> ".............The book provides a strategy and concrete approaches for
> addressing the complex problem of violence against women, not only for
those
> on the front lines attending to the women who live with violence, but also
> for the decision-makers who may incorporate the lessons in the development
> of policies and resources. For those communities where support for women
> does not yet exist, the authors hope that this book will motivate health
> providers and leaders to more directly confront the issue of
gender-related
> violence and ensure support to affected women in resolving their
> situation....."
