With an End in Sight

With an End in Sight

Author/Editor(s): Cheywa Spindel, Elisa Levy, Melissa Connor

Do you believe that a problem as common and as widespread as violence against women can be brought to an end? Yes. People around the world have come together and committed themselves to creating a safer future for generations to come.

"With an End in Sight" narrates some of these inspiring stories. It shows how groups of people, young and old, women and men are forging ahead and creating new ideas to combat violence against women. The stories compiled in this book represent the extraordinary efforts that create the vast energy for change. It presents lessons and good practices that can be used as a knowledge tool, to be used worldwide.

The report is organized in three broad chapters, each reflecting a focus area in previously implemented projects: building community commitment, forging partnerships with police and judiciary and developing public and institutional support through research and advocacy. Within each chapter are case studies, which provide an overview, description and analysis of the project. In the conclusion of each chapter, insightful knowledge from specific strategies is provided.

"With an End in Sight" tells of the successful, as well as the unsuccessful, stories to provide knowledge, insight and hope of how violence against women can be eliminated with combined effort, compelling advocacy, and wide-reaching education.
