The political economy of violence against women True, Jacqui - Oxford Oxford University Press 2012 - x, 242 p. - Oxford Studies in Gender and International Relations .

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Violence against women is a major problem in all countries, affecting women in every socio-economic group and at every life stage. Nowhere in the world do women share equal social and economic rights with men or the same access as men to productive resources. Economic globalization and development are creating new challenges for women's rights as well as some new opportunities for advancing women's economic independence and gender equality. Yet, when women have access to productive resources and they enjoy social and economic rights they are less vulnerable to violence across all societies.
