- Description
- The seven initiatives described in this book demonstrate the power of collective action. Taken from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cambodia, Honduras, India, Kenya, Nigeria, and the West Bank and Gaza, they explore the ways in which women's organisations can work together with judicial and law enforcement systems, community and youth groups, policy makers and international organisations to respond to the global mandates to end violence against women. They go beyond breaking the silence that surrounds gender-based violence to helping communities and institutions take collective responsibility for ending it.
