dc.description.abstract | Many women and children suffer in silence in cultures where patriarchy is condoned
and defended as the natural order of things. The inferior status ascribed women and
children where patriarchy is imbued as hypernormative, render them vulnerable to
contracting the HI-virus - as the case study cited here reveals. While government and
civil society, including the church, sometimes react when violence against women
and/or children end in the victim of violence being killed, the argument made here is
that a pro-active response may go a long way - such as addressing the patriarchy of
our (Christian) faith. | en_US |
