Gender-Based Violence: Social Implications for Health

By Cersosimo Giuseppina

The central issue of this volume is violence against women and young girls as part of symbolic or systemic violence, overt or subtle, and its impact on their health and general well-being. Recognised as a determinant of health, violence has been aptly described as a silent epidemic affecting women not only in Europe but globally.
This book aims to provide an additional platform for discussing the issue of violence against women and young girls, with a particular focus on its impact on health. The central question of this volume is the nature of interdisciplinary studies on gender violence, bringing together sociologists, lawyers, psychologists, anthropologists and biologists.
