Peckover, Susan. "Regulation and resistance : an analysis of the practices of health visitors and women experiencing domestic violence." Thesis, University of Warwick, 1998. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/36332/.
Full textAbstract:
The titular themes of "regulation" and "resistance" provide a conceptual and theoretical framework for this research, which examines health visiting work in relation to women experiencing domestic violence. These themes, which are threaded throughout the study, arise from the feminist poststructuralist analysis underpinning this research. This draws attention towards the issues of power and knowledge, which are key sites for this analysis of the practices of health visitors and women experiencing domestic violence. Understanding health visiting in terms of the social regulation of mothers enables the analysis to focus upon the ambiguities and contradictions that arise from the double bind of welfare and surveillance inherent within health visiting work with women. These tensions are particularly visible in the context of domestic violence, where different understandings about male violence and abuse against women are associated with different practices. In particular, the feminist discourses about domestic violence that underpin this research and which are represented as "resistance", have made little impact upon the professional health visiting knowledge-base. The study draws upon qualitative data from semi-structured interviews with 24 health visitors, and 16 women with young children who have experienced domestic violence. It examines the practices through which health visitors "get to know" about women's experiences of domestic violence, and the extent that they were able to offer support or protection. The women who participated in this research all faced a number of difficulties in seeking help about domestic violence. These included dilemmas about disclosing their experiences to health visitors, as well as inadequate responses once they had broken their silence. The findings suggest that an urgent response, at the policy and practice level, is required to enable health visitors to improve their practices with women experiencing domestic violence.

Syftet med studien var att ta reda på socialsekreterares upplevelser om hur coronapandemin bidragit till våld i hemmet, samt hur de arbetade mot det under rådande omständigheter. Det var en kvalitativ studie med semistrukturerad intervju som datainsamlingsmetod. Åtta stycken socialsekreterare intervjuades och den insamlade datan analyserades genom tematisk analys. De teoretiska ramarna som applicerades vid analysering i denna studie var intersektionalitet och systemteori. Resultat visade att orosanmälningar hade ökat sedan utbrottet av coronapandemin med en tydlighet att oron hade varit våldsrelaterat. Resultat visade även att genomförandet av bedömningar och utredningar hos socialtjänsten begränsades på grund av restriktioner. Med en systemteoretisk teoriram kunde en slutsats dras att coronapandemin var en relevant bidragande faktor till familjerelaterat våld.The aim of the study was to find out social workers' experiences of how the corona pandemic contributed to domestic violence, as well as how they worked against it under the prevailing circumstances. It was a qualitative study with a semi-structured interview as a data collection method. Eight social secretaries were interviewed, and the collected data was analyzed through a thematic analysis. The theoretical frameworks applied in the analysis in this study were intersectionality and systems theory. Results showed that reports of concern had increased since the outbreak of the corona pandemic with a clarity that the reports had been violence related. Results also showed that the implementation of assessments and investigations carried out by the social services was limited due to restrictions. With a systematic theoretical framework, it could be concluded that the corona pandemic was a highly relevant contributing factor to family-related violence.

Full textAbstract:
This commentary outlines how my published works have contributed to knowledge on violence against black and minority ethnic (BME) or minority women in the UK, particularly in relation to domestic violence, forced marriage and so called 'honour' based violence (HBV). They help to define and enhance our understanding of these issues. In addition, they have critiqued multiculturalism and influenced, advocated and developed the former Home Office Minister, Mike O'Brien's concept of 'mature multiculturalism' (Parliamentary Debates, 1999; also cited in Home Office, 2000:10), and utilised the theoretical framework of intersectionality (Crenshaw, 1989 and 1991) to address these problems. I have also located my works within the framework of violence against women and girls (VAWG), secularism, equalities and human rights. My publications have reflected upon and influenced policy, practice and research, and as such, contributed to documenting the history and achievements of black feminism.

Brown, Eleanor. "Women and children's experiences of domestic violence." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2014. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/64308/.
Full textAbstract:
Chapter One examines the literature on children’s experiences of domestic violence. The research reviewed indicates that within the same family children can have different experiences of domestic violence. Within the literature five common themes were identified; children’s experiences of abuse, responses to and effects of domestic violence, coping and sense making, impact on relationships and access to services and support. Children consistently experienced feelings of fear towards the perpetrator and a sense of responsibility for their mother’s well-being. Further qualitative research was recommended to identify different children’s resilience’s. Chapter Two explores the unique perspective of mother’s experiences of their relationship with their children within the context of domestic violence. IPA analysis indicated that domestic violence led the women to experience shame and see themselves as a ‘bad mother’. They attempted to distance themselves against this uncomfortable emotion by experiencing their child as a ‘bad child’. There were areas of resilience and agency as the women interviewed altered their parenting style and consequently their relationship with their child once leaving the relationship. Chapter Three provides reflections on the research journey. This includes the author’s experiences of methodological and ethical issues relating to conducting research with women who have experienced domestic violence, particularly with regards to the utilization of the principles of feminist and empowering methods.

Katz, Emma. "Surviving together : domestic violence and mother-child relationships." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2015. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/28456/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores how mothers and children in the UK are affected by domestic violence, resist it, and actively support one another's recoveries. The focus extends beyond 'incidents' of physical violence, into the commonplace, the subtle and the everyday. This thesis shows that supportive mother-child relationships may enhance the well-being and recoveries of both mothers and children. It highlights the need to expand professional supports that repair and strengthen mother-child relationships. The study is located on different theoretical ground from most research in the domestic violence field. Usually, within the field, mothers' parenting is seen as promoting or not promoting resilience in their (passive) children. Often, children supporting mothers is seen as inappropriate and indicative of children taking on 'adult roles' or being 'parentified'. There has been little attention to the ways that children, along with mothers, may be active in producing the strong, supportive mother-child relationships that promote resilience and well-being. By contrast, this study conceptualises children, along with mothers, as active contributors to mother-child relationships. Mutual supports between mothers and children are viewed as potentially positive and productive. Thirty participants, 15 mothers and 15 children (aged 10-20) from the UK with experiences of domestic violence, were interviewed for this study. These interviews were conducted using a semi-structured, feminist-informed approach. Participants were recruited through organisations that support those with experiences of domestic violence, using a combination of purposive and snowball sampling. All participants were residing in the community, and the majority had never accessed refuge services. Ethical approval to conduct the study was granted by the University of Nottingham. This thesis presents findings that show how children supported mothers, while mothers continued to parent and support their children. The children and mothers interviewed described supporting each other in multiple ways. During the domestic violence, helpful supports could occur even as mothers and children struggled to communicate about what was happening and suffered negative behavioural and mental health impacts. Some mother-child relationships were more strained than others during this period. This study identifies five factors that influenced the extent of the damage caused to mother-child relationships during the domestic violence. These factors centred on the behaviours of perpetrators/fathers (their treatment of the children, the types of abuse they perpetrated, and the extent to which they undermined mother-child relationships) and the impacts of these behaviours on mothers and children. In the post-separation violence phase, children and mothers were on the 'frontlines' of each other's recoveries. Often, they acted as 'recovery-promoters' for one another, especially when they had received professional supports that repaired and strengthened their relationships. Recovery-promotion frequently occurred in subtle, everyday, age-appropriate ways not usually considered in previous research, including the giving of compliments and praise and 'having fun' together. However, mothers and children also described exchanging some supports that may have been more problematic, and not all mothers and children were able to support one another to the same extent. Based on these findings, this thesis proposes a framework for identifying the different levels and contexts of supports exchanged by mothers and children, and their complex, varied impacts. This framework has utility for future research, policy and practice with domestic violence survivors.

Full textAbstract:
Volume I is divided into two papers. The first is a literature review that explored the emotional experience of professionals who work with victims of domestic violence. Twelve papers are evaluated and the evidence of negative and positive effects is presented. The second is a qualitative study with young people, their mothers and their grandmothers which explored resilience after domestic violence. Data was analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Four themes regarding the memories of domestic violence, newfound stability, acceptance and strength and continued and re-scripted attachments were found. Volume II consists of five reports. The first describes the assessment of a 13-year-old boy with low self-esteem. His needs and strengths are formulated from two approaches: cognitive-behavioural and systemic. The next discusses a behavioural intervention and single case experimental design for a 15-year-old male presenting with challenging behaviours. The third paper outlines a Person Centred Care training program for staff working with older adults. The fourth is a case study of two siblings in local authority care. To consider care-plans, a formulation is informed by the complex trauma literature. The final report was an oral presentation of an admission assessment of a young woman in a high secure hospital.

Full textAbstract:
Take that woman explores social issues as a piece of mainstream fiction. The story
revolves around realistic characters, in a contemporary setting, facing situations which
many people encounter in their lives. The piece isn't didactic. Nor does it force-feed
the reader; rather it provides information in bite-sized pieces so it can be easily digested.
Take that woman is the story of a group of people brought together by a wedding. Set
in the present, the action takes place in Canberra on a day in early November. The story
moves between Australia and England, between the present and the past as it examines
the conflicts the day generates for the couple's families and friends.
Not only does the wedding serve as a device to bring the characters together, it also
highlights the seriousness of the issues being explored.
The account is a fictional piece as fiction can be an effective communication tool.
Information is disseminated in different forms through a variety of media, both
electronic and print. But, however widely, or creatively, the material is distributed,
there is nothing to ensure the recipient will read or understand the information.
Mainstream fiction can be a means of raising awareness about serious social issues, of
changing attitudes, and, ultimately, behaviours.
The research for the piece involved a search of literature, films and videos, and relevant
websites. It also consisted of personal interviews with subject experts, workers in the
field of domestic violence, and people who have been exposed to violence in their own
relationships.

