Violence Against Women in Peace and War: Cases from the Middle East
explores violence against women in the Middle East. Through a
narrative research approach, Maria Holt compares a range of
settings and experiences, arguing that (1) violence against women
tends to increase during periods of conflict; (2) such practices
are legitimized by an already existing environment in which
violence against women is tolerated; (3) women are building
strategies, both at local and regional levels, to combat and
eliminate violence, thus enabling them to play a more constructive
role in processes of conflict resolution and post-conflict
reconstruction; and (4) the greater the commitment by public
authorities to creating sound local frameworks to address violence
against women the stronger will be Arab women's ability to resist
conflict.
