TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Sickening Relationships: Gender-Based Violence, Women’s Health, and the Role of Informal Third Parties JO - Journal of social and personal relationships A1 - Klein, Renate SP - 149 EP - 165 VL - 21 IS - 1 N2 - Over the last two decades, two trends have emerged that highlight the relational and communal dimensions of health and well-being. The Ottawa Charter of 1986 proposed a model of health that encompasses personal, social, and environmental well-being and emphasizes the role of communities in creating healthy living conditions. In a parallel development, battered women’s advocates identified violence against women as a major health issue, and situated effective interventions within coordinated community response strategies. Both trends point to the significance of social networks and a wide range of social and personal relationships in the promotion of women’s health and well-being.
