“基于性别的暴力”等术语与一系列不断演变的话语有关，这些话语不仅是描述性的，而且是解释性的和政治性的。然而，使暴力成为“基于性别的”的因素往往是含蓄的，而不是明确的。在这场辩论中，我们认为，需要更具体地说明基于性别的暴力的性别特征，同时允许这一概念继续具有弹性，以适用于不同的背景和形式的暴力。借鉴国际奖学金和不断发展的性别社会学的关键见解，我们概述了一个框架，定位和定义“性别”在“基于性别的暴力”。我们认为，这一框架通过在身份、互动和结构三个层面上审查性别与暴力之间的联系，为绘制性别与暴力之间的联系提供了一个更明确的起点。因此，它要求更全面地了解基于性别的暴力，包括妇女、男子和非二元人群，同时仍然考虑到基于性别的暴力对妇女的影响不成比例。我们认为，在南非和全球南部其他地方产生的丰富的特定背景下的奖学金反映了性别在这三个层面上的运作，并增加了更多的层次和复杂性，真正关注国际奖学金往往缺乏的交叉性。
Terms such as "gender-based violence" are connected with a range of evolving discourses that are not merely descriptive, but interpretive and political in nature. Yet, what makes violence "gender-based" is often implicit rather than explicit. In this Debates we argue that there needs to be greater specificity about what is gendered about gender-based violence, while allowing for the continued elasticity of the concept for application across diverse contexts and forms of violence. Drawing on international scholarship and key insights from the evolving sociology of gender, we outline a framework for locating and defining the "gender" in "gender-based violence". This framework, we suggest, makes for a clearer starting point for mapping the connections between gender and violence, by examining these connections at the three levels of identity, interaction and structure. As such, it invites a more comprehensive picture of gender-based violence, one that includes women, men, and non-binary people while still accounting for the ways gender-based violence disproportionately affects women. We argue that the rich contextually-specific scholarship being produced in South Africa and elsewhere in the global South reflects gender as operating at these three levels, and adds further layers and complexity with a genuine attention to intersectionality that is often lacking from international scholarship.
