This book offers new perspectives on gender-based violence in three
regions where the subject has been taboo in everyday discourse
often due to patriarchal cultural norms that limit women's
autonomy. The contributions to this book provide rare insight into
not only the levels and the socio-demographic determinants of
domestic violence, but topics ranging from men's attitudes toward
wife beating; domestic violence-related adolescent deaths, and
women's health problems due to sexual and physical abuse. With a
comprehensive introduction that provides a comparative
international research framework for discussing gender-based
violence in these three unique regions, this volume provides a key
basis for understanding gender-based violence on a more global
level. Part I, on Africa, covers men's attitudes towards domestic
violence, the impact of poverty and fertility, the association
between adolescent deaths and domestic violence, and the link
between domestic abuse and HIV. Part II, on the Middle East, covers
the importance of consanguinity on domestic violence in Egypt and
Jordan, the effects of physical abuse on reproductive health, and
the link between political unrests and women's experience and
attitudes towards domestic violence. Part III, on India, shows how
sexual abuse puts women at risk of reproductive tract infections
and sexually transmitted infections, as well as the role of gender
norms in wife abuse and the role of youth aggressive behavior in
nonconsensual sex. With such a deep and broad coverage of factors
of intimate partner abuse, this book serves as a reference document
for researchers, decision-makers, and organizations that are
searching for ways to reduce gender-based domestic violence. This
book is of interest for researchers in Criminology and Criminal
Justice, as well as Sociology, Social Work, Public Health and Human
Rights.
