Stopping Rape
Subject
Social sciences
Description
Rape shatters lives. Its traumatising effects can linger for
many years after the immediate pain and suffering. Rape is a consequence and a cause of gender inequality. It is an injury to
health; a crime; a violation of women’s human rights; and costly to both the economy and society. Stopping rape requires changes to many policies and practices. There is no simple solution; rather, a myriad of reforms are needed to prevent rape. New policies are being innovated around
the world, north and south, which are often intended to prevent rape and to support victims/survivors simultaneously. This book provides an overview of the current best practice from around the world for ending rape.
In order to prevent rape, it is necessary to know what causes
rape. The selection of the examples of good and promising
practice in this book is guided by a theory of the causes of rape. The causal pathways that lead to rape involve many of society’s institutions. These pathways are embedded in the state and public
services, including the criminal justice system and healthcare; culture, media and education; in other forms and contexts of violence; and in the economy.
