Gill Hague (born December 18, 1945) is a Professor of Violence Against Women Studies at the University of Bristol, UK. She has been an activist on violence against women, both in the UK and internationally since 1989. She has written or co-authored approximately 145 publications on the subject.

Biography
Professor Hague is known as an international expert on violence against women issues, working in the UK and across the world, notably in various African, South Asian, and Middle Eastern countries. She has worked on gender issues since 1972, as an activist, refuge/shelter worker, trainer on violence against women, lecturer, senior research fellow, consultant, and research professor.

In 1989/1990, she co-founded the Violence Against Women Research Group at the University of Bristol, with Dr. Ellen Malos. Now called the Centre for Gender and Violence Research, it has worked with Women’s Aid in England.

She has also worked with the UN and the Council of Europe in Strasbourg where she addressed disability and violence against women.

She has taught at the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England in the UK, Smith College in the US, and Acadia University in Canada.

Hague’s international work includes the development of practical manuals on domestic violence for use as empowerment tools in impoverished communities and schools in India conducted with Drs. Lynn-Marie Sardinha, Helen Joseph, Mary Alphonse, and Malos.

She conducted a collaborative study on children’s views and experiences of domestic violence, with Professor Liz Kelly and others led overall by Professor Mullender. The study resulted in two books, Children’s Perspectives on Domestic Violence in 2002, and Stop Hitting Mum in 2004. Both were based on children’s own voices and views.

Hague retired from the University of Bristol in 2012.

Notable Books
Hague has produced approximately 145 publications on violence against women including ten books and three collections of poetry. In addition to the books previously mentioned, she co-authored Domestic Violence: Action for Change, with Dr. Ellen Malos, which was published in three editions (3rd Edition, 2005, 2nd Edition 1998, 1st Edition 1993). Her most recent book published in 2021 is History and Memories of the Domestic Violence Movement: We’ve come further than you think. This is the only presently available book dedicated to the history of the activist women’s movement against gender violence since the 1960s, in the UK and internationally.

Awards
In 2013, Hague was awarded a Special Life Prize for her lifetime’s work on violence against women by the Emma Humphreys Memorial Trust, the only national prizes on gender-based violence in the UK.

In 2020, she was awarded a CBE for services on violence against women and support for survivors.
