Violence Against Women
Kathryn Roberts
- Reading
- Consider reading together or checking in after sections on violence.
- Themes
- Naming and categorising femicide: The book discusses recognising femicide as a distinct issue and includes the opposing view that this framing may overstate its importance. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Forms of violence and prevention: The book is described as exploring forms femicide takes around the world and potential means of combating it. This suggests informational coverage of the issue and possible responses, but does not show how particular measures are assessed.
- Worth knowing
- The subject includes women being murdered because of their gender, and the book discusses violence and homicide. The detail and intensity of its treatment are unclear.
