Women around the world routinely suffer from beatings, rape,
torture and murder. These are not the practices of a few demented
individuals, but are often institutionalized, culturally-sanctioned
behaviors. Millions of women live in a constant state of isolation,
terror and fear; for most, escape is nearly impossible due to
economic, social, or cultural restrictions. Forsaken Females
describes the many types of global brutalization that occur against
women: including feticide, infanticide, female genital mutilation,
sexual slavery, honor killing, acid attacks, trafficking, dowry
death, rape, and intimate partner violence. The violence is varied
in both method and practice and is often supported by patriarchal
ideologies or policies that maintain the social conditions and
cultural framework that accept women s brutalization. Forsaken
Females also addresses the physical, emotional and economic impact
of the violence. The discussion is structured around the
experiences of women who describe their personal victimization.
Each chapter concludes with examples of promising policies and
practices developed to address and reduce violence perpetrated
against women."
