby, Lancaster University, UK 'This book makes an important contribution to the body of knowledge on various cases of violence against black and minorities women in the UK and feminist activist responses and interventions to them. It includes contributions by some of the most important activists in the field and uses the cutting edge theoretical framing of Intersectionality and situated gaze feminist theories and the construction of violence against women as a continuum.’ Nira Yuval-Davis, University of East London, UK 'Collectively, Yasmin Rehman, Liz Kelly and Hannana Siddiqui have over 90 years experience of working on violence against women issues... In this book, the trio have successfully brought together contributions from an impressive list of activists and researchers. The result is a volume of work which seeks to enhance the reader’s understanding of key issues affecting Minority women and children experiencing violence within diverse communities within the UK... Overall, the book explores a number of core themes including the different kinds and forms of violence experienced by minority women; the continuum of violence; the role of faith, gender and communities in controlling women and girls and the intersection of race, class, gender and sexuality. Most importantly, the book provides suggestions for positive change to the lives of Minority women and children in the UK... The Publicity material for the book states that it provides a valuable resource for scholars, activists, social workers and policy makers. I would go further and say that this book should be read by every politician, police officer and judge as this will greatly assist in saving lives and creating justice.'
