‘A comprehensive volume on how violence against women impacts countries’ economies and hinders development.’ — Dr Silvana Tapia Tapia, Associate Professor in Law, Birmingham Law School.

‘The study of violence against women has moved beyond the borders of individual countries, so this book with its cross-national focus will be a welcome addition to the literature. Utilizing concepts and methods that have been developed by the authors, the book focuses on the macro-economic impact of violence against women, at the societal level, and in the context of the Global South. It will find an academic audience at the intersection of gender studies, economics and sociology, as well as political science, criminology, and law.

Prabha Unnithan, Sociology, Colorado State University.
