A Cross National Examination of the Relationship Between Social Progress and Gender Violence

• In Event: Poster Session II

Abstract

Even in the most economically developed and modern nations women experience disparities in the workplace, in religious and social life. Some scholars argue that women experience victimization and violence in ways that equally disparate. This project explores the relationship between relative levels of social progress and the ways in which women in a given nation experience victimization and violence.
