Description:
Health care organizations are in a key position to break the silence and offer critical care to women who might otherwise face violence and its health consequences for many years. Health professionals are often the earliest point of contact for survivors of gender-based violence. They are also in a unique position to change societal attitudes by reframing violence as a health problem. [from author]