Nathan, Aleah Leann. "The Power of Love: Attachment Style in the Battered Woman Syndrome." NSUWorks, 2011. http://nsuworks.nova.edu/cps_stuetd/56.
Full textAbstract:
One of the most debated constituents of intimate partner violence pertains to attachment theory. Although, attachment theory can provide a theoretical framework for understanding the linkage between childhood family experiences and subsequent experiences with partner violence, there are controversial perspectives as to whether attachment style is stable from childhood to adulthood (Bowlby, 1973, 1980, 1982) or if attachment style can be formulated directly from adult abusive relationships (Caspi & Elder, 1988; Ricks, 1985). Therefore, the purpose of this research was to explore how attachment style presents in the Battered Woman Syndrome, determine if the battered woman's attachment style is consistent throughout childhood to adulthood or if it is manifested due to intimate partner violence exposure as well as to determine how attachment style is manifested in interpersonal functioning and perceived power and control. The theory of learned helplessness (Seligman, 1975) was used as a conceptual model for understanding why battered women remain in abusive relationships. There were 137 female sample participants who reported a history of domestic violence. Measures administered included the Battered Woman Syndrome Questionnaire (BWSQ, Walker, 1978) that assessed childhood history, interpersonal functioning and power and control and the Revised Adult Attachment Scale (Collins and Read, 1996) that assessed the participant's attachment style. Statistical techniques employed included latent class analysis, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and logistic regression. Results indicated that aversive childhood environment (as measured primarily by childhood battering variables) and involvement in adulthood abusive relationships were significantly related to childhood environment and involvement in adulthood abusive relationships. Across all five adulthood battering episodes there were significant overall effects of attachment style on sexual abuse scores. Results also confirmed the hypotheses that insecurely attached participants were more likely to report more interpersonal functioning difficulties and lower perceived power and control when compared to secure participants. Implications for future research are also presented.

Full textAbstract:
Some studies have shown that children who witness domestic violence against a family member or experience physical, emotional, or sexual abuse will often display behavioral risk factors such as increased suicidal ideation. Using social learning as the theoretical basis, this study examined factors that are associated with suicidal ideation in children of domestic violence, such as witnessing domestic violence, experiencing physical, emotional and sexual abuse, and experiencing abuse perpetrated by a parental figure. Results showed that while witnessing domestic violence alone did not affect suicidal ideation, the combination of witnessing domestic violence and being sexually abused was strongly associated with suicidal ideation, as was having a perpetrator who was a stepparent, and having a perpetrator who was a parental figure who threatened suicide and/or homicide. Implications for further research are addressed.

Lapierre, Simon. "Taking the blame? : women's experiences of mothering in the context of domestic violence." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2007. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/2435/.
Full textAbstract:
This pro-feminist study aimed at developing an understanding of mothering in the context of domestic violence in contemporary Britain. Despite more than three decades of feminist activism and scholarship in'the field of domestic violence and a broad and detailed understanding of women's experiences of abuse by their intimate partners, little has been written on mothering in this context, particularly from women's experiences. Moreover, a critical evaluation of the literature in the field of domestic violence revealed a tendency to draw upon a deficit model of mothering and to blame abused women in regard to their mothering. This study was located within a research agenda that builds on women's experiences and efforts in order to overcome mother-blaming. It was based upon a qualitative and participa'tive methodology, and five group interviews and 20 individual interviews were carried out with a total of 26 women. It focused on women's experiences of mothering through domestic violence as well as during and after the separation process, and located these experiences within a comprehensive understanding of the institution of motherhood. The findings from this study extend the understanding of the difficulties involved in mothering in the context of domestic violence, which are due to the interaction between the particular context created by the violence and the ideologies and structures that underpin the institution of motherhood. Furthermore, the findings challenge a deficit model of mothering in the context of domestic violence, and demonstrate that women who have experienced domestic violence typically strive to be 'good' mothers and develop a range of strategies in their attempts to meet the standards that underpin the dominant social construction of 'good' mothering. The findings from this study also demonstrated that women are able to identify positive support, but their experiences more often tend to emphasise the failure of such support to materialise. These findings have major implications in terms of supporting women through their experiences of mothering in the context of domestic violence.

Full textAbstract:
Police officer responses to incidents of domestic violence have received widespread criticism in recent years, but the focus of most studies on this topic has been on the experiences of victims and the work of police units established specifically to deal with domestic violence. As a consequence, the responses of front-line officers have received less attention. In particular, the ways in which they perceive and respond to domestic violence as they develop their careers within the police service are almost entirely unresearched. With this in mind, the aim of this research was precisely to map the shifts and changes (if any) in police officers' reactions and responses to domestic violence incidents during their first three years in service. Where previous researchers have examined officers' response to domestic violence in one temporal dimension and others have considered issues of acculturation and socialisation, the uniqueness of this research is in the way in which it has synthesised both these elements in the production of a more complex longitudinal study. Thus the research is informed by the experiences and perceptions of seven officers from their first day as a member of a Constabulary, through to their completion of three years' service. Observation of their probationer training and of the officers on duty, the design and completion of semi-structured interviews and the use of hypothetical scenarios comprise the primary research tools, with additional insights being gained through semi-structured interviews with the officers' tutor constables. The rich and deep insights that emerged from the fieldwork were made possible because of the development and maintenance of a relationship with a small number of officers over the period of three years. My status as a full-time employee of the Constabulary benefited me enormously in this regard. Through the development of this work, I have drawn from a variety of methodological and theoretical approaches but have been mostly persuaded by theories focused on aspects of feminism and symbolic interactionism. Using theories of power and gender in the context of domestic violence and applying these to observations made of the masculine organisational sub-culture of the police service, enables a picture to emerge of officers' explicit and implicit absorption of sub-cultural values, how they learn from their own experiences, how they learn to deal with domestic violence incidents from peers and colleagues, and influences of the training orientation and content. More specifically, I argue that as an organisation, the police service (through its staff) does little to extend officers' understanding of domestic violence either theoretically or actually. There was (and continued to be) a clear lack of recognition by the study's participants of the gendered power relations inherent in most incidents of domestic violence. The study considered the content and form of probationer domestic violence training in this regard and concludes by drawing attention to the importance of officers' tacit knowledge, or in other words, their understanding of domestic violence as a result of their societal socialisation. Crucially, the primary manifestation of this 'lack' of understanding was in officers' confusion over their precise (police) role when confronted with what they perceived to be domestic 'disputes' as opposed to domestic 'violence', where the latter were more easily recognised as requiring a law-and-order response, but where the former were considered as much less straightforward to deal with. Consequently, in most circumstances, officers tended to rely on their personal experiences and understandings as human beings rather than police officers, to guide their response. A contributory factor to the lack of clarity were the many parallels between the gendered power dynamic to be found in situations of domestic violence and the form and content of banter and behaviour in the workplace. The research is not simply an end in itself in terms of answering a particular set of research questions relating to police responses to domestic violence, but could also act as a vehicle for change.

Full textAbstract:
Conceptualising an understanding of home within South African law and how certain relationships create such an understanding. Home can be thought of as a place of safety, security, peace and identity. Home encapsulates values such as human dignity, freedom and equality. Furthermore, it is a space where one can exercise your identity autonomously. Home is a space for autonomy. However, some relationships give rise to this positive concept of home and autonomy whilst others are detrimental thereto. These relations are explored, specifically relations of domestic violence which threaten the values of home. Furthermore, the public/private divide is a contributing factor to domestic violence that occurs within the home.
Efforts used to protect the private sphere has resulted in the public sphere compromising the privacy and autonomy of the victim. Privacy should not solely be equated with the private sphere and should rather be understood in terms of autonomy and a right which should be afforded to individuals. Autonomy itself, has for a long time been equated with the private sphere, and has, therefore, been used as a tool to protect the abusive party from state action, rather than protecting the abused party from the actions of the abuser. Therefore, autonomy itself should not be equated with the private sphere, as this conception lacks creativity in achieving autonomy within the collective. Therefore,an alternative understanding of autonomy is suggested: relational autonomy. Relational autonomy examines how specific relationships are beneficial to the meaning of autonomy. Relational autonomy calls for the restructuring of destructive relations which stand in the way of achieving autonomy and therefore also stands in the way of achieving a positive concept of home.Thesis (LLM)--University of Pretoria, 2019.

