" Women can no longer hold back" Based on the personal experiences of women in Botswana who have suffered from various forms of violence, and not only the physical. Only one of the fourteen women interviewed was prepared to reveal her identity for fear of relation. It is hoped that these stories will help readers to understand violence from the victims' perspective and will motivate them to do their part in eradicating violence against women in Botswana.
Includes bibliographical references (p.55)
