Gender Equality Measurement ( Gem )
نویسنده
چکیده
The workshop started with Doris Buss introducing the issues surrounding “the measurement of violence against women,” and its significance for public services, feminist organizations and scholars. The importance and the limits of measuring violence against women are varied; in some contexts, requirements to measure can impose burdens on overworked activists and service providers, and the production of data can be linked to increased surveillance. In other contexts, the production of data on violence against women can be invaluable in the ongoing struggle to strengthen legal and political action. On this note, Doris Buss posed the question: “How could we work together as activists and scholars to address this issue?” to the panel participants.
