34:T4f8, Introduction:

This perspective article explores how intersectionality and intersectional structural competence can enrich transcultural nursing. While cultural competence has historically improved patient-centered care through better transcultural communication, persistent health inequities demand strategies that address the systemic and institutional determinants of health.

Discussion:

We argue for integrating structural competence into established transcultural frameworks to enhance nursing’s capacity for equity-oriented care. By embedding intersectional approaches into curricula and engaging nurses in policy advocacy, the nursing profession can evolve beyond its cultural foundations to tackle the root causes of health disparities.

Recommendation:

This synergistic approach honors the legacy of transcultural nursing while empowering practitioners with the professional agency needed to challenge structural barriers. Ultimately, this integration equips nurses to advance social justice and promote more equitable health care systems.

35:T4f0, Introduction:

New technological advances, including generative artificial intelligence, have provided new methods of victimizing women and girls. The discussion on the impact of digital violence against women and girls throughout the United Nations 70th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women represented a global and unified effort to influence and shape global policy discourse for digital violence against women and girls.

Discussion:

This perspective paper examined the digital violence against women and girls in a global context and reviewed existing international and the U.S. federal legal frameworks. Critical gaps were identified, and recommendations were presented.

Recommendations:

Digital violence against women and girls is a justice and public health crisis. Concerted legal and legislative regulations at an international, national, regional, and local level are essential to protect women and girls. Nurses and health care professionals are stakeholders in the protection of women and girls from digital violence.