Full textAbstract:
A violência doméstica contra a mulher é um fenômeno mundial que não se restringe a determinada raça, classe econômica, idade ou religião. As agressões são divididas em variados tipos como: psicológicas, físicas e sexuais, porém, no relacionamento abusivo, elas acontecem de forma sobreposta. Este estudou objetivou investigar as percepções de violência em mulheres agredidas por seus parceiros, como elas justificam a violência sofrida e quais são os efeitos disso na sua vida. Suas percepções sobre o relacionamento, sobre si mesma, sobre seu parceiro e como isso contribui para que muitas permaneçam nesses relacionamentos abusivos. A pesquisa foi realizada na Delegacia de Defesa da Mulher de Ribeirão Preto, com sete mulheres que denunciaram seus agressores e, assim, foram encaminhadas ao atendimento psicossocial, do Grupo de Estudos e Atenção à Violência Doméstica e Abuso Sexual GEAVIDAS, realizado por psicólogos e assistentes sociais, na própria Delegacia. A investigação foi orientada pela abordagem qualitativa. Foram realizadas observações participantes que resultaram num diário de campo e entrevistas semi-estruturadas, realizadas individualmente, com permissão para serem gravadas e transcritas na íntegra. Os temas investigados nas entrevistas foram sobre a família de origem dessas mulheres, sua família atual (parceiro e filhos), os episódios de agressões sofridas, as expectativas com relação ao Boletim de Ocorrência e à Delegacia de Defesa da Mulher e seus planos futuros. A partir da análise dos resultados foi possível verificar que as mulheres percebem seus parceiros como ingratos e individualistas, que eles não sabem ser companheiros, muitas vezes não são provedores da casa e muito menos cuidadores da família, como notamos que seria o esperado de um homem para elas. Isso afeta a auto-estima e a autoconfiança delas, fazendo com que se sintam desamparadas e desanimadas com relação à vida. Elas acreditam que, por terem exercido seu papel de mulher dedicada, disposta a qualquer sacrifício pelos parceiros, mereciam uma maior consideração da parte deles, o que não acontece. Porém, parece haver uma forte idealização das mulheres pelos companheiros que faz com que elas permaneçam com eles à espera de alguma mudança, além de serem dependentes emocionalmente deles e algumas dependentes economicamente também. Concluímos que as lutas contra a violência doméstica e pela libertação das mulheres devem ser acompanhadas por outra luta: a de libertação dos homens, pois ambos sofrem pressões para desempenharem papéis estereotipados pela sociedade, que no caso do homem deve ser o poderoso e no caso da mulher, a frágil e submissa. Com isso, ambos são mutilados na sua individualidade de ser o que realmente desejam. Sendo assim, é necessário que o ser humano aprenda a ser solidário, a respeitar as diferenças do outro e a amar, pois somente assim saberemos conviver em relações de troca e reciprocidade.The domestic violence against woman is a world phenomenon that doesn\'t limit race, economical class, age or religion. The aggressions are divided in varied types as: psychological, physics and sexual, however, in the abusive relationship, they happen in a concomitant way. This research aimed to study the violence perceptions in women battered by your partners. How women justify the suffered violence and which are the effects in their lives. Their perceptions about the relationship, about themselves, about their partner and how it contributes to many of women stay in those abusive relationships. The research was accomplished at the Police Station of Woman´s Defense at Ribeirão Preto, with seven women, that denounced their aggressors and, that were taken to a social attendance of a Group of Studies and Attention to Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse - GEAVIDAS, accomplished by psychologists and social workers, in the own Police Station. The investigation was guided by the qualitative approach. There were accomplished participant observations that resulted in a field diary and semi-structured interviews, applied individually, with permission recording and transcribing them in complete. The themes investigated in the interviews were about their origin´s family and current family (partner and children), the episodes of aggressions, their expectations to the Bulletin of Occurrence and the Police Station of Woman´s Defense, and their future plans. The results showed us that the women notice your partners as ingrate and individualistic, that they don\'t know how to be a partner, they dont provide the house and they are not \"care-takers\" of the family as we noticed that would be expected of a man for them. That affects their self-esteem and their self-confidence, they feel depressed and abandoned. They believe they had done their dedicated woman´s role, disposed to any sacrifice for their partners and that they deserve a larger consideration of their part, what doesn\'t happen. However, there is a strong women´s idealization for their partners that make them wait for some change, besides they are emotionally dependent to them and, some of women are dependent economically also. We ended that the fights against the domestic violence and for the women\'s liberation they should be accompanied by other fight: the men\'s liberation, because both suffer pressures to play stereotyped roles at society, as in the man\'s case that he should be the powerful one and in the woman\'s case, that she should be the fragile and submissive. With that, both are mutilated in their individuality to be what they really want to be. Being like this, it is necessary that the human being learns how to be solidary, to respect the differences of others and how to love, therefore we will only know how to live together with reciprocity.

Myhill, Andy. "The police response to domestic violence : risk, discretion, and the context of coercive control." Thesis, City, University of London, 2018. http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/19905/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the issue of police response to domestic violence. It advances theory on this topic by applying the concept of coercive control to better understand the risk profile of domestic violence that comes to the attention of the police, and police officers’ use of discretion when identifying, recording and responding to domestic violence incidents. The research questions for the thesis are:(1) Can cases of coercive control be identified in national population surveys, and, if so, to what extent is coercive control gendered and more harmful than other forms of domestic violence?, (2) Is coercive control the most common form of domestic violence reported to the police?, (3) What degree of discretion do officers exercise when responding to cases of domestic violence?, and (4) What factors influence police officers’ responses at the scene of incidents of domestic violence? The thesis is structured around four published journal papers. Paper 1 uses national population survey data to show that coercive control is experienced primarily by women, and is more harmful than other forms of domestic violence. Paper 2 uses data from risk assessments to show that coercive control is the most common form of domestic violence that comes to the attention of the police. Using data from force systems, Paper 3 suggests frontline officers retain considerable discretion in relation to identifying and recording cases of domestic violence. Paper 4 uses in-depth interviews with officers alongside case-files to suggest that while officers are now more aware of policies such as presumptive arrest they are prepared to ignore such policies when they believe an incident is not serious; officers’ conceptions of what is serious were primarily incidents that involved physical violence and injury. I conclude that legislation to criminalise coercive control presents an opportunity to change officers’ conceptions of domestic violence and what constitutes threat and risk. I call for a reconceptualisation of the research agenda on domestic violence to focus initially on observational study in order to understand better the factors that influence police response.

Full textAbstract:
The primary aim of this study is to explore women offenders' experiences of, contact with, and delivery of, community-based health and social care services. Women offenders represent a particularly disadvantaged and silent group in society whose views have largely been disregarded in previous studies. More specifically, there has been a general lack of attention to their experiences of trying to meet their welfare needs before and after they encounter the Criminal Justice System (CJS). This research sought to provide a more informed understanding of what participants wanted to convey about their lived realities, the meaning of their experiences of help-seeking and their perceptions of appropriate responses to their welfare needs. The study was local, purposive and applied. It was underpinned by feminist epistemology and qualitative, heuristic and collaborative methodology. Reflexive dimensions were an integral part of the whole research process. It was also strengthened by a wish to change policy and practice as a direct consequence of hearing and taking account of service users' standpoints on experiencing those policies and practices. Of central importance was a desire to view women offenders not as research 'subjects' but as 'participants' in a process which would put their views and perspectives at the centre of the study. Therefore, before embarking on the study, I set up a research advisory group as a means of collaborating with women who had direct and personal experience of the CJS as 'expert advisers', to help guide and develop the research. I also sought ways of working collaboratively with research participants, for example, by utilising research methods such as participant observation and semi-structured interviews and asking participants to provide feedback on how I had written up my interactions with them. I also incorporated participant and gatekeeper evaluation methods to seek their views on their experiences of the research. The original contributions to the body of knowledge and understanding that this research makes are in the identification of characteristics of a service generic model of communitybased welfare provision. This relates particularly to the attitudes and behaviours of and delivery by service providers and individual practitioners. It is also framed in the context of participants' shared experience of domestic violence and its impact on their help-seeking from welfare services which was previously hidden and unknown. In addition, the study adds to feminist social research methodology through the development of a feminist and heuristic approach to collaborative research that seeks to involve the 'knowers' in an innovative way, that is, as 'expert advisers', throughout the research process. The profound and lasting impact is the clarity of its core findings: what emerge from women who participated in this work are appeals for service providers, individual practitioners (and researchers) to be in relationship with them. Hence, there is a call for the reduction of destructive boundaries in relationships and the integration of reflexive practice, in both the provision of community-based welfare services and approaches to conducting research of this kind.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores educational psychologists' (EPs') perceptions of practice with children and families who have experienced domestic violence and abuse (DVA). A literature review of DVA outcomes for children revealed negative impacts, alongside potential protective factors. Psychological theory for explaining these outcomes are reviewed, and whilst beneficial, each theory does not fully explain how the child develops. Bronfenbrenner's Process, Person, Context, Time theory (1989) was suggested as a valuable basis for creating supportive resources for EP practice, to be used during assessment, intervention and evaluation. Trialled in a case study of three EPs, semi-structured interviews were used before and after the use of the resource pack, to explore potential practice changes. Thematic analysis (Braun and Clarke, 2006) was employed to create themes, both deductively according to Bronfenbrenner's ecological categories, and driven by the data inductively. Analysis of ' pre-resource' practice suggested there were key aspects of Bronfenbrenner's bioecological model that were not commonly explored by the EPs. Moreover, barriers to practice were identified in the form of lack of time; limited DVA knowledge; and lack of appropriate resources. 'Post- resource' practice suggested many changes, which were perceived by the participants as providing them with a deeper understanding of the child. Overall it has been suggested that the resource pack has supported many practice developments, yet there are still areas which fail to be addressed. It is acknowledged that not all practice barriers will be overcome by a refined resource pack in isolation, yet participants claimed to find it a valuable addition to their practice 'toolkit'. As this resource pack is in its relative infancy, suggestions regarding its growth and development are made.

