Description
Gender-based violence affects every society in the world, and represents a significant impediment to development. This volume explores and discusses the wide variety of forms that gender-based violence can take, including violence within marriage, during fuel collection and forced evictions, and at school.
The impact of this violence on victims is profound, limiting their ability to support themselves and enjoy their full rights as human beings. The authors present examples of successful policy and advocacy responses, ranging from lobbying for better legal and police protection for victims, to working with men and boys to combat the underlying gender stereotypes and expectations that legitimize gender-based violence against women.
Case studies are drawn from across the world, highlighting the need for a comprehensive approach to addressing this complex issue. By examining the various forms of gender-based violence and effective responses, this book provides valuable insights into a critical global concern.
