Re: Requesting teaching resources about violence against women



The following curriculum has great book listing:

Gender violence/gender justice by Nan Stein and Dominic Cappello. The
curriculum breaks the readings up into the following categories:
Boundaries, Friendship, Violence, Hazing, and Courage.

Within the Violence Chapter:  The book readings are broken down into more
categories: relationships, hazing, violence, dominance, power,
partnerships, jealousy, transformation, independence, sexual abuse and
verbal abuse

Examples:
