- Description
- This book complements the work carried out in the legal, human services, and health fields by demonstrating how a focus on local issues and responses can better inform a collaborative global response to the problem of gender-based violence. The chapters in this volume provide evidence that top-down responses to violence have been inadequate, and that solutions are available when the local historical, political, and social context is taken into consideration.
