Este libro va dirigido a todos aquellos educadores que tienen la responsabilidad de mediar, en términos educativos, en los conflictos sociales que tienen su origen en la desigualdad. Su planteamiento no es meramente sensibilizador e informativo, sino que ofrece experiencias y propuestas educativas orientadas al diseño de acciones concretas en este campo. Género e interculturalidad: educar para la igualdad es un libro extremadamente representativo de los temas y formas de pensar y hacer actuales en relación a los temas educativos, intentando algo tan necesario como ofrecer las respuestas acertadas, dibujar los caminos y trazar un nuevo mapa. Porque hoy la lucha por la igualdad en la escuela felizmente ya no pasa por la gratuidad o la escuela para todas y todos, sino por la elaboración de una cultura comprensiva en la que no se vete a los niños la ternura, a las niñas el protagonismo o a los jóvenes inmigrantes el futuro.
International Approaches to Rape gives an overview of rape law and policy in nine different countries, including the United States and Canada. Many governments have begun to take rape more seriously than in the past and have started to implement wide-ranging reforms; this book describes those reforms and assesses the degree to which they have been successful. Introducing readers to various national perspectives on rape, the contributors outline a comparative approach that highlights the similarities and differences between countries, contexts, laws, issues, policies, and interventions.

Until recently, higher education in the UK has largely failed to recognise gender-based violence (GBV) on campus, but following the UK government task force set up in 2015, universities are becoming more aware of the issue. And recent cases in the media about the sexualised abuse of power in institutions such as universities, Parliament and Hollywood highlight the prevalence and damaging impact of GBV. In this book, academics and practitioners provide the first in-depth overview of research and practice in GBV in universities. They set out the international context of ideologies, politics and institutional structures that underlie responses to GBV in elsewhere in Europe, in the US, and in Australia, and consider the implications of implementing related policy and practice. Presenting examples of innovative British approaches to engagement with the issue, the book also considers UK, EU and UN legislation to give an international perspective, making it of direct use to discussions of ‘what works’ in preventing GBV.
This book offers a comprehensive guide to the international policies developed to stop rape, together with case studies on their effectiveness in practice. Engaging with the legal and criminal justice systems, health services, specialized services for victim-survivors, educational and cultural outreach, and more, it brings together both theory and real-world evidence to build a thorough picture of worldwide efforts to fight rape in all its contexts.
What are men doing in feminist discourse? Although many feminists have commented on the relation, actual or possible, of men to feminist thinking and practice, and although some male academics have written about feminism, there has so far been little shared discussion. Men in Feminism is the first substantial attempt to produce a dialogue between feminists and their male allies. This lively book, comprised of essays by both men and women, is a controversial sally in the current debate over the future of feminist theory. Its focus is one seemingly direct and yet surprisingly prickly question: the actual and potential relationship of men to the now impressive and widely recognized body of femi...
