Violence against Women

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses how every feminist and the majority of women believe that violence is wrong and must be stopped. However, while most Western women view violence as a threat, marginalized women in the West and those outside the West have experienced a different form of violence. The different violence is not fully accounted for by using a gender lens. Other factors enter into it such as class, race and ethnicity. When viewed in a global context, women see violence and its solutions in very differing ways and the paper contends that violence needs to be redefined.
