This text uses the United Nations Security Council’s Resolution 1325 (UNSCR 1325) on Women, Peace and Security in Eastern and Southern Africa as a framework to present the causes and impacts of VAW and to trace the journey of sub-Saharan African countries toward gender equality. It also provides an overview of the policy and legislative frameworks that underpin the progress, challenges, and achievements of addressing VAW based on four key pillars: prevention, protection, participation, and relief and recovery. Chapters provide a wealth of knowledge, as the book draws on academic literature; national, regional, and international legislations; and data collected from field research, and makes use of end-of-chapter discussion questions and quick study guides.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eStudents will come away equipped with the tools, resources, and knowledge necessary to address and fix VAW in sub-Saharan Africa and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSECTION I: FOUNDATIONS OF WOMEN, PEACE AND SECURITY DEVELOPMENT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Introduction\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Born Equal Theory of Change  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Women in Contemporary Developmental Thought \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Gender Perspectives in Peace and Conflict\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Global and Regional Peace and Security Frameworks \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSECTION II: WOMEN, VIOLENCE AND SOCIETY: CHALLENGES AND ISSUES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Women, Politics and Violence \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Masculinity in Congolese Society \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Women and Violent Extremism \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Implementation of the UNSCR 1325: Critical Reflections\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSECTION III: STRATEGIES \u003ci\u003efor\u003c\/i\u003e COMBATING VIOLENCE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Prevention of Violence Against Women \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 11: Women’s Participation in Peace Making Processes \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 12: Protection of Women from Violence   \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 13: Gender-Responsive Budgeting as A Strategy Against Violence \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 14: Conclusion-What the Future Holds\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAppendices \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eGlossary\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndex \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48889012552023,"sku":"9783030710941","price":33.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783030710941.jpg?v=1722552262","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/understanding-violence-against-women-in-africa-an-interdisciplinary-approach-9783030710941","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