As mulheres vivem em sociedades onde as relações de poder são assimétricas e desiguais e estereótipos de gênero definem os papéis dentro das esferas públicas e privada da sociedade. A partir desse contexto, o trabalho pretende analisar, sob as críticas feministas as teorias procedimentais e substantivas da autonomia, como ocorre e quais as influências da socialização opressiva das mulheres na formação de suas preferências, valores e desejos. Na conjuntura brasileira a Ação Direita de Inconstitucionalidade - ADI número 4424 foi julgada procedente no STF em 2012 e tinha como objetivo conferir aos artigos 12, I, 16 e 41, da Lei Maria da Penha (Lei 11.340/2006), interpretação conforme a Constituição Federal, no sentido de que as lesões corporais leves contra mulheres no contexto doméstico e familiar serão processadas por ação penal pública incondicionada à representação, assim, buscou-se compreender se a decisão do STF diminuía a autonomia da mulher ao retirar dela a opção de processar seu agressor, além de avaliar até que ponto os contextos de socialização de submissão, como a violência doméstica, podem diminuir as práticas autônomas em razão da internalização de valores opressivos.
Women live in societies where power relations are asymmetrical and unequal and gender stereotypes define roles within the public and private spheres of society. From this context, the study aims to examine, under feminist critiques the procedural and substantive theories of autonomy, as it occurs and what influences the oppressive socialization of women in shaping their preferences, values and desires. In the Brazilian context the Direct Action of unconstitutionality number 4.424 was upheld in the Supreme Court in 2012 and aimed to regard Article 12 , I , 16 and 41, the Maria da Penha Law ( Law 11.340/2006 ) , interpretation according to the Constitution Federal , in the sense that slight injury against women in the home and family context will be processed by public criminal action representation, so we sought to understand whether the decision of the Supreme Court undermines woman s autonomy when take from her the option to sue her abuser , and to evaluate the extent to which socialization contexts submission , such as domestic violence, may decrease the autonomy because of the internalization of oppressive values .

Full textAbstract:
The Indian legal system has been dealing with the problem of domestic violence in the recent years especially since the advent of the new legislation the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, which was brought into effect from the 26th of August, 2006. The original contribution that this thesis makes to knowledge is that it identifies a potential category of users of this law- Women in Unconventional Relationships (WUR), and tests the support systems and the ease of access available to this category of women within two different domestic violence frameworks in India. This thesis locates the constructions of transgressive WUR identities in history, society and theoretical discourse and investigates whether these constructions adversely affect their legal subjectivity under the domestic violence law in India. It locates WUR within the domestic violence framework in Delhi, named the Victim Model for the purposes of this research, and within the Survivor Model in Mumbai. It privileges the voices of ten WUR who articulate their experiences of survival, domestic violence and the law. The research uses a combination of inter-subjective reflexive research and a feminist analysis of the domestic violence framework. The constructions of identities and the levels of transgression that take place and its effects on survivor/victim legal agency are investigated. The thesis identifies the best domestic violence framework suited for WUR which encourages their rights-bearing capacity as full-fledged citizens of the Indian state.

The defendants psychological diagnosis, the husbands alcohol abuse history, and documentation of domestic violence were varied across conditions. Results showed that medical evidence of domestic violence had a significant effect on guilt ratings and on perceptions of blame for the husbands death. History of alcohol use of the husband influenced mock jurors perceptions of the credibility of the defendant. Juror gender effects were also found on verdict ratings. In contrast, no main effect was found for the defendants diagnosis.

Domestic violence is a worrying phenomenon. In a concrete or symbolic way, it pervades the daily lives of many women who have experienced domestic violence situations. Once socially constructed, man is placed in an unequal position of power, these actions are often trivialized and reinforced by a society that is marked by patriarchy. Gender inequalities reinforce violence against women. My practice shows that many of these women seek help in religion, more specifically with their religious leaders who, in addition to agreeing with the violence that woman has lived, reinforce it through their religious beliefs. The cases seen at Casas Abrigo Regional Grande ABC attest that many women do not break the violence cycle because they belong to some religious institution and hear from their leaders discourses that legitimize submission and violence against women. This research intends to identify and analyze the Christianity influence in the violent family relations of Catholic and Evangelical women hosted in Casas Abrigo Regional Grande ABC and the same religious groups' perpetrators of violence against women. We will try to understand the violence consequences in these women's life, as well as to identify religion's influence in the masculine exercise of aggression and in the subjection of women to aggression. To approach these women, we chose two Reference Centers for Women's Care: “Marcia Dangremon” and “Vem Maria” as a field of this research. In order to approach the perpetrators of violence against women, we chose Centro de Referência Especializado de Assistência Social – CREAS de São Bernardo do Campo.
A violência doméstica é um fenômeno que nos preocupa. De forma concreta ou simbólica, ela perpassa o cotidiano de muitas mulheres que vivenciam situações de violência doméstica. Uma vez que construída socialmente, ao homem é posta uma posição desigual de poder, e estas ações muitas vezes são banalizadas e reforçadas por uma sociedade que é marcada pelo patriarcalismo. As desigualdades de gênero reforçam a violência contra as mulheres. A minha prática demonstra que muitas destas mulheres buscam ajuda na religião, mais especificamente com seus líderes religiosos, que, em sua maioria, além de compactuar com a violência vivida, a reforçam através de suas crenças religiosas. Os casos atendidos nas Casas Abrigo Regional Grande ABC atestam que muitas mulheres não rompem com o ciclo da violência, pelo fato de pertencerem a uma instituição religiosa e ouvirem de seus líderes discursos que legitimam a submissão e a violência contra as mulheres. Esta pesquisa pretende identificar e analisar a influência do cristianismo nas relações familiares violentas de mulheres católicas e evangélicas religiosas acolhidas nas Casas Abrigo Regional Grande ABC e de autores da violência contra as mulheres dos mesmos grupos religiosos. Procuraremos compreender as consequências da violência na vida dessas mulheres, bem como identificar a influência da religião no exercício masculino da agressão e na sujeição feminina à agressão.

Full textAbstract:
This study was designed to examine the relationships of multiple types of domestic victimization (i.e., physical, psychological, sexual, and economic violence) to women&rsquos marital adjustment and psychological well-being, together with their socio-demographic characteristics and attachment, marital coping, and social support aspects. Altogether 524 married women provided data on domestic violence (Revised Conflict Tactics Scale), economic violence (Economic Violence Index), attachment (couples version of Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised), marital coping (Marital Coping Inventory), social support (Social Support Index), dyadic adjustment (Dyadic Adjustment Scale), psychological well-being (Brief Symptom Inventory), as well as demographic information. Results appeared to indicate a general tendency that women who have arranged marriages, more children, low education, low educated husbands, no or low income, and/or women who have more income compared to their husbands report higher levels of multiple types of domestic violence. Furthermore, the findings indicated that multiple types of domestic violence account for significant variances in marital adjustment and psychological well-being of married women, even after controlling for their attachment dimensions, marital coping strategies, and social support from different support groups. The findings were discussed in accordance with the relevant literature, and their implications for clinical practices and future studies were suggested.

Full textAbstract:
Domestic violence has been gradually increasing globally with developing countries across Sub-Saharan Africa being the most affected (WHO, 2013). Uganda, in particular, ranks highest in relation to the incidence of domestic violence (UNICEF, 2000). This situation led to the enactment of the first domestic violence legislation in the country, the Domestic Violence Act, 2010; this makes domestic violence a crime and is particularly focused on reducing violence to women (Uganda GBV Guidelines, 2013). Women make up the majority of victims of domestic violence in Uganda and are subject to gender inequality within a patriarchal society that particularly disadvantages them. However, the argument of this thesis is firstly, although there are strong cultural factors implicated in violence against women, notably practices of wife inheritance, forced marriage and societal sanctioning of wife beating, there has been an over-reliance on cultural explanations for the problem (Bowman, 2006, Speizer, 2010) at the expense of exploring psychological factors. It is argued that understanding psychological issues related to domestic violence is particularly important in post-conflict settings since the literature shows that wars and violence at the societal level often get played out in the domestic sphere and can contribute significantly to the generation of psychological harm and personality issues (Saunders et al., 1999). Victims often use different coping behaviours-strategies to protect themselves from negative feelings and thoughts (Fritsch & Warrier, 2004) but what remains unclear is how both genders engage coping styles. Secondly, in an attempt to address the needs of women as victims, policy and practice in Uganda has failed to recognise the way that women can contribute to the victimisation of other women (particularly relevant in a context in which polygamous households and co-wives are normative) and also to men, who in such a patriarchal society may experience difficulties acknowledging victimhood and seeking help. Using non-coercive questionnaires administered to 60 victims and 60 perpetrators of both genders in an urban area in Uganda, this study aimed to explore the relationship, impact of gender and role in domestic violence based sub-scales on: attitudes to coercion (private matter, men’s right to control, women exaggerate, women’s behaviour used to justify, no big deal), self-reported victimisation (physical, psychological and sexual, personality traits (neuroticism, extroversion and psychoticism) and coping styles (problem solving, social support and avoidance)). Participants faking good (Lie) was controlled as a covariate according to Francis et al, 1999. This quantitative study employed 2x2 factorial design [gender vs role]. MANCOVA analysis was used to test hypotheses on differences and interactions and a Pearson product moment correlation analysis was conducted to test hypotheses on group relationships. Since results can be significant by chance, as recommended by Pallant 2013 p.217 this study applied Bonferroni correction-adjustment to the alpha levels which are used to judge statistical significance on 14 dependent variables. The findings revealed statistically significant role (victim and perpetrator) differences but no major gender differences. Results also revealed no interaction and no effect between gender and role on all aforementioned dependent variables. However, there were statistically significant correlational findings based on role as (victims and perpetrators) and gender for (males and females) on most sub-scales on attitude to coercion, self-reported victimisation and coping styles except personality traits. The only significant correlations for personality traits were between perpetrators neuroticism trait scores and psychological violence. Overall, exploring the psychological behaviour patterns, the study provides insights into the psychological characteristics of victims and perpetrators of both genders in the Ugandan sample. These results were then compared with western published studies and both commonalities and differences were identified. Studying the responses of both male and female victims and perpetrators represents the first such research in a post-conflict African context and makes a significant contribution to knowledge. Though specific to Uganda, the study findings point to the need for a greater awareness of the significance of psychological factors in exploring domestic violence in Africa, especially in countries where the population has been exposed to violence at a societal level, such as war. Furthermore, a major contribution is made by this study in its conclusion that there is need for a gender sensitive approach to domestic violence in African context, one that takes account of the differential needs of men and women as both victims and perpetrators. Finally, in opening up psychological explanations for domestic violence in addition to cultural factors and gender inequality, the way is paved for a synergistic approach for addressing domestic violence –one which addresses these as interlinking elements of the problem requiring simultaneous attention.

