Aims & Scope
Dignity: A Journal of Analysis of Exploitation and Violence is an open access, peer-reviewed, journal dedicated to publishing original articles on topics related to democracy, freedom, sexual exploitation, and violence. The journal is a forum for research and analysis on how violence and exploitation harm the dignity and health of individuals, the integrity and security of communities, and the strength, freedom, and rule of law of nations. The journal is an arena for practitioners, activists, and service providers to report on interventions, movements and progress on healing individuals, rehabilitating communities, and transforming states where justice serves all people. The journal encourages investigations and discussion of challenges to dignity and justice such as the rise of authoritarian movements and governments, corruption, lack of rule of law, harmful cultural practices, and laws and policies that justify and institutionalize inequality, violence, and exploitation. The journal is a forum to examine how individuals, civil societies, and states have responded to improve human and civil rights and democracy. Dignity aims to contribute to evidence-based knowledge and theoretical development of these topics to give people the tools to build and maintain freedom and democracy and end sexual exploitation and violence.
