Gender and Violence in the Middle East

Beschreibung

This book examines the issue of gender and violence in the Middle East and North Africa. While gender-based violence is a universal phenomenon, it takes interesting nuances and in this region where tradition, social norm, religion, war, and politics intermingle in a powerful space-based patriarchy. Drawing on case studies across the region, the authors examine the historical, cultural, religious, social, legal and political factors affecting the issue.
