- Description
- The first section of this book examines definitions of violence against women. It discusses responses to violence that are based on human rights approaches, and asks why - until recently - development organisations have failed to use strategies to counter violence against women and to support the victims. The second section focuses on possible strategies for governments and NGO's. Case studies drawn from over 30 countries worldwide, from times of peace and armed conflict, illustrate the possibilities and pitfalls of different strategies and interventions.

- Description
- This book aims to map the diversity of meanings of gender equality across Europe - including the European Union and member states such as Austria, the Netherlands, Hungary, Slovenia, Greece, and Spain - and reflects on the contested concept of gender equality. The different meanings of gender equality are explored comparatively in relation to the issues of family policies, domestic violence, and gender inequality in politics, while specific national contexts discuss the issues of prostitution (Austria, Slovenia), migration (the Netherlands), homosexual rights (Spain), and antidiscrimination (Hungary). Each chapter will provide insights on the ongoing theoretical and political debate about gender equality.
