December Green analyzes acts of gender violence as they occur in one region, to uncover the dynamics that both perpetuate the abuses and enable women to survive them. Green compares the effects of gender violence throughout sub-Saharan Africa to illustrate the range of experiences between and within the countries of the region. The study focuses not only on the abuses themselves, or describing how African women can be saved, but also looks at African women's responses in the study of gender violence. She offers a unique perspective on human rights violations.
Green describes gender violence itself as a multilayered phenomenon operating within three contexts: the family, the economy, and the state.
