Annotated Bibliography on Violence Against Women: A Health and Human Rights Concern

This bibliography is produced by the World Health Organization’s Global Commission on Women’s Health. It was prepared by Rights and Humanity in collaboration with Women, Health and Development and the Global Commission on Women’s Health. Part of the World Health Organization (WHO) mandate is to understand and work with concepts about women’s health that for many people in the health field may be new and unfamiliar. The idea that sex and gender have a vital bearing on health, and the nexus between violence against women as a health and human rights concern is such a topic.
