Summary
We live at a moment when violence against women has never been so visible, when, despite the various achievements of gender equality, cruelty against women – whether in the form of rape as a war crime, domestic abuse, sexual harassment, so-called ‘honour-based’ violence, female genital surgery – has never been so prominently in the public eye. There was a time when such violence against women was almost exclusively addressed by radical feminists.
