Violence Against Women, 2016, 22(3): 344-365

Headlines in the media highlight violent crimes against male international students by strangers in public spaces. The media reports run contrary to the perceptions of the 65 key informants from Australia and the United States interviewed for this study. They suggest that violence against female international students by known perpetrators in private spaces is common. The authors argue that intersecting inequalities relating to gender, race, and class are often compounded by the status of “international student.” Discussions focus on various forms of gender-based violence and gender violence education and support programmes in Australia and the United States.
