This episode of the Gender Card comes at a crucial time, at the start of a global campaign of 16 days of activism against gender-based violence. The International Women's Development Agency is calling on us all to add our voices to this global movement by challenging attitudes that perpetuate, rationalise and normalise violence against women, and deny women's right to safety. Two Griffith University researchers—Phyu Phyu Oo and Tristan Russell—are doing groundbreaking work highlighting the dangers and discrimination that women face in two of our closest Asian neighbours—Myanmar and Thailand. Phyu Phyu Oo is investigating how structural violence and gender inequality is embedded in conflict-related sexual violence and how this prevents effective prosecution and prevention of these crimes. Tristan Russell's research explores gendered pathways to prison in Thailand, with violence against women being a prominent theme. Many of these women experience myriad abuses throughout their lifetime, ultimately leading to their incarceration.
