Violence has been described as a universal challenge that is rooted in the social formation process. As humans seek to exert power on the other, conflict occurs. Gender based violence, immigration, and religious values have often intersected where patriarchy-based power is exerted on the other. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn international panel of contributors take a multidisciplinary approach to investigating three central themes.
