Two new UN publications on addressing violence against women

"Programming to Address Violence Against Women: Ten Case Studies" documents United Nations Population Fund's (UNPF) experience addressing many forms of violence against women. Intended primarily for development practitioners and others seeking to change attitudes and practices, it offers lessons that can help scale up responses. Projects in Bangladesh, Colombia, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritania, Mexico, Morocco, Romania, Sierra Leone and Turkey are discussed. Some of the principles derived from the case studies are summarized in a complementary handbook, Ending Violence Against Women. Source: United Nations
