Book Synopsis Reconciled to Violence State Failure to Stop Domestic Abuse and Abduction of Women in Kyrgyzstan by : Acacia Shields
Book excerpt: "This 140-page report concludes that although Kyrgyzstan has progressive laws on violence against women, police and other authorities fail to implement them. As a result, women remain in danger and without access to justice. Based on in-depth, firsthand interviews with victims of violence, the report tells the stories of women who have been kicked, strangled, beaten, stabbed and sexually assaulted by their husbands. The report also tracks what happens when women seek help from the authorities. Instead of attaining safety and access to justice, they are encouraged to reconcile with their abusers."--Publisher's website.
