With its roots in the fight to end slavery, and in anti-colonialist struggles for Black liberation, contemporary abolitionism seeks the dismantling of all systems of oppression, from white supremacy to the patriarchy. Equally importantly, it asks us to imagine a world in which these oppressive structures no longer exist. It demands that we invest in people not power ; in communities not coercion ; in healthcare, housing, education and social services, not prisons, detention centres and police forces.
And it does so through a feminist lens, recognizing that gender and sexual violence are encouraged and enabled by these same systems of oppression.

In this landmark work, four of the world's leading scholar-activists issue an urgent call for a truly intersectional, internationalist, abolitionist feminism. As a politic and as a practice, abolitionism has increasingly shaped our political moment, amplified through the worldwide protests following the 2020 murder of George Floyd by a uniformed police officer. It is at the heart of the Black Lives Matter movement, in its demand for police defunding and demilitarization, and for a halt to prison construction.
And it is there In the outrage which greeted the brutal treatment of women by police at the 2021 Clapham Common vigil for Sarah Everard. As this book shows, abolitionism and feminism stand shoulder to shoulder in fighting a common cause : the end of the carceral state, with its key role In perpetuating violence, both public and private, in prisons, in police forces and in people's homes. Abolitionist theories and practices are at their most compelling when they are feminist, and a feminism that is also abolitionist is the most inclusive and persuasive version of feminism for these times.
