Produktbeschreibung
An attempt will be made through this book to examine the severity of Domestic Violence against women in Egypt in light of the patriarchal structures in place vis a vis "state capacity" in terms of the ability of the state to respond; with a particular emphasis on the institutional framework under which domestic violence takes place. The main argument made is that patriarchy has been a key element in shaping or molding the foundations and institutions that administer or run society, and for these patriarchal foundations to be kept up, violence or an unconscious threat of it is required against any entity that challenges it including and especially women. This book will focus primarily on violence among family members, more specifically; acts of violence by males against females in Egypt.
