Teaching Pack: Case-Based Lessons on Violence Against Women and Girls

2017

This teaching pack explores how factors within a society influence women’s health, in particular gender-based violence, at both the societal and individual levels, and examines the critical role of leadership in effecting positive change. By reading three short cases, each of which illustrates an example of gender-based violence in a specific cultural context, students can analyze the circumstances that placed each protagonist in vulnerable positions; examine the commonalities and differences of these situations in an effort to understand the circumstances that affect women’s well-being; and explore the connections between collective outrage, reactive action, and leadership.

The teaching pack includes an instructor’s note, three short case studies with accompanying discussion guides, an annotated bibliography, and a select glossary of terms.
