Against Domestic Violence: The Interaction of Global Networks with Local Activism in Central Europe

Katalin Fábián

A chapter in European Responses to Globalization, 2006, pp 111-152 from Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Abstract: The international women's movement has always focused on discrimination against women, but only in the past few decades have activists paid special attention to domestic violence. In post-communist Europe, it took even longer but the Polish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, and Slovene governments eventually reacted to domestic and global pressure and established new definitions and norms dealing with domestic violence. Analyzing the process of norm development on domestic violence in Central Europe can direct us toward determining to what extent political and economic processes and decisions in Europe are driving globalization, or are being driven by globalization.
