RT Book,_Section T1 Rural Gender Violence A1 Pallarés Ameneiro, Laura A1 Santos Solla, Xosé Manuel A2 Shaw, Susan M. A2 Santos Solla, Xosé Manuel A2 Mayilsamy, Jayamala A2 Pallarés Ameneiro, Laura A2 Rosaline, Zenetta A2 Lockhart, Janet AB In this chapter about violence against women, girls, and LGBTQIA+ people in rural spaces, we first consider how the definition of a rural area differs among governments, NGOs, and other entities; complicating understanding of the issue and development of initiatives to resist violence. We then examine the extent of the problem of violence against women and other gender minorities in rural spaces and look at some of the specific forms of violence enacted against them. Finally, we review some programs and initiatives to end violence against rural women and consider what strategies and resources might still be needed.
