Hidden Violence Against Women in East and West GermanyInsights into forced detentions and systemic abuse highlight women's struggles in the DDR and West Germany up to the 1990s.
- Martina Blankenfeld describes forced institutionalization in the GDR targeting women labeled as deviants and subjected to abuse.
- Claudia Igney emphasizes that traditional family roles in West Germany fostered structural violence against women.
- Despite legal reforms, sexist violence persists as a widespread everyday issue beyond extreme cases.
