| Synopsis: |
The incidence of domestic violence in South Asia is among the highest in the world and gender-based violence is seen as a major public health problem as well as a development and human rights issue. The experiences, views and recommendations of South Asian activists form the core of this book along with related findings and international concerns. The first part of the book starts with some basic definitions, looks at key international treaties and declarations and goes on to examine the problems that women and girls face due to gender violence. The second part of the book looks at why gender violence occurs, where change is needed and how to achieve change. |
