The present interdisciplinary book explores the unique situation of girls located at the intersection of childhood and femalehood as they experience gender-based violence. While girl children are often placed under the umbrella of womanhood, their location at the intersection of femalehood and childhood places them in a unique position with regards to various forms of exploitation and violence. Feminist theories, including feminist legal theory, provide pertinent avenues to explore girls’ positionalities, yet girl children should also be contextualized in relation to their current lived experiences. This volume examines legal and socio-cultural factors impacting girl children and reveals the relationship between societal perceptions of girlhood and gender-based violence. It contextualizes violence against girl children within different socio-economic and cultural environments, and explores legal, social and economic avenues to address gender-based violence predominantly or specifically experienced by girl children. In so doing, it contributes to the theorization of girls’ studies as it intersects with gender-based violence.
