Violence against Women and Girls: Global Perspectives engages with VAWG in the United Kingdom and across the global South, including case studies from India, Myanmar, and South Sudan. Considering various forms of violence, including harmful cultural practices such as FGM and Early Child Marriage, dowry- and bride-price-based harassment, stranger rape, work-based harassment, Intimate Partner Violence, and other forms of domestic violence, this important volume creates an original critical lens by combining the ecology model, the intersectional approach, and a spectrum designed to identify the range of different forms of VAWG in a given context. Arguing for a greater understanding of the local political and cultural contexts in which VAWG is allowed to flourish, Violence against Women and Girls: Global Perspectives is one of the few works to give due prominence to local women's organizations in the global South and beyond, who it argues must ultimately play the leading role in ending VAWG. At a time when the fight against violent misogyny finds itself at a critical turning point, this volume makes a substantial and timely contribution towards the ultimate goal of ending VAWG." --Amazon.com. 650 0 $a Women $x Violence against $v Cross-cultural studies. 650 0 $a Girls $x Violence against $v Cross-cultural studies. 650 0 $a Women $x Prevention. $x Prevention. 650 0 $a Girls $x Prevention. $x Prevention. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781786994172 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210406020559.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C3BDC1EA4F2711EB9A63D65926ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
