Combat Violence against Women - Baltic-Nordic Womens Civil Society Co-operation

"The violence against women is one of our times true catastrophes. Even if thousands of women are victims the problem does not get the attention it deserves from the society, including from legislative authorites and politicians. Thats why its so important that the civil society raises their voices and put the light on the problem and demand action. This anthology is doing just that. Cooperation between several organisations around the Baltic Sea points out how to make the EU strategy for equality more effective, not the least when it comes to combatting violence against women. I hope that many decision makers as well as a concerned public read this book."
