- Summary
- "How can we understand and contest the global wave of violence against women? In this book, Alison Brysk shows that gender violence tends to change as countries develop and liberalize, but not in the ways that we might predict. Brysk analyzes the experience of semi-liberal, developing countries at the frontiers of globalization to map out shifting patterns of violence and what can be done to change them. As the book shows, gender violence is not static, nor can it be attributed to culture or individual pathology - patterns of femicide and sexual violence track economic, political, and social change. Worldwide, a combination of international action, legal reform, gendered public policy, civil society mobilization, and campaigns for changes in social values work to decrease gender violence. But Brysk goes on to assess the potential, limits, and balance of these measures in specific societies and scenarios of gender violence. Brysk shows that a human rights approach is necessary but not sufficient to address gender violence, and that insights from feminist and critical development approaches are essential"--Back cover
