This track addresses the global pandemic of violence against women which includes rape, human trafficking, “honor” killings, domestic violence, and child/forced marriage. A framework that conceptualizes women and their sexuality as commodities will be developed to understand how the marketplace contributes to and can attenuate the perpetuation of this violence.
