Violence against Women View Jacket

  • Synopsis
    This is a collection of articles from development practitioners and feminist activists placing violence against women, both direct and indirect, in the context of development. Violence is both a human rights issue and an obstacle to women's participation in development. Writers here focus on campaigning and advocacy work as well as work with women who have experienced violence in countries including Russia, Guinea-Bissau and India. It includes accounts of work with women who have been sexually assaulted and those who have undergone cultural practices such as female genital mutilation and early marriage.
