This book gives an overview of the socio-legal and political approaches taken in relation to rape across nine countries worldwide. It is written at a time in which many governments have begun to take rape more seriously than in the past and have started to implement wide-ranging reforms.This is therefore an ideal time to describe what that range of reforms has been, and to assess the degree to which they have been successful. In this introductory chapter, we briefly introduce ourselves and the chapters that follow, while pulling out some of the themes that cut across the chapters.
