"Women have made significant inroads into politics in recent years, but in many parts of the world, their increased engagement has spurred physical attacks, intimidation, and harassment intended to deter their participation. This book provides the first comprehensive account of this phenomenon, exploring how women came to give these experiences a name - violence against women in politics - and lobbied for its increased recognition by citizens, states, and international organizations. Tracing how this concept emerged inductively on the global stage, the volume draws on research in multiple disciplines to resolve lingering ambiguities regarding its contours. It argues that this phenomenon is not simply a gendered extension of existing definitions of political violence privileging physical aggressions against political rivals. Rather, violence against women in politics is a distinct phenomenon involving a broad range of harms to attack and undermine women as political actors. Drawing on a wide range of country examples, the book illustrates what this violence looks like in practice, as well as catalogues emerging solutions around the world. Issuing a call to action, it considers how to document this phenomenon more effectively, as well as understand the political and social implications of allowing violence against women in politics to continue unabated. Highlighting the threats it poses to democracy, human rights, and gender equality, the volume concludes that tackling violence against women in politics requires ongoing dialogue and collaboration to ensure women's equal rights to participate - freely and safely - in political life around the globe"--

Das nigerianische Frauenprojekt "Project Alert On Violence Against Women" stellt diese Studie gegen Gewalt gegen Frauen in Nigeria", die über soziale und ethnische Grenzen hinaus verübt wird, als "Alarmprojekt" vor. Die Untersuchung verbindet Berichte von betroffenen Frauen mit empirischer Forschung und trägt diese in statistischen Daten zusammen. Als Grundlage dienen die UN Deklaration von 1993 und die 1979 beschlossene "Konvention zur Eliminierung aller Formen der Diskriminierung von Frauen (CEDAW)". Die Autorinnen definieren die Gewalt gegen Frauen und stellen einen Forderungskatalog auf. (DÜI-Gbd)
