Within our Reach: Preventing Abuse Across the Lifespan - Edited by Christine A. Ateah and Janet Mirwaldt

Violence can be experienced at any age. The contributions to Within our Reach look at violence and abuse across the lifespan and discuss programs and policies designed to prevent such violence. Each chapter is co-authored by an academic and a community practitioner and addresses specific issues, highlighting the effects of violence associated with an age group. These include the physical punishment of children, sibling violence, bullying and other abusive behaviours occurring in childhood, dating violence, intimate violence experienced by immigrant women and abuse of the elderly.

Although violence and abuse are ongoing, Within our Reach addresses many important efforts directed toward prevention that give rise to optimism that violence can be ended.

Being Heard: The Experiences of Young Women in Prostitution - Edited by Kelly Gorkoff and Jane Runner

Being Heard examines, from their own perspectives and experiences, the lives of young women sexually exploited through prostitution. Putting their voices at the centre of its analysis, this book helps us more fully understand their experiences, the complex issues of sex-trade work and the best ways to respond to the issues. Beginning with a discussion of what little we know about youth prostitution, subsequent chapters address young women's experiences with community and government programs, issues of self-identity, health and safety concerns, experiences of violence, factors that push young women into and may draw them out of sex-trade work, and the effectiveness of Canadian legislation in coming to the aid of young prostitutes.

Reclaiming Self: issues and resources for women abused by intimate partners
Edited by Leslie M. Tutty and Carolyn Goard

Abuse of women by intimate partners is a significant problem in Canadian society. The critical issues facing abused women include the resources, such as shelters and support groups, available to assist them in being safe. This book considers the many aspects of supporting and providing safety for women who experience abuse. Each chapter presents the results of recent Canadian research and documents the voices of women who share their experiences of having been abused by an intimate partner. Some authors focus on government polices, such as the criminal justice response and child protection services, which affect a woman's ability to safely leave an abusive relationship. One chapter discusses the issues raised by the experiences of women abused by lesbian partners. Future challenges faced by abused women and the services and policies designed to protect them conclude the book.
