It can take place in public, private and virtual settings, and within the context of intimate, familial, community and institutional relationships. While all these forms affect girls and women more, boys and men can also be exposed of various forms of violence including child abuse, sexual abuse, wartime violence, corporal punishment to name a few.

Dr. Michaela Rogers (PhD (Sheffield), MA Social Work (MMU), PgCAP (Salford), BA (Hons) Social Sciences: Social Policy (MMU), SFHEA), is a registered social worker (Social Work England SW85402) and Senior Lecturer in Social Work at the University of Sheffield, UK. She is currently the Director of Education for the Department of Sociological Studies. Michaela has a professional and academic background in the field of social work and social care. Her practice experience ranges from statutory social work in safeguarding children and young people to voluntary sector management and frontline positions working with groups of vulnerable people (for example, women and children escaping domestic abuse). Michaela's research spans the areas of social care, social justice, equality, and diversity, safeguarding, interpersonal abuse and gender-based violence. These projects typically aim to explore social problems in terms of everyday experiences or assess the impact of service delivery or specific policy initiatives. For example, her work on gender-based violence and domestic abuse has a focus towards the experiences of marginalised groups (LGBTQ communities and older people) exploring the barriers and enablers to help-seeking and accessing support. Michaela has published widely on gender-based violence, domestic abuse and has published a number of books contributing to social work literature on skills and knowledge development for practice. Current research includes child-to-parent violence, elder abuse, technology-facilitated intimate partner abuse and the intersection of female offending, mothering and domestic abuse.
