The definition starts with the economic dependence on men, as an individual, as a kin group, or as a surrogate male represented by the State which locks women into a cycle of violence. An agenda for preventing sexual coercion should enlarge the social options available to women by providing better support services and reducing economic dependence on men. The chapter recommends the following economic changes to prevent sexual coercion: unions and women's committees; comparable worth and job integration; child care services; and family and medical leave. The three effects of macroeconomic level changes on sexual coercion and long-term goals to eliminate sexual coercion conclude the chapter.
