Opis

This book is inspired by the fact that Gender Based Violence is a world- wide concern that affects people from all ages, races, economic and socio-cultural backgrounds. Men make the bulk of perpetrators of gender based violence and women make the bulk of the victims. However, men can also be victims and women, perpetrators. The book explores ways and means through which men can become part of the solutions to this global challenge.
