Abstract

When women are abused, human rights are violated; anything less implicitly assumes women are not human. (p.17) Acts of violence against women are mass atrocities, mass human rights violations, widespread and systematic attacks on the basis of sex, crimes against humanity pervasively unaddressed. (p. 271)
