Abstract

This Spotlight presents some of the most important publications documenting the various manifestations of violence against women in Latin America. In particular, these publications provide an overview of gender violence in different spheres (domestic, urban, etc.), the impacts of violence on women’s lives, and different measures adopted by Latin American countries to prevent, address and eradicate violence against women. These publications will be useful for practitioners, researchers and experts from other regions interested in learning about how Latin American countries understand and tackle violence against women.