Full textAbstract:
Law is often perceived as an instrument that can effect social change. National law in Trinidad and Tobago, prima facie providing for gender equality, does not fully contemplate issues of particular concern to women, such as domestic violence. Gender equality and domestic violence are unwitting partners as women cannot achieve the former without first addressing the latter. Additionally, problems such as male dominance in politico-legal structures and lack of political will create practical obstacles to the realisation of gender equality and/or the full potential of the law. A case study of Trinidad and Tobago shows that the achievement of legal advances for women is particularly difficult where practical measures are not implemented domestically. Honouring international commitments subsequently becomes problematic as they do not guarantee change nationally and they, too, are sidelined. Gender equality and domestic violence are not given priority domestically and laws aimed towards protecting women and women’s rights are ineffective, scant and/or not enforced. The only way to achieve gender equality is through a multilevel approach from above (the UN) and, perhaps, more importantly, from below, as women have the potential to effect real national and international legal and institutional change to ensure gender equality at both levels.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis contains three chapters that each study the spillover effects of two aspects of the child's household environment, Domestic Violence (chapter one and two) and Maternal Working Hours (chapter three). The first chapter looks at Children's Health, the second at Education Outcomes and the third looks at children's Well-Being. Understanding what influences a child's early development is of paramount importance as it explains future job market performance and success in life in general. All chapters exploit the data set UK Millennium Cohort Study (MCS), a longitudinal survey following around 19,000 children born in the UK in 2000-01. The first chapter studies the effect of Domestic Violence on children's health production function. We use waves 4 and 5 of the MCS, when children are aged 7 and 11, respectively. We find that there is a strong negative externality of living in a household where there is violence on children's parental-assessed health outcomes. Simultaneity between the child's health and the existence of Domestic Violence in the household makes it diffcult to establish a causal relationship, so we use an instrumental approach to address the potential bias caused by this. In particular, our results show that children exposed to Domestic Violence appear to be between 55% and 61% less likely to have their health rated as Excellent. Our results are robust and statistically significant across all specifications. Our paper not only sheds light on the negative impact of Domestic Violence on children's health but provides a robust quantification of this effect. This chapter is co-authored with Prof. Jofre-Bonet and Dr. Serra-Sastre. The second chapter studies the spillover effect on children's educational attainment of living in a household in which mothers are subject to Domestic Violence. To do so, we exploit measurements of the child's educational performance in English, Science, Mathematics, Physical Education, Creativity, and Information and Technology by the age of 7 and 11, available in the MCS. Our results suggest that growing up in a household where there is Domestic Violence has a negative impact on all educational outcomes. Our results are robust and hold when addressing several potential sources of sample selection bias. Children from domestically abused mothers lose around 0.20 standard deviations in English and 0.30 standard deviations in Mathematics scores at an age as early as 11 years. The cumulative negative effect is heterogenous across academic areas, being more pronounced for those subjects where past knowledge acquisition is essential (i.e., Mathematics and Science). This chapter is co-authored with Prof. Jofre-Bonet and Dr. Serra-Sastre. The third chapter investigates how maternal working status is connected to children's well-being at ages 7 and 11. The rapid increase of female participation in the labour market, along with the impact that well-being levels during childhood has on their psychological development and labour market outcomes later in adulthood, calls for a closer examination of this topic. To do so, we also exploit the MCS, which contains a very complete set of children's well-being outcomes and the intensity of the engagement of mothers with the labour market. To our knowledge, this is the first paper to use such a full array of children's well-being indicators and relate it to maternal labour supply. Our results show that in households in which mothers work fulltime, children are, on average, happier, less worried, as well as less likely to lose their temper. Further, we investigate whether child obesity, which has been related to children's well-being, is associated to the mother's working hours, the mother's commuting time and the father's employment status. We find that higher the number of working hours of the mother increases the likelihood of the child being obese at 7 and 11 years of age, in line with previous literature. This chapter is co-authored with Prof. Jofre-Bonet and Dr. Serra-Sastre.

Alicerçada no pressuposto da inter-relação entre os campos da comunicação e do feminismo, esta proposta pretende fornecer subsídios ao movimento de mulheres e feminista, comprovando que as Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC) -- que têm na internet a sua maior expressão -- não são um fim, mas um instrumento para a transformação social. Com a revolução das TIC, o avanço do trabalho pela equidade das relações sociais de gênero depara-se com o desafio da mudança de mentalidade. Concomitantemente com a revolução tecnológica, ocorrem as revoluções do aprendizado e da expressão pessoal e interpessoal, acarretando outras formas de representação da mulher em função das novas dinâmicas comunicacionais. É pela comunicação a distância que se vislumbra um caminho de reformulação da agenda feminista, com novas estratégias de intervenção política e de atuação. O recorte da pesquisa foca a implementação do uso da internet -- mais especificamente das redes sociais -- para o avanço da luta contra a violência às mulheres, no âmbito doméstico. Considera-se esta cruel realidade como a mais grave expressão das desigualdades de gênero, as quais foram construídas há milênios, colocando a mulher em condição de subordinação ao homem, o que acarreta prejuízos para toda a sociedade.Based on the assumption of inter-relation between the fields of communication and feminism, this proposal intends to provide subsidies to the women\'s and feminist movement, proving that Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) -- which have in the internet their most significant expression -- are not an end, but rather an instrument for social transformation. With the ICT revolution, the advancement of work for equality in social gender relations faces the challenge of a mentality change. Simultaneously with the technological revolution, the revolutions in the areas of learning and personal and interpersonal expression are occurring, bringing forth new forms of representation of women, made possible by the new communicational dynamics. It is through long-distance communication that it is possible to foresee a path for reformulation of the feminist agenda, with new strategies for political intervention and action. The research focuses on the implementation of the use of the internet for the progression of the specific struggle against violence on women, in the domestic sphere, considering this cruel reality as the gravest expression of gender inequalities, built millennia ago, and which places women in a position of subordination to men, causing damages to society as a whole.

The aim of the present research is to study the psychologist s countertransference in the clinic with women in situation of conjugal violence. We believe that the identification and the recognition of countertransference can facilitate for the therapists to elaborate their own feelings, which can benefit the evolution of clinical process and also the maintenance of these professional s psychic health. In a wider context, the study intends to contribute to the conscience of the wounds provoked by masculine violence perpetrated in patriarchal order. The work starts with the therapeutic entailment with the concepts of transference and countertransference. Then, it presents the concepts of vicarious trauma and secondary traumatic stress, like professionals possible symptoms, reactive to the treatment of the trauma. It debates the partner violence phenomenon and the recent changes in Brazilian legislation in behalf of attacked woman. The research was done with ten psychologists that work specifically with the clinical treatment of woman which are victims of violence, in public service, in a big Brazilian city. The instruments used were: semi directed interview with the psychologists and semi structured register of a clinic case, described by the psychologist right after one attendance. The data was analyzed using a qualitative method in the light of analytical psychology. The results disclose that the violence against woman is still a theme poorly explored and valued. It found that in the treatment of these women emerge intense contents, connected to the wounded feminine on the psychologist personal psyche. Most of them seem to present symptoms of secondary traumatic stress. Some countertransference feelings were ignored by psychotherapists; witch can obscure the therapeutic contact. Concluding, this study emphasizes the necessity of the caring of the psychologist. It also emphasizes the necessity of the psychologists to use their perception, discrimination and capacities to work with clear limits, to facilitate the recognition, the elaboration and the analytical work of countertransference reaction in behalf of the therapeutic dynamic
A pesquisa visa observar a contratransferência de psicólogas na clínica com mulheres em situação de violência conjugal. Espera-se que a identificação e o reconhecimento da contratransferência possa facilitar às psicólogas a elaboração de seus sentimentos. Isso tudo pode beneficiar a evolução do atendimento e também a manutenção da saúde psíquica dessas profissionais. Partindo para um contexto mais amplo, o estudo pretende contribuir na conscientização das feridas provocadas pela violência masculina perpetrada na ordem patriarcal. Discute-se, primeiramente, o vínculo terapêutico com os conceitos de transferência e contratransferência. Apresentam-se, em seguida, os conceitos de trauma vicário e estresse secundário traumático, como possíveis sintomas, dos profissionais, reativos à clínica do trauma. Debate-se o fenômeno da violência conjugal e apresentam-se as atuais mudanças na legislação brasileira em favor da mulher agredida. A pesquisa foi realizada com dez psicólogas que trabalham especificamente com a clínica de violência contra a mulher, no serviço público, em uma metrópole brasileira. Foram utilizados entrevista semidirigida com as psicólogas e registro semiestruturado de um caso clínico, descrito pelas psicólogas logo após um atendimento. Os dados foram analisados através do método qualitativo à luz da psicologia analítica. Os resultados revelam que a violência contra a mulher ainda é assunto pouco explorado e pouco valorizado. Revelam, ainda, que essa clínica faz emergir conteúdos intensos, com questões ligadas ao feminino ferido as quais fazem parte do universo pessoal das psicólogas. A maioria delas pareceu apresentar sintomas de estresse secundário traumático. Alguns sentimentos contratransferenciais foram ignorados pelas psicólogas, o que pode obscurecer o contato terapêutico. Concluindo, esse estudo ressalta a necessidade de cuidado direcionado às psicólogas. Ressalta também a necessidade das psicólogas resgatarem suas capacidades de percepção, discriminação e de colocação de limites, a fim de facilitar o reconhecimento, a elaboração e o trabalho analítico das reações contratransferenciais em favor da dinâmica terapêutica

Using the International Violence Against Women Survey (IVAWS), this paper identifies factors contributing to women’s individual risk of being victimized by their current intimate partner. Additionally, this analysis examines the overlap of physical and sexual violence within intimate relationships. Past research into IPV has identified a numerous predictor variables. Adapting nine such variables (controlling behaviours, male heavy drinking, female only income, female past marriage, female past IPV, respondents’ age, relationship duration, relationship status and violence outside the home) to the IVAWS dataset, a framework identifying risk patterns for physical and sexual violence was developed. The results identify a number of variables that performed as expected and increased a women’s risk of being a victim of IPV; however, some variables decreased women’s risk and therefore acted as protective factors. These findings suggest that IPV at the country level is more complex and requires additional research to fully explain the variation observed.

