This book examines the multifaceted nature of gender-based violence (GBV) and the many forms it can take. It explores the area of GBV and its implications on human rights, law, and policy. The book highlights the significance of current international debates around preventing GBV and provides context for understanding GBV as a complex structural phenomenon deeply rooted in gender inequality. It addresses GBV as one of the most notable human rights violations within all societies and provides multiple global perspectives on GBV to address the common challenges and barriers to combating this issue. Key areas of coverage include:

Sexual violence. Domestic violence. Intimate partner violence. Media Misogyny.

Online trolling. Discrimination. Sex trafficking and modern slavery. Preventative Measures and role of men.

International Perspectives on Gender-Based Violence is an essential resource for researchers, clinicians/therapists, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in developmental psychology, family policy, forensic psychology, human rights, public health, criminology/criminal justice, and clinical social work as well as all interrelated disciplines.
