Gewaltfrei arbeiten und leben

Violence and harassment at the workplace – not only, but especially against women – are still an important issue. Despite societal awareness, women experience violence particularly frequently at work and in their private lives/families. What does violence mean in these contexts? The authors discuss theoretical foundations, empirical findings, and political options for action from sociological, political science, psychological, nursing science, jurisprudence, and practice-oriented perspectives. In this way, an interdisciplinary ‘kaleidoscopic picture’ of different violent situations, explanatory patterns, and consequences unfolds.
