Description
Gender-based violence is a convoluted concept with no single explanation or solution. Abiodun Raufu, Omolade Olunike OLOMOLA, and Edidiong Mendie bring to light the different dimensions of gender-based violence in Africa, like the challenges of patriarchy, the limits of the law, and the cultural acceptance of violence against women in the private sphere. In spite of the different forms and causes of violence, it is universally recognized as a destructive force that has extensive consequences for both individuals and society as a whole. In order to combat violence, it is important to understand its root causes and foundational issues to facilitate workable solutions through a range of strategies, including education, prevention, and intervention programs. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in criminology, sociology, legal studies, African studies, and more.
