Christianity Today 2019 Book of the Year Award, Politics and Public
Life Across the globe, acts of violence against women produce more
deaths, disability, and mutilation than cancer, malaria, and
traffic accidents combined. The truth is that violence on such a
scale could not exist were it not structured in some way into the
very fabric of societies and cultures themselves. It could not
continue if it were not somehow supported by deep assumptions about
the value of women, or some justification of the use of power. In
many cultures such assumptions are reiterated every day in the
absence of legal protection for women, or indifference toward
issues of human rights. In Scars Across Humanity, Elaine Storkey
offers a rigorously researched overview of this global pandemic.
From female infanticide and child brides to domestic abuse,
prostitution, rape, and honor killings, violence against women
occurs at all stages of life, and in all cultures and societies.
How and why has this violence become so prevalent? It seems
ambitious to hope that we can find an answer to this question, but
if violence to women is ever to be eliminated, we need to know what
we are up against.
