Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to present findings from the Trans Mental Health Study (McNeil et al., 2012) – the largest survey of the UK trans population to date and the first to explore trans mental health and well-being within a UK context. Findings around suicidal ideation and suicide attempt are presented and the impact of gender dysp...
It is well known that victims of intimate partner violence experience numerous barriers to leaving abusive relationships. For ethnic minority and immigrant women these barriers are significantly exacerbated. This metasynthesis explored barriers to help-seeking as experienced by Black, Asian, minority ethnic and immigrant women with experience of in...
Although the term ‘gender-based violence’ (GBV) is often used synonymously with the phrase ‘violence against women and girls’ (VAWG), in actuality the term describes either violence that is enacted against a person because their gender or violence that affects persons of a particular gender disproportionately. In questioning the gender assigned to...
Coercive control has been shown to be far more damaging for victims psychologically than physical violence. Linked to this, domestic violence perpetrators are increasingly turning to the online world to enact control and abuse. Women are most likely to be killed once they have separated from their abusers, and perpetrators harness the online realm...
Intimate partner violence causes significant, long-lasting harm to almost one-third (27%) of the world’s population of women. Even when women leave abusive relationships, some men continue to exercise control over their ex-partners through psychological control, threats, violence, stalking, and other forms of harassment. In this qualitative study,...
Trans Without Abuse: Gender-Based Violence in the Trans Community
Trans and non-binary people’s experiences of gender-based violence continues to be overlooked across policy, research, commissioning, and services. The following research - commissioned by domestic violence charity, My CWA (formerly Cheshire Without Abuse) – aims to address this gap...
Trans and non-binary survivors do not experience equal access to safety and support in the domestic abuse sector, and existing services are not adequately equipped to respond to the unique needs of this community. Trans* survivors’ risk being turned away at the point of access, or else may experience further abuse and trauma on account of their Tra...
Tradicionalmente, la Criminología y la Victimología han tratado a la persona como infractor o víctima; sin embargo, una proporción significativa de individuos podría tener los dos tipos de experiencia en un período relativamente corto de tiempo. Este artículo reporta los resultados de una revisión sistemática (scoping review) de los estudios que ab...
This small scoping exercise was commissioned by The Resilient Women Programme (RWP) based at CoLab, Exeter.
This research aimed to comprehensively analyse memorialisation practices in the UK, past and present, subjecting this to some international comparison, in order to inform understanding of:
• the significance of memorials and memorialising processes today and throughout history and their relative significance at different points in time;
• the purp...
Whilst there is a growing body of research exploring trans identities and lives, the studies have, without exception, focused on transgenderism as it is experienced, embodied and expressed ‘in life’. This study – focusing on trans identities during the course of memorialisation – is the first research of its kind to explore what happens to trans id...
Background
In terms of morbidity and mortality, cancer remains one of the UK’s biggest health problems. Because of this, there has been considerable focus from policymakers and charitable bodies alike on raising awareness of cancer symptoms among the lay-public. Whilst awareness of symptoms for different cancers does seem to have filtered through t...
Due to perceived non-conformity to conventional constructions of gender, trans people may be subject to overt victimisation (e.g. physical or sexual violence; verbal abuse) and as a result of those experiences (actual or ‘witnessed’) may fear future victimisation. While some existing work reports levels of transphobic victimisation, there is a dear...
This paper presents draws on interviews with individuals who have experience of creating, maintaining and utilising Facebook sites in memory of a loved one who has died by suicide. We argue that Facebook enables the deceased to be an on-going active presence in the lives of the bereaved. We highlight the potential of the Internet (and Facebook in p...

Drawing on survey data from a UK study of trans people and mental health, the study presented here reports on the experiences of trans people in two health care settings: mental health services and gender identity clinics. An analysis of the primarily qualitative data indicates that in these settings practitioners tend to be poorly informed about t...
The last 10 years have seen a rise in Internet sites commemorating those lost to suicide. These sites describe the life of the deceased and the afterlife of relatives, parents, friends or siblings who have been termed the “forgotten bereaved”. It is clear that such sites have implications for continuing bonds and for what many commentators refer to...
Most societies are heavily organised around a dichotomous model of gender, and individuals are heavily policed on their conformity (or otherwise) to gender norms. This scrutinisation of gender has a profound impact on the identities and lived experiences of trans people, especially for those whose gender identity (or presentation) does not appear t...
