Produktbeschreibung
Domestic violence is recognized as the most pervasive
form of violence against women and almost all
countries in the world experience this scourge. Yet,
it was only in 1993 that the United Nations adopted
the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence
against Women, the first international human rights
instrument to deal specifically with the issue. Until
recently, data from low and middle income countries
was limited. In particular, few representative
studies had been conducted in Africa and the Middle
East. This book explores risk factors and health
outcomes associated with wife-beating as reported by
Egyptian women throughout the country. The findings
should shed light on the magnitude and issues related
to wife-beating in an understudied region. They
should be especially useful to policy makers, the
community of governmental and non-governmental
organizations, the civil society at large as well as
researchers working to improve women's health and
status. The book should also be valuable to
specialists in health promotion and behavior change
communication, to donor agencies, and to anyone
interested in women's issues.
