Greetings, I am currently doing some research on the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), specifically MDG3 (promotion of gender equality).
Even though I am a religious person myself, my working hypothesis is that the human propensity to violence is rooted in pre-historical religious violence. This propensity to violence persists today in both secular and religious institutions, and is manifested as various kinds of patriarchal domination which transcend geography, culture, ethnicity, etc. Gender inequalities everywhere are the most pervasive form of violence and is (I think) the greatest obstacle to human and social development, nationally and internationally. I self-publish a free monthly newsletter that takes the MDGs as point of reference. Please take a look when time permits -- the link to the home page is under my signature below. In connection with MDG3, I am seeking good insights and data on the psychology of gender violence (in either secular or religious institutions) as a significant roadblock to human and sustainable development. I would be grateful for any suggestions or pointers. Sincerely, Luis ------------------------------------------------------------ Luis T.
