520    Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is a longstanding 
       problem that has increasingly come to the forefront of 
       international and national policy debates and news: from 
       the US reauthorization of the Violence against Women Act 
       and a United Nations declaration to end sexual violence in
       war, to coverage of gang rapes in India, cyberstalking and
       "revenge porn", honor killings, female genital mutilation,
       and international trafficking. Yet, while we frequently 
       read or learn about particular experiences or incidents of
       VAWG, we are often unaware of the full picture. Jacqui 
       True, an internationally renowned scholar of globalization
       and gender, provides an expansive frame for understanding 
       VAWG in this book. Among the questions she addresses 
       include: What are we talking about when we discuss VAWG? 
       What kinds of violence does it encompass? Who does it 
       affect most and why? What are the risk factors for victims
       and perpetrators? Does VAWG occur at the same level in all
       societies? Are there cultural explanations for it? What 
       types of legal redress do victims have? How reliable are 
       the statistics that we have? Are men and boys victims of 
       gender-based violence? What is the role of the media in 
       exacerbating VAWG? And, what sorts of policy and advocacy 
       routes exist to end VAWG? This volume addresses the 
       current state of knowledge and research on these 
       questions. True surveys our best understanding of the 
       causes and consequences of violence against women in the 
       home, local community, workplace, public, and 
       transnationally. In so doing, she brings together 
       multidisciplinary perspectives on the problem of violence 
       against women and girls, and sets out the most promising 
       policy and advocacy frameworks to end this violence.
