This Special Issue on Gender and Social Justice comes at a time when women and LGBTQ people across the world are facing many issues. Many of our own editorial board members have experienced social injustices related to gender, and have expressed frustration with what is happening around the world.

We see many struggling with social justice issues including:

• Discrimination
• Unequal pay
• Sexual violence
• Physical violence
• A lack of educational opportunities

This special issue attempts to address some of these complex issues.
