Abstract

This report reflects on a transnational research initiative on gendered urban violence across borders. Beginning in 2016, this body of research comprising seven main projects with an additional three small ones, has explored the nature of and resistance to gendered violence among Brazilian migrant women in London in the United Kingdom (UK) and among women living in the favelas of Maré in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The research has explored how direct and indirect forms gendered violence are written on women’s bodies, but also in communities and in cities transnationally and through a multiscalar perspective that moves beyond understanding violence as an individualised act. In addition, the work
has examined how women have coped with and resisted gendered urban violence in individual and collective ways that reflect their roles as protagonists rather than victims.
