Tackling violence against women : a worldwide approach.

"Violence against women is a global pandemic. It devastates the lives of women, their families, and their communities. It also threatens to undermine efforts to bring about sustainable development. But all over the world women -and men - are combating what Kofi Annan calls 'perhaps the most shameful human-rights violation.' In Tackling violence against women Womenkind Worldwide shares the stories, struggles, and strategies of people in Zimbabwe, Afghanistan, Ghana, Peru, India and the UK who have come together to stand up for the right of women not to live in fear."--From cover.