Objetivo: Explorar las creencias que mantienen a las entrevistadas junto a sus agresores. Método. Se realizó un estudio cualitativo con un modelo explicativo fenomenológico y un diseño de estudio de casos múltiple. Se tuvo como objeto de muestra cuatro entrevistadas entre los 30 y 40 años de edad, pacientes de un centro psicológico. Se utilizó una entrevista semiestructurada como técnica de recolección de datos. Se empleo el análisis de contenido temático para establecer las categorías: aspectos vitales históricos, creencias frente al maltrato y comportamientos evocados. Resultados. Las entrevistadas provienen de familias con antecedentes de violencia. Las creencias que se encontraron en las participantes fueron denominadas como minimización, desplazamiento de responsabilidad a terceros, naturalización de la violencia y culpabilidad. Junto a esto, se presentó el miedo a incertidumbre con respecto a la separación, querer mantener a su familia unida y las expectativas de cambio en relación a su agresor. Conclusión. Las participantes tienen dificultades para separarse. Esto se agudiza por factores como la dependencia emocional y económica, falta de redes de apoyo y poco o nula de información sobre el maltrato.Objective: Explore the beliefs that mantain a woman in a love relationship with her agressor.

The victims family backgrounds have a history of violence. The beliefs that where found in the interviews are: minimization; third party responsability displacement, violence naturalization and sense of guilt; the fear of uncertainty regarding the separation; urge to keep their family together and the expectation of a true change in the personality of their agresor. Conclusion. The subjects have problems to end the relationship. This is emphatized by the emotional and economic dependency, as well as the lack of nets of support and little or no information about domestic violence.

This work tries to answer the following question: what are woman's social
representation in a familiar and domestic violence situation in São Borja-RS' social
historic context? The main objectives are to investigate and to interpret the social
representation of woman that has been suffering or that had suffered agression by
her partner/husband at home. This study interprets the social world and it tries to
understand how representations that people construct, from its linguistics choices,
exerts important roles in the organizational structures that construe the social life. In
different circunstances, people give opinions, express value judgement and feelings,
colaborating to create and to maintain a given social representation. Based on these
assumptions, to do this etnografic qualitative research, a literature review was
realized about the following theoretical perspectives: social genre (SAFFIOTI, 2001;
2004; 2009), social representation (MOSCOVICI, 1984; 1988; 2003), dialogicity
(MARKOVÁ, 2006) e sociointeracionism (BAKHTIN, 1992; 1997). After that, statistics
about domestic violence against women were identified, and effective legal actions
such as Lei Maria da Penha and public policies established in São Borja's context to
solve the problem were analysed. Specifically, in this research, the linguistic analysis
focus on the genre Criminal Complaint (CC) about domestic violence against women
and it was collected at São Borja's police court. Then, the textual genre was
described, and twenty CCs were analysed. The results suggest that those
documents show some pecularities and are caracterized by reported discourse and
dialogicity, because it materializes the oral discourse reformulated by the written
discourse of the police cleck. The woman's social representation registered in the
Criminal Complaint highlights the comprehension and interpretation of the policial
about the facts narrated by the victim. And, it is from this linguistic perception that
violence against woman becomes public in the context investigated.Este trabalho busca responder à seguinte questão: quais são as representações sociais da mulher em situação de violência doméstica e familiar no contexto sóciohistórico de São Borja/RS? Os objetivos principais são investigar e interpretar as representações sociais da mulher que sofre ou sofreu agressão praticada por seu companheiro/marido no âmbito privado. Este estudo justifica-se porque busca interpretar o mundo social e entender como as representações que os indivíduos constroem, a partir de suas escolhas linguísticas, exercem um papel fundamental na organização das estruturas que formam a vida social. Por meio dos seus discursos, nas diversas situações em que se inserem, as pessoas emitem opiniões, juízos de valor e sentimentos e colaboram para a criação e manutenção de uma dada representação social. Tendo em vista esses pressupostos, para desenvolver esta pesquisa etnográfica e de abordagem qualitativa, revisei a literatura sobre as seguintes perspectivas teóricas: gênero social (SAFFIOTI, 2001; 2004; 2009), representações sociais (MOSCOVICI, 1984; 1988; 2003), dialogicidade (MARKOVÁ, 2006) e sociointeracionismo (BAKHTIN, 1992; 1997). Após, descrevi o contexto sócio-histórico de São Borja/RS, a partir de fonte bibliográfica e documental. Identifiquei as estatísticas sobre a violência contra a mulher no município e investiguei as ações legais efetivas - como a Lei Maria da Penha e as políticas públicas implantadas para combater o problema. Especificamente, para consolidar a análise linguística, descrevi o gênero discursivo Boletim de Ocorrência (BO) e analisei vinte BOs de violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher, coletados na Delegacia de Polícia de São Borja. Os resultados desta pesquisa sugerem que os documentos analisados apresentam algumas peculiaridades e caracterizam-se pelo discurso reportado e pelo dialogismo, pois materializam a reformulação do discurso oral da mulher para o discurso escrito d@ policial escrevente. Assim, as representações sociais da mulher registradas nos BOs condizem à compreensão e interpretação d@ policial diante dos fatos narrados pela ofendida. E, é a partir dessa percepção que a violência contra a mulher se torna pública no contexto investigado.

This exploratory study investigates how racialized immigrant women experience and respond to intimate partner abuse (IPA). The American and European models of intersectionality theory are used to highlight structural constraints and agentic responses as experienced and enacted by racialized immigrant women.
Eight women described their experiences through semi-structured interviews, revealing an array of both defensive and pro-active types of strategies aimed at short- and long-term outcomes. Responses included aversion, negative reinforcement or coping strategies like prayer or self-coaching, and accordingly varied by the constraints under which the women lived as newcomers to Canada. Policy recommendations promote acknowledgement of women’s decision-making abilities and provide a model in which women can choose from a selection of options in how to respond, rather than strictly interventionist models. Study results can help to challenge stereotypes of abused women as passive victims, and empower the image of immigrant women as active knowers of their circumstances.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Våld i nära relation ses som ett globalt folkhälsoproblem där kvinnor världen över faller offer för våldet. Det som kännetecknar våld i nära relation är att det finns en relation och känslomässigt band mellan offer och förövare. Våldet kan ge uttryck fysiskt, psykiskt, sexuellt, materiellt, ekonomiskt och socialt. Tidigare forskning visade att cirka var tredje kvinna som varit i en relation har utsatts för någon form av våld. Enligt Världshälso-organisationen (WHO) bör hälso- och sjukvården vara drivande i arbetet mot våld i nära relationer. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur yrkesverksamma inom hälso- och sjukvården kan identifiera tecken på att kvinnor blivit utsatta för våld i nära relation. Metod: Litteraturöversikt användes som metod till studien. Åtta kvalitativa och en kvantitativ artikel valdes ut. Resultat: Hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal var ofta de första som mötte kvinnor som utsatts för våld i nära relation. Sjukvården arbetar utifrån olika screeningmetoder där bland annat frågor ställs för att utforska kvinnans situation och hälsa. Det var viktigt att screening genomfördes för att identifiera om eventuell våldsproblematik fanns. Utifrån artiklarnas resultat framträdde tre subteman och ett huvudtema som svarade till studiens syfte. Konklusion: Studiens resultat visade att hälso- och sjukvården var medvetna om kvinnans utsatthet för våld i nära relation. Sjukvården hade ett flertal metoder som rekommenderades att arbeta efter, dock fanns det hinder som resulterade i att screening inte användes på rätt sätt och i vissa fall inte användes alls. Det finns förbättringsområden i sjukvårdens arbete med våldsutsatta kvinnor.Background: Intimate partner violence is a global public health problem where women all around the world fall victims to violence. Intimate partner violence is the relationship and emotional bond between victim and perpetrator. Violence can manifest in several different ways, such as physical, mental, sexual, material, economic or social. Previous research showed that about every third woman who had been in a relationship were victims to some form of violence. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) health care services should be a driving force in the work against intimate partner violence. Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate how health care professionals can identify expose of intimate partner violence among women. Method: A literature review was conducted. Eight qualitative and one quantitative article were selected. Results: Health care professionals are often the first to meet the woman who has been subjected to violence. The health care services used various screening methods where, questions are asked to explore the woman's situation. Based on the results of the articles, a main theme and three sub-themes were constructed. Conclusion: The result of this study shows that the health care services are aware of the woman's exposure to violence. The health care system has several methods that they should work with, however there are many obstacles that result in both screening not being used correctly and in some not being used at all. There are areas for improvement in health care work with women exposed to violence.

