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.
