Authors:	Goel, Rashmi (Eds.) Goodmark, Leigh
Keywords:	Violence against women;Victims / survivors;Intimate partner violence;Prevention

Publisher:	Oxford University Press
Notes:	"The United States has uncritically exported its law and policy on gender violence without regard to effectiveness or cultural context, and without asking what we might learn from efforts to combat gender violence in the rest of the world. This book documents the global scope of gender violence, from countries where the legal response is just emerging to countries with longstanding law and policy regimes. This book examines policy successes and failures and grassroots efforts to elicit a robust and proactive response from China to Chile. From the work of local activists to stem the tide of sexual and intimate partner violence after the Haitian earthquake of 2005, to the efforts to eradicate dowry-related violence in India, to the public education campaigns to prevent domestic violence in Scotland, Comparative Perspectives on Gender Violence offers a comprehensive vision of efforts around the world to eradicate gender based violence."
