Overcoming Violence against Women and Girls: The International Campaign to Eradicate a Worldwide Problem
A compelling document illustrating the worldwide physical and mental abuses of women. Marrying the perspectives of thinkers, researchers, and practitioners, they offer statistics, stories, and cultural histories on their way toward issuing a call for action. Highly recommended. (Choice)This book tells an important story powerfully and clearly. The story is important because it deals with one of the world's greatest current injustices which produces one of the world's greatest set of health problems. The book tells its story powerfully because it focuses on the moral foundations of human interaction. We won't create gender equality and rid the world of gender-based violence without wrestling with the attendant moral issues. Penn sets out these issues clearly and comprehensively.
