The publication and launch of international sport management professional Sally Freedman's book, <i>“Get your tits out for the lads” true stories from a woman in football</i> (2023) was purposefully cast against the backdrop of Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand's hosting of the Women's Football World Cup.</p><p>“The FIFA” (Federation Internationale de Football Association) 2023 tournament is historic for institutional reasons. It is the first time two nations from different football confederations (Asia and Oceania) have been awarded the rights to co-host a World Cup Football tournament. It is also the first tournament following FIFA's formal commitment to redress treatment inequities including not yet realized pay equity (Beissel et al., <span>2023</span>; Haldane, <span>2021</span>). The ensuing 2023 tournament has been fervently celebrated by the host nation governments and domestic governing bodies through an aspirational event legacy. Underpinned by five pillars Australia's “Legacy 2023” plan includes a purposeful intent to increase women's involvement in football management, coaching, and refereeing (Football Australia, <span>2023</span>). These aspirations are tied directly to Freedman's text, and which inform the proceeding review.</p><p>At the tournament's conclusion chief among celebratory outcomes has been the sale of tickets exceeding 1.5 million establishing a new benchmark for any FIFA Women's World Cup (Pender, <span>2023</span>). Alongside this, a record television audience of 2 billion watched the spectacle (Whittaker, <span>2023</span>). The media have described the 2023 tournament as a “turning point,” and “a game-changer” for the commercial and societal value of women's football (Belas Trindade, <span>2023</span>; Holmes, <span>2023</span>; Inside FIFA, <span>2023</span>; Kwan, <span>2023</span>).</p><p>Though attendance figures, media reach, and legacy commitments are worthy of celebration Freedman's book elucidates how the game-changer narrative is “inherently dangerous” (O’Shea, <span>2023</span>). Pull back the curtain, scratch the surface and Freedman's experience shows us that progress in sport is not linear (Woodward, <span>2017</span>) and it should not be mistakenly conflated with success.</p><p>Though women's physical exclusion on the football pitch is increasingly dislodged (Williams, <span>2006</span>) it is enveloped by complexities and dangers, including Freedman's discussion of the verbal, emotional, and sexual abuse entrenched in the USA National Women's Soccer League (Draper, <span>2022</span>; Lutz, <span>2022</span>). Cases of abuse across the football systems of other competing nations (Hall, <span>2023</span>; Panja, <span>2022</span>) and the repeated institutional failures to address these dangers (Hall, <span>2020</span>) alert us to the viol","PeriodicalId":48128,"journal":{"name":"Gender Work and Organization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gwao.13113","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139679334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can include physical, sexual, emotional, social, verbal, spiritual and economic abuse” (Mission Australia, <span>2021</span>). While the number of people affected by domestic violence will probably never be truly known given the often private nature of the crime, it has been estimated that over 1.6 million women and 548,000 men in the author's home country of Australia have been affected by physical and/or sexual violence through the hands of either a current or previous partner (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, <span>2022</span>).</p><p>In recent years, there has been an increased academic focus on developing ways to assist women and men who have experienced domestic violence to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic (Boucher, <span>2023</span>; Kourti et al., <span>2023</span>), to return to the workforce after experiencing a domestic violence incident (Wilcox et al., <span>2021</span>), and with understanding the effects of domestic violence on counselors and other support services (Rodriguez et al., <span>2021</span>). In Australia, a range of government programs including 1800 Respect, the Men's Referral Service and in New South Wales, the Women's Legal Service have been developed to provide support to people affected by domestic violence, including the provision of mental health supports. Outside of the government sector, care is also provided by third parties including the churches (e.g., Baptist Care and Catholic Care), as well as through the work of GPs (general practitioners) and other Allied Health Professionals. Whilst each of these groups play an important role in caring for someone who has experienced domestic violence, often those of the front line are not government, health or emergency service professionals but rather are the family members of the person experiencing domestic violence. In 2018, there were some 2.65 million people in Australia who provided informal care to a friend, family member, or neighbor (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, <span>2023</span>).</p><p>The purpose of this paper is to offer some auto-ethnographic perspectives on what it is like to care for a loved-on who has experienced domestic violence and has on-going mental health issues in the form of post-traumatic stress disorder (hereafter PTSD¹). With reference to a framework for caring that has been put forward by Tronto (<span>2020</span>), I want to draw attention to the individual nature of the caring relationship, as well as the important role of family carers in caring for domestic violence survivors (Domestic Violence Prevention Center, <span>2023</span>).

Judith Butler conceptualizes vulnerability as both universally shared human condition <i>and</i> individually experienced, thereby describes how vulnerability is both a bodily ontology (we are all vulnerable due to our human bodies being dependent on each other to support us), and an epistemic frame (through vulnerability we can know), resulting in an ethical response-ability (to not hurt one another). Vulnerability, though universally shared, is individually experienced and unequally distributed, because it depends on what Judith Butler calls “social infrastructures”. Organizations and their organizing practices constitute such social infrastructures and at the same time depend on them. Using a vulnerability lens makes it possible to study how organizations co-constitute vulnerability and the positionality that they inhabit toward vulnerability.</p>","PeriodicalId":48128,"journal":{"name":"Gender Work and Organization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gwao.13103","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138717343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing upon our experiences as women, parents, and early career academics (ECAs) in Switzerland and enriched by feminist theory on reproductive labor and carework, we examine the unequal impacts of the pandemic. First, our analysis reveals how the pandemic disproportionately impacted ECAs, a group already in a position of precarity within academia. Second, we identify the broad range of tasks brought about by the pandemic as “COVID labor”. This essential labor—undervalued, invisible, and often unpaid—had a particularly negative impact on ECAs. Third, looking at various intersections of difference, we emphasize that the experience of COVID labor was far from uniform among ECAs with institutional responses disregarding its extent and unequal distribution. In conclusion, we underscore the importance of acknowledging the long-term consequences of COVID labor on ECAs, particularly those belonging to underrepresented groups. Neglecting these issues may lead to the loss of a wide range of talented scholars for reasons that are not related to the quality of their academic performance.</p>","PeriodicalId":48128,"journal":{"name":"Gender Work and Organization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gwao.13092","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138717417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
