This chapter analyzes the sources that produce gendered – as well as racist, homophobic, or similarly marked – violence, and the social and political movements pressing for such acts to be understood as mechanisms of subordination and as markers of inequality. Dozens of jurisdictions have taken up the questions of what obligations flow to the state and of how to expand the repertoire of remedies deployed when governments work towards achieving substantive equality. The call for “sheltering in place” in the wake of COVID-19 has served as a sad reminder of the urgent need to limit violence based in households.

Abstract
This chapter analyzes the sources that produce gendered – as well as racist, homophobic, or similarly marked – violence, and the social and political movements pressing for such acts to be understood as mechanisms of subordination and as markers of inequality. Dozens of jurisdictions have taken up the questions of what obligations flow to the state and of how to expand the repertoire of remedies deployed when governments work towards achieving substantive equality. The call for “sheltering in place” in the wake of COVID-19 has served as a sad reminder of the urgent need to limit violence based in households.
