Informationen zum Autor Sanford, Victoria Klappentext This powerful new book argues that violence against women should be understood as a systemic problem—one for which the state must be held accountable. The essays in Gender Violence in Peace and War examine a variety of cases where the state facilitates, legitimates, or perpetuates violence against women—a continuum that ranges from state-sponsored rape and torture in Guatemala, Indonesia, and Kenya to lax prosecution of domestic violence and sex trafficking in Russia and the United States. Zusammenfassung Reports from war zones often note the obscene victimization of women. Yet this reign of terror against women not only occurs during exceptional moments of social collapse! but during peacetime too. As this powerful book argues! violence against women should be understood as a systemic problem - one for which the state must be held accountable.
