Book Description
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2015. The gradual demystification of sexuality leads to its slow departure from long date traditional honour codes. This evolution in thought and in attitude allows one to observe new—and not so new—mentalities and behaviours. Sexuality is indeed a social construct that can encompass physical and/or symbolic domination and viciousness. It concerns women and children, as well as men. It involves every culture, every country, and every population. This anthology presents interdisciplinary studies with a human rights based approach from researchers and social workers around the world. The essays discuss sexual violence and its social ramifications and violence against various sexualities. It aims at elucidating not only contemporary, historical, and social facts related to sexual exploitation and sexual violence, but also discourses that perpetuate sexual oppression. Moreover, it offers the reader insights into prevention methods and last, but not least, it presents individual and collective creative tools to combat sexual domination.
