- Summary
- Violence against women is a global outrage. The experience or threat of violence affects the lives of women everywhere, cutting across boundaries of wealth, race and culture. In the home and in the community, in times of war and peace, women are beaten, raped, mutilated and killed with impunity. Breaking new ground in the work of Amnesty International, It’s in our hands: Stop violence against women investigates causes, forms and remedies, and highlights the responsibility of the state, the community and individuals for taking action to end violence against women.
