One of the things that this book attempts is to provide a forum of interaction between these two genres of gender researchers through the introduction of some ‘non-conventional’ indicators of gender bias designed to measure gender-related stress, anxiety and violence, which can be then be mapped onto the other, more conventional ones.
Apart from bringing in the dimension of gender-based mental health issues within a tractable form of inquiry, which is important in itself, we feel this will serve to provide a common platform for a wider group of people interested in gender issues to interact with one another. The book is published by the International Development Research Centre.