This doctoral dissertation aims to analyze how the modalization works on news about domestic violence against woman, published in the newspapers A Gazeta (Brazilian newspaper) and Público (Portuguese newspaper) respectively in the year 2014. This subject constitutes as a dialogical strategy and discursive. On the basis of theoretical approaches from language scholars, initially, the news could bring implicit or explicit marks of the position from the enunciator ahead the discourse that produces and enunciates. Although, the news is considered a discursive construction of reality and having the social function of informing about some subject, in an objective form neutral and impartial. Regarding this dissertation, the modalization as a dialogic and discursive strategy, from the Bakhtin dialogism perspective looks at the categories: social voices, appreciative tone, discourse quoted and theme/ signification as modalization mechanisms discourse that appropriates the enunciator in his discussing plan. Observing and analyzing how the linguistic traces occur on the discursive process from news construction, we may conclude that the news is permeated by an appreciative tone that is manifested from the lexical choices and the disposition statements, revealing the subjectivity marks from the enunciator in face of how it enunciated in the journalistic sphere. It is important underscore that are evident the social voices that echo in its speech, reflecting and refract legitimized social representations about the woman domestic violence victim. Therefore, the effect of sense built by the modalization use on news about domestic violence against woman may contribute to the trivialization or refutation from this violence in the sociohistorical and cultural context in contemporary society
Esta tese de doutorado tem o objetivo de analisar de que forma a modalização em notícias de violência doméstica contra mulher, publicadas nos jornais A Gazeta e Público, um brasileiro e outro português, respectivamente, no ano de 2014, pode constituir-se como estratégia dialógica e discursiva. Com base em abordagens teóricas de estudiosos da linguagem, inicialmente, constatamos que a notícia pode trazer marcas implícitas ou explicitas da posição do enunciador diante do discurso que produz e enuncia, embora ela seja considerada uma construção discursiva da realidade e tendo a função social de informar sobre algum assunto, de forma objetiva, neutra e imparcial. Considerando-se, nesta tese, a modalização como uma estratégia dialógica e discursiva, a partir da perspectiva do dialogismo em Bakhtin, vimos as categorias vozes sociais, tom apreciativo, discurso citado e tema/significação como mecanismos de modalização do discurso de que se apropria o enunciador em seu projeto de dizer. Observando e analisando como os traços linguísticos incidem no processo discursivo de construção da notícia, podemos concluir que o texto noticioso é permeado por um tom apreciativo que se manifesta a partir das escolhas lexicais e da disposição dos enunciados, revelando as marcas de subjetividade do enunciador diante do modo como se enuncia na esfera jornalística. São evidentes, também, as vozes sociais que ecoam em seu discurso, refletindo e refratando representações sociais legitimadas sobre a mulher vítima de violência doméstica. Sendo assim, o efeito de sentido construído pelo emprego da modalização em notícias de violência doméstica contra a mulher pode contribuir para a banalização ou refutação dessa violência no contexto sócio-histórico e cultural da sociedade contemporânea

Full textAbstract:
A violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher é um problema social recorrente, que passou a ter maior visibilidade a partir da década de 80, século XX, por influência do Movimento Feminista. É considerada atualmente como uma das formas de violação de Direitos Humanos. Com a aprovação da Lei nº 11.340/2006, a violência doméstica contra a mulher deixa de ser tratada como um crime de menor potencial ofensivo, aumentando o rigor das punições, das agressões e tipificando as situações de violência doméstica. Partindo do pressuposto de que a compreensão do fenômeno da violência doméstica e familiar pode contribuir para a formulação e implementação de políticas púbicas e, que as representações sociais auxiliam nessa compreensão, bem como a escassez de estudos no estado de Rondônia, esta tese tem como objetivo geral apreender as representações sociais de mulheres em situação de violência doméstica e familiar, de agressores e de implementadores de políticas públicas sobre a violência doméstica e familiar e, as percepções sobre os serviços de atendimento. Para a realização deste estudo, utilizou-se a abordagem qualitativa, optando pela entrevista semiestruturada, que foi realizada com mulheres em situação de violência doméstica e familiar, agressores e implementadores de políticas públicas e serviços de atendimento, totalizando 24 entrevistados. A análise da pesquisa foi realizada pelo processo de categorização e agrupamento de conteúdos semelhantes. Utilizando-se da análise de conteúdo foram elencadas as seguintes categorias de análises: representações sociais do significado da violência; os tipos de violência, fatores motivacionais e os motivos para continuar na relação violenta; a culpabilização da mulher pela violência e; percepções sobre os serviços de atendimento. Evidenciou-se que o significado da violência é distinto para cada pessoa. A maioria das mulheres em situação de violência e os agressores expressaram as formas de violência como significado. Os tipos de violência mais citados foram a física e a psicológica. O uso abusivo de álcool e outras drogas foram os fatores representados como desencadeadores da violência. Já no grupo dos implementadores aparece também o machismo, a questão cultural e a sociedade patriarcal como causas da violência. O medo da solidão, a depressão, a dependência financeira da mulher, os filhos, a esperança de mudança no comportamento do agressor, a falta de empoderamento da mulher, a religião, dentre outros, são os motivos apontados nas representações sociais para as mulheres permanecerem na relação violenta. A culpabilização da mulher pelo seu comportamento aparece em vários relatos dos agressores, como justificativa das agressões. Muitas mulheres entrevistadas também expressaram sentimentos de culpa pela violência sofrida. As mulheres percebem os serviços de atendimento como sendo insuficientes e fragmentados, não tiveram acesso a atendimento psicossocial. Os agressores que participam de um grupo de reabilitação expressaram que as reuniões lhes proporcionaram mudança no comportamento. A maioria dos implementadores aponta os serviços aos quais fazem parte, como efetivos, como o projeto que trabalha com a reabilitação dos agressores, contudo, ao falar da rede de atendimento, as percepções são negativas.Domestic and family violence against women is a recurring social problem, which became more visible in the 1980s, influenced by the Feminist Movement. It is currently considered as one of the forms of violation of Human Rights. With the approval of Law 11.340/2006, domestic violence against women is no longer treated as a crime of less offensive potential, increasing the punishment of aggressions and typifying situations of domestic violence. Based on the assumption that the understanding of the phenomenon of domestic and family violence can contribute to the formulation and implementation of public policies and, that social representations help in this understanding, as well as the scarcity of studies in the state of Rondônia, this thesis has as general objective to understand the social representations of women domestic and family violence situations, aggressors and implementers of public policies on the domestic and family violence and, perceptions about care services. In order to carry out this study, the qualitative approach was used, opting for the semi-structured interview, which was performed with women in situations of domestic and family violence, aggressors and implementers of public policies and services, totaling 24 interviewed. The analysis of the research was carried out by the process of categorization and grouping of similar contents, using content analysis. Using the content analysis the following categories of analysis were listed: social representations of the meaning of violence; the types of violence, motivational factors and reasons to continue in the violent relationship; the blame of women for violence; perceptions about care services. It has been shown that the meaning of violence is distinct for each person. Most women in situations of violence and the aggressors expressed the forms of violence as meaning. The types of violence that were most cited were physical and psychological. The abusive use of alcohol and other drugs were the factors represented as the triggering of violence. Already in the group of implementers also appears the machismo, the cultural question and the patriarchal society as causes of the violence. The fear of loneliness, the depression, the financial dependence on women, the children, the hope for of change in the aggressor's behavior, the lack of women's empowerment, the religion, among others, are the motives pointed out in the social representations for women to remain in the violent relationship. The blame of the woman for her behavior appears in several reports of the aggressors, as justification of the aggressions. Many women interviewed also expressed guilty feelings for the violence suffered. The women perceive the services of attendance as insufficient and fragmented, they did not have access to psychosocial care. Aggressors who participate in a rehabilitation group, expressed that the meetings provided them with a change in behavior. Most implementers point out the services to which they are part, as effective, such as the project that works with the rehabilitation of the aggressors, however, when talking about the service network, the perceptions are negative.

