Abstract

This is an extended review of Violence and Gender Disparities against Women: A Global Scenario, edited by Anupama Vohra, Jasbir Singh, Parveen Kumari, and Barbara Wejnert (Punjab, India: White Falcon, 2022), considering the multicultural and multi-perspective nature of its authors’ research on gender disparities violence and against women and girls. The Western perspective on this pressing problem, dominant in public discourse, desensitizes us to the historical and socio-cultural aspects of violence against women and girls and its local specificity. The reviewed book is an attempt to expand this perspective to the Asian countries in a glocal approach, the result of collectively conducted and presented research effects “from home.” Thus the book is the result of mapping the issues related to violence against women and girls different regions of the world. It is also an interventionist publication that points out what we as societies still have to do to address gender violence.
