The gap in the gender gap [electronic resource] : violence against women in Canada / Kate McInturff.

McInturff, Kate Elaine, 1968- (author.). Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, (publisher.). Canadian Electronic Library (Firm), (distributor.).

Summary:

Much has been made of Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg's advice to women to 'lean in' in order to achieve full representation in leadership positions - in politics, in business, and in their communities. However, it is more than a crisis of confidence keeping women from making it to the top. It is also the high level of violence they are experiencing. The World Health Organization estimates that 1 in 4 women in Canada will experience intimate partner violence or sexual violence in her lifetime.
