About the Forum

This Forum will look at issues such as:

• Are there deeply rooted social norms that perpetuate male control over women?

• Do we concentrate more on seeking remedies for survivors of domestic violence rather than eliminating the root cause of such violence?

• Can we dream of a world without domestic violence?
