家庭、地域社会、職場、一般社会、公共空間における女性や少女に対する暴力(以下VAWG)は、長きにわたる問題で、国内外の政策論争や報道で取り上げられる機会も増えています。米国の「女性に対する暴力防止法」の再承認、戦争における性的暴力をなくすための国連宣言、インドの集団レイプ、サイバーストーキングや「リベンジポルノ」、名誉殺人、女性性器切除、国際人身売買まで、さまざまな問題が起きています。私たちは頻繁にVAWGについて見聞きしていながら、その全体像については知らないことが多いと言わざるを得ません。
VAWGとはどのような暴力を指し、最も影響を受けるのは誰でしょうか。被害者と加害者のリスク要因にはどのようなものがあるのでしょうか。VAWGはすべての社会で同様に起こるのでしょうか。統計に表われる数字はどの程度信頼できるのでしょうか。男性や少年もジェンダーに基づく暴力の被害者になり得るのでしょうか。VAWGを終わらせるべく講じられている政策や支援にはどのようなものがあるのでしょうか。本書は国際関係とジェンダーの著名な研究者のジャッキー・トゥルーがこれらの疑問に対する知見と研究の現状を取り上げ、VAWGを理解するための広範な枠組みを提供します。
    

  • An accessible introduction to understand the problem of violence against women and girls (VAWG)
  • Provides a synthesis of the latest knowledge on VAWG, what it is, what causes it, its consequences, and how to reduce and prevent it
  • Connects women's everyday experiences of violence to broader global patterns

  
Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is a longstanding problem that has increasingly come to the forefront of international and national policy debates and news: from the US reauthorization of the Violence against Women Act and a United Nations declaration to end sexual violence in war, to coverage of gang rapes in India, cyberstalking and "revenge porn", honor killings, female genital mutilation, and international trafficking. Yet, while we frequently read or learn about particular experiences or incidents of VAWG, we are often unaware of the full picture.
  
Jacqui True, an internationally renowned scholar of globalization and gender, provides an expansive frame for understanding VAWG in this book. Among the questions she addresses include: What are we talking about when we discuss VAWG? What kinds of violence does it encompass? Who does it affect most and why? What are the risk factors for victims and perpetrators? Does VAWG occur at the same level in all societies? Are there cultural explanations for it? What types of legal redress do victims have? How reliable are the statistics that we have? Are men and boys victims of gender-based violence? What is the role of the media in exacerbating VAWG? And, what sorts of policy and advocacy routes exist to end VAWG? This volume addresses the current state of knowledge and research on these questions. True surveys our best understanding of the causes and consequences of violence against women in the home, local community, workplace, public, and transnationally. In so doing, she brings together multidisciplinary perspectives on the problem of violence against women and girls, and sets out the most promising policy and advocacy frameworks to end this violence.
