| Feminist research has shed important light on the relationship between VAW and women’s poverty. This paper provides a critical review of the scholarly literature on violence against women (VAW) and its link with women’s poverty. In particular, it reviews how women and feminist scholars conceptualise the role of neoliberal policies in the reproduction of VAW and women’s poverty in Latin America. The review is organised in four chapters: Chapter 1 makes a case for intersectionality as an appropriate approach to the complexity inherent in VAW and poverty in Latin America.Chapter 2 discusses how the multiple structures of economic neoliberalism and political and patriarchal power oppressing women at the macro (regional, national) level are inextricably linked to economic, social, sexual and cultural forms of VAW at the micro, or local, level, and analyses the role of institutions as (re)producers of economic violence against women. Chapter 3 reviews some recent scholarship which probes the issue of VAW from an intersectional perspective. As the history of the continent shows, in countries ravaged by institutional violence and armed conflict, women with “multiple subordinated identities” (such as indigenous, poor women or non-indigenous, poor, lesbian women) tend to be affected by the nexus of violence and poverty in ways which call for a radical re-examination of the concept of “woman” as articulated in the VAW theoretical paradigm. Chapter 4 discusses scholarship on the role of the State and religious institutions in the pervasiveness of VAW in Latin America. Contents: Chapter 1: Key concepts, terms and definitions 1. 1.
