Description: "Outside the Safety Zone provides a much-needed foundation on which to build future research into violence against LGBTI communities in general, and against lesbian and gender-nonconforming women in particular. The report examines a range of key issues relating to gender-based violence, including naming and describing sources of violence, measuring the problem, conceptualising its causes and consequences, and responding to violence against LGBTI communities. Through its detailed survey of existing scholarship, Outside the Safety Zone isolates and describes crucial information gaps, and puts forward a comprehensive list of future research priorities." -- Back cover.
