This panel focuses on the role of state and gendered structures for the success and failures of movements that address the issue of gender based violence. Comparative studies on state responses towards gender based violence not only point to important cross-national variations in policy responses, but also that these fluctuate over time. Yet, these studies seldom analyze the long-term mechanisms of state/movement interaction and how these mechanisms translate into policy outcomes in the long run. To understand variations in success and possible policy reversals we need a more complex understanding of gendered opportunity structures including both pro- and oppositional forces. In this panel we invite papers that explore the role of institutions, legacies, master frames on gender equality, strategic allies and countermobilizations in either enabling or impeding the success of movements that mobilize against violence.
