Synopsis

This book investigates anti-violence policies in international development, demonstrating that strategies intended to end violence against women are constructed to serve ends other than the needs of women. Through careful consideration of anti-violence initiatives--including ""The Hillary Doctrine,"" the World Bank's ""The Cost of Violence,"" and the United Nation's ""UNiTE To End Violence Against Women"" campaigns -- Corinne Mason shows how these projects are technocratic, depoliticized, and executed in a manner that serves the interest of neoliberal economic growth and security concerns, at the expense of a more holistic, effective, and accountable approach.
