Violence hostile to Women: The Health Sector Responds Books
Product Description
Millions of women in the Americas and nearly the globe suffer the effects of corporal, sexual, and emotional violence in their own homes every day. Their pain is too often silent and invisible to the rest of the world. Yet as many as one out of every three women are victims of gender-based violence, one of the most widespread human rights and broadcast health problems in the world today. Using an integrated community approach involving the health sector, by the side of with the legal, juridical, educational, religious and NGO sectors, buttressed by the development of national policies and laws, the PAHO strategy has helped make more than 150 local anti-violence networks throughout Latin America. The second part of Violence hostile to Women: The Health Sector Responds highlights the consequences of the project’s recent evaluation and includes numerous insights by health workers, schoolteachers, police and court officials, women’s advocates, and other community leaders regarding the effectiveness of the project’s approach. Most revealing of all, but, is the voices of the women themselves, as they describe living with violence and the community’s response to their needs. The book’s final chapter presents a global perspective on how the lessons learned in Central America and PAHO’s integrated strategy may be applied in other communities nearly the world.
