	Domestic violence knows no boundaries, and many of\&nbsp;the stories and findings included in this report could\&nbsp;describe the experiences of women in virtually any\&nbsp;country. Too often, women{\textquoteright}s subordinate status allows\&nbsp;violence to occur in silence and prevents women from\&nbsp;seizing opportunities. For this report, the IRC has\&nbsp;chosen to focus on West Africa in order to demonstrate\&nbsp;how this global problem becomes acute in post-conflict\&nbsp;countries, keeping women from leading their societies\&nbsp;to peace and prosperity. The destruction of war creates\&nbsp;a particularly dangerous situation for women that the\&nbsp;humanitarian community can no longer ignore.
