ACSSA Research Summary, no. 7, June 2014
Key messages:
■Gender inequality is cited as a key determinant or factor that underpins violence against women - the connection, however, is complex and requires consideration from different perspectives.
■An ecological framework provides a strong basis for a prevention/public health approach to violence against women by enabling the interaction of social and other influences to be examined.
■Implementation of gender equality policies should include consideration of other sources and intersections of disadvantage, such as class and race, which may compound gender disadvantage.
■More research is required to understand which aspects of gender inequality have the most impact on violence against women.
■Gender equality goes beyond economics to include less tangible factors such as the relative social status of unequal groups, social norms and attitudes.(from the webpage)
