Abstract

This chapter arose from discussions that took place between four current and former frontline workers, academics, writers, transformative justice practitioners, and community organisers beginning in June 2020. It seeks to explore what justice for survivors of gendered violence can look like if the criminal legal system is taken out of the equation. From theory to practice, state to the community, and personal to professional, Aviah, Kamilah, Melanie, molly, and Yara explore their own complex journeys into abolition rooted transformative praxis, which so often relies on deep creativity and uncomfortable conversations. In doing so, they hope to highlight alternative ways of thinking and working that can offer different ways of supporting survivors outside of a carceral framework. In striving for the abolition of gender-based violence, so too must prison abolition and transformative justice be seriously considered, and this chapter-rooted conversation calls for greater reflection around current engagements with carcerality when supporting survivors of gender-based violence.
