It is no accident that employment and education – the pathway to better employment – are targeted by perpetrators as a prime means of depleting or even destroying women’s ability to be financially self-sufficient. These violent partners are denying the women who live – or once lived – with them the opportunity to be part of the revolution that has transformed the lives of recent generations of women. They are denying history as well as hurting these individual women. As a result, many women lose their livelihood. For far too many women, the escalation of violence too often means that the next thing she may lose is her life. (Authors' abstract). Record #9147
