Notes:  The issues of class, race and sexuality challenge international efforts to stop violence against women. Engagement across difference allows for debate and disagreement, and also for the possibility to find similarities regardless of differences in context. There will always be a diversity of approaches and strategies to local contexts when working with women against violence. This paper stresses that to explore that difference rather than to presume it enriches our knowledge, concepts and approaches to change. Other issues explored are the definition of victim and agency, the orthodoxy of ‘breaking silence’, the implications of increased globalisation, and the question of whether researchers and activists are willing to look for and see change, particularly when conventional models of analysis may be too simplistic.
