During this talk, we will discuss the categories and conceptions about workplace gender violence from a global long-term perspective. Our research seeks to explore: how have concepts such as sexual harassment, rape, and domestic violence been applied at different moments? How has society framed the relationship between body, gender, and race in colonial and postcolonial societies?
