Defeating Domestic Violence in the Americas: Men's Work

Domestic violence has been with us a very long time - it has a beginning and it must have an ending. The pace of change has been slow because men have failed to take responsibility for ending the violence. This book challenges men to take that responsibility seriously, especially the men in government throughout the region. The focus is the Americas since the problem of violence is most urgent there, where 42 of the world's 50 most violent cities are located. The possibilities for progressive governments in the region to take up the proposed solutions are realistic and imperative.
