Reflecting a concern with the high rates of gendered and sexual violence in South Africa, the authors of this innovative book explore the experiences of and identifications with gender and sexuality of a diverse group of young people, as well as how those experiences/identifications intersect with race, class, age, and place.

The research presented in the book is based on the use of photovoice, a participatory research methodology. This approach allowed the participants to share their knowledge and expertise and to gain a critical consciousness about their identities without fear of stigma or violence.
