thinking about violece against women on an instituonal level

One of the things we've been talking about throughout the semester is the intersections of race, class, and gender, how such norms are reproduced, perpetuated, and manifested in institutions such as media, the work place, etc. rather than thinking about violence as an individual act, think about violence in the same way- as an institutional manifestation of such norms. Many of the links here are links to statistical resources- view them as evidence of the extent to which violence against women (and men) is pervasive and instituonal.
