Through a narrative research approach, Maria Holt compares a range of settings and experiences, arguing that (1) violence against women tends to increase during periods of conflict; (2) such practices are legitimized by an already existing environment in which violence against women is tolerated; (3) women are building strategies, both at local and regional levels, to combat and eliminate violence, thus enabling them to play a more constructive role in processes of conflict resolution and post-conflict reconstruction; and (4) the greater the commitment by public authorities to creating sound local frameworks to address violence against women the stronger will be Arab women's ability to resist conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Telling a Shattered Story\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: The War Story\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Violence Against Women in an Insecure State: A Case Study of Lebanon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Three: Violence Against Women in a Society Under Stress: Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Four: Gender and Violence in Revolution: Women and the “Arab Spring” Uprisings\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Five: The Complex and Multi-layered Narratives of Women: Violence in War-Torn Societies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion: The Court of Public Opinion\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040879640919,"sku":"9781498598859","price":84.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781498598859.jpg?v=1750948156","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/violence-against-women-in-peace-and-war-9781498598859","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
