虽然本章将所有暴力侵害妇女行为都视为人权问题，但它强调了这种暴力的“文化化”形式，如基于名誉的暴力/虐待、强迫婚姻和切割女性生殖器官。作者利用他们各自的研究来强调这些形式的性别暴力如何受到文化化的过程。本章表明，虽然这一进程提高了人们对以前研究不足的虐待形式的认识，并更广泛地强调了妇女遭受暴力的经历之间的一些背景差异，但它对文化和文化病理学的过分强调导致了政策和立法对策并不总是有利于受害者。最后，本章旨在质疑不同社区对暴力的“文化化”理解，并说明当前的政策、立法和支持措施如何未能充分满足黑人和少数民族受害者/幸存者的交叉需求。
Although this chapter situates all violence against women as a human rights issue, it emphasises ‘culturalised’ forms of this violence, such as honour-based violence/abuse, forced marriage and female genital mutilation. The authors draw upon their respective research to highlight how these forms of gendered violence have been subjected to a process of culturalisation. The chapter shows that while this process has raised awareness of previously under-researched forms of abuse and highlighted some of the contextual differences between women’s experiences of violence more broadly, its overemphasis on culture and cultural pathology has resulted in policy and legislative responses that do not always benefit victims. Ultimately, this chapter aims to problematise ‘culturalised’ understandings of violence in diverse communities and to show how current policy, legislative and support responses fail to adequately address the intersectional needs of black and minority ethnic victims/survivors.1