Previous issue date: 2016-10-31The research aims to analyse the discursive practices of men punished by Maria da Penha Law, in reason of the practice of domestic and family violence against women, referred for a reflective group, according to the articles 35 and 45 in the same law. Taking references on Cultural Studies, the research search to relate speeches from a possible hegemonic pattern of masculinity with the practice of domestic and family violence against women, and identify new meanings in the speeches of these men due to of them participation in reflective group. The research is documental and the corpus consists in written material, resulting from de-recording the speeches of participants. Additional informations were drawn from the file of the criminal proceedings, consulting to the police reports, judgment and other documents in order to determine the profile of the participants of reflective group. The work is organized from the exposure of informations about the study group, as the format of carrying out of meetings, the facilitators, the strategies and rules, the difficulties of de-recording, the profile of participants, the ethical issues and some methodological possibilities of working with groups men. After that, it presents the legislative developments, statistics data and public policies developed in confronting of domestic and family violence against women in Brazil. It articulates theoretical notes about the reflexive groups with the speeches of the participants men of the research group in order to demonstrate how participants men perceive their referral to the reflexive group. Based on the concept of identities, it relates the search for the pattern of hegemonic masculinity, unattainable for the vast majority of men, one of the causes of this such violence; behiond it there are men‟s perceptions about the reflection process developed inside the group. The main results point to the importance of the work of reflective groups of men to confronting of violence against women as an effective way of deconstructing masculinities closely related to violence, and a hegemonic, heteronormative and patriarchal model. On the other hand, emerges the problem of violence used by both partners as a means of conflict resolution, which implies the need for treatment the phenomenon in a relational bias.
A pesquisa tem como objetivo principal fazer a análise das práticas discursivas de homens apenados pela Lei Maria da Penha, em razão da prática de violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher, encaminhados para um grupo reflexivo, de acordo com o previsto nos artigos 35 e 45 da mesma Lei. Busca, a partir de um referencial teórico dos Estudos Culturais, relacionar discursos de um possível padrão hegemônico de masculinidade com a prática da violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher, bem como identificar ressignificações nos discursos desses homens em razão da participação no grupo reflexivo. A pesquisa é documental e o corpus consiste em material escrito, resultante da degravação das falas dos participantes. Informações complementares foram extraídas dos autos dos processos criminais, consultando os boletins de ocorrência, sentença e outros documentos com a finalidade de apurar o perfil dos participantes do grupo reflexivo. O trabalho parte da exposição das informações sobre o grupo pesquisado, como o formato da realização dos encontros, os facilitadores, as estratégias e as regras, as dificuldades da degravação, o perfil dos participantes, questões éticas e algumas possibilidades metodológicas de trabalho com grupos de homens. Em seguida, apresenta a evolução legislativa, dados estatísticos e políticas públicas desenvolvidas no enfrentamento da violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher no Brasil. Articula apontamentos teóricos sobre os grupos de reflexão de autores de violência com as falas dos homens participantes do grupo pesquisado no intuito de demonstrar como os homens participantes percebem o seu encaminhamento para o grupo reflexivo. Partindo do conceito de identidades, relaciona a busca pelo padrão de masculinidade hegemônica, inatingível para a grande maioria de homens, uma das causas desse tipo de violência, somada a isso, seguem as percepções que os homens apresentam sobre o processo de reflexão desenvolvido no grupo. Os principais resultados apontam para a importância do trabalho dos grupos reflexivos de homens para o enfrentamento da violência contra a mulher como uma forma efetiva de desconstrução de masculinidades muito relacionadas à violência, e a um modelo hegemônico, heteronormativo e patriarcal. Por outro lado, emerge o problema da violência utilizada por ambos os parceiros como uma forma de solução de conflitos, o que implica na necessidade do tratamento do fenômeno em um viés relacional.

Este estudo trata da violência doméstica contra a mulher, no período perinatal, considerando a atenção pré-natal pública. Constatou-se que, durante a gestação a mulher utiliza com maior freqüência os serviços básicos de saúde. Essa presença mais freqüente favorece a identificação de casos de violência. No entanto, estudos relatam baixo percentual de registros desses casos e de encaminhamentos de mulheres, por meio dos serviços de saúde, a Instituições de apoio. Investigou-se como as formas de consumar a violência são reconhecidas pelos profissionais que executam a assistência pré-natal, na atenção básica. Objetivou-se conhecer as concepções e percepções sobre violência doméstica contra a mulher entre profissionais de Saúde que realizaram consultas de pré-natal, no município de Porto Alegre, bem como identificar e analisar as condutas terapêuticas e estratégias utilizadas por esses profissionais na suspeita de casos de violência e na violência declarada, durante as consultas de pré-natal e, finalmente discutir e analisar a problemática dos atendimentos às gestantes, em situação de violência doméstica, realizados na perspectiva dos profissionais e dos registros dos serviços. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo que utiliza entrevistas semi-estruturadas e pesquisa documental na coleta dos dados. Foram entrevistados profissionais que realizam consultas de pré-natal na área de atuação de 12 serviços de atenção básica, em uma Região do Município de Porto Alegre, totalizando 24 profissionais. A partir da pesquisa documental identificaram-se 20 registros de violência contra a mulher, 10 deles relatados anteriormente ao pré-natal, 07, durante o pré-natal e 03, no pósnatal em um período de um ano. Constatou-se que a violência aparece de forma descontextualizada e a conduta centrou-se nas suas conseqüências sobre a saúde física e psicológica da mulher e dos filhos. A análise das entrevistas estruturou-se em 03 categorias: concepções e percepções da violência doméstica; fatores que interferem nos atendimentos às gestantes em situação de violência doméstica e planejamento da ação terapêutica: estratégias de ação. Foi constatado que a maioria dos profissionais entrevistados não reconhece a violência como um problema de saúde pública e, freqüentemente, não a identifica, evidenciando um olhar “naturalizado”, sustentado na violência de gênero. Assim, muitas vezes não registram como agravo à saúde da gestante, gerando omissões no atendimento, sub-registro e invisibilização desses eventos.

It evidences that, during pregnancy, the woman utilizes the health basic care services more frequently. Being more frequent, this presence favors the identification of violence events. However, studies report a low percentage of records of such cases and regarding addressing women to support Institutions through health services. This investigation is about how the ways of making violence are recognized by the professionals that perform the pre-natal assistance at the basic health care. The objective is learning the conceptions and perceptions about domestic violence against woman among health professionals that perform prenatal consultations in the city of Porto Alegre as well as identifying and analyzing the therapeutic conducts and strategies utilized by these professionals on both the suspicion of violence events and on the declared violence during prenatal consultations and, finally, discussing and analyzing the problem of attendances to pregnant women undergoing domestic violence performed under the perspective of professionals and of services records. It is about a qualitative study that utilizes semi-structured interviews and documentary research upon the collection of data. Interview was carried out with professionals that perform prenatal consultations in the area comprised by 12 units of basic care service in a section of the Municipality of Porto Alegre totaling 24 professionals. Starting from the documentary research, out of 20 identified records of violence against woman, 10 were reported as having happened before the prenatal, 07 during the prenatal, and 03 in the postnatal, over the period of one year. It has been found out that violence appears out of the context and the conduct was centered on its consequences on the physical and psychological health of the woman and of the children. The analysis of the interviews was structured into 03 categories: conceptions and perceptions of domestic violence; factors that interfere in the attendances to pregnant women undergoing domestic violence; and, planning of the therapeutic action: action strategies. It has been found out that most of the interviewed professionals do not recognize violence as a public health problem and, frequently, they do not identify it, evidencing a “naturalized” glance, supported in the gender violence. Thus, many times they do not record it as being harmful to the health of the pregnant woman, generating omissions in the attendance and in the sub-records, besides turning these events invisible. Therefore, the naturalization and invisibility within the services and records will also make the elaboration of confronting strategies non-feasible.
Este estudio trata de la violencia doméstica contra la mujer, en el período prenatal, considerando la atención prenatal pública. Se constata que, durante la gestación, la mujer utiliza con mayor frecuencia los servicios básicos de salud. Esa presencia más frecuente favorece la identificación de casos de violencia. Sin embargo, estudios relatan bajo porcentaje de registros de esos casos y de acciones para encaminar a las mujeres, por medio de los servicios de salud, a Instituciones de apoyo. Se investiga como las formas de consumar la violencia son reconocidas por los profesionales, que ejecutan el cuidado prenatal, en la atención básica. El objetivo es conocer las concepciones y percepciones acerca de la violencia doméstica contra la mujer entre los profesionales de salud, que realizan consultas de prenatal en la municipalidad de Porto Alegre, bien como identificar y analizar las conductas terapéuticas y estrategias utilizadas por esos profesionales en la sospecha de casos de violencia y en la violencia declarada, durante las consultas de prenatal y, finalmente, discutir y analizar la problemática de los atendimientos a las mujeres embarazadas, en situación de violencia doméstica, realizados bajo la perspectiva de los profesionales y de los registros de los servicios. Se trata de un estudio cualitativo que utiliza entrevistas semiestructuradas e investigación documental en la recolección de los datos. Fueron entrevistados los profesionales, que realizan consultas de prenatal en el área de actuación de 12 servicios de atención básica en una Región de la Municipalidad de Porto Alegre, totalizando 24 profesionales. A partir de la investigación documental, se identificaron 20 registros de violencia contra la mujer, 10 de ellos relatados anteriormente al prenatal, 07, durante el prenatal y 03, en el posnatal, en un período de un año. Se constató que la violencia aparece de forma descontextualizada y la conducta se centró en sus consecuencias acerca de la salud física y psicológica de la mujer y de los hijos. El análisis de las entrevistas se estructuró en 03 categorías: concepciones y percepciones de la violencia doméstica; factores que interfieren en los atendimientos a las mujeres embarazadas, en situación de violencia doméstica; y, planeamiento de la acción terapéutica: estrategias de acción. Se observa que la mayoría de los profesionales entrevistados no reconoce la violencia como un problema de salud pública y, a frecuencia, no la identifica, evidenciando un mirar “naturalizado”, sustentado en la violencia de género. Así, muchas veces, no registran como agravo a la salud de la mujer embarazada, generando omisiones en el atendimiento y en el subregistro así como la invisibilidad de esos eventos. A consecuencia, la naturalización y la invisibilidad en los servicios y registros, también, inviabilizarán la elaboración de estrategias de enfrentamiento.

Economic violence occurs in daily life of battered women. Husbands use three means – economic control, economic exploitation, and work interference to hinder women from obtaining or consuming economic resources and force most of the battered women to live a life of economic hardship and need the assistance of economic resources. However, at present, there are only a few academic studies in Taiwan investigating the issue of economic violence. Workers’ perspective towards economic violence and intervention experiences are worthy of in-depth investigation. It is hoped that this study can raise wider attention to economic violence and its intervention. This study enrolled social workers engaging in marital violence prevention as the research subjects, and used in-depth interviews to interview 12 workers. This study found that economic violence is established based upon patriarchy, and women’s family system and patriarchy jointly trap women in a violent environment. The intervention model of economic violence is divided into abstract and practical operation levels. Abstract level refers to workers’ influence on women’s value and guidance to help women to perceive economic violence and discover personal strengths. Practical operation level refers to workers’ specific strategies helping women obtain stable economic status, including the invention model aiming to maintain safety of women and that of economic empowerment. The former is workers’ assessment on women’s economic and living needs and provision of assistance in the aspects of housing, employment, and laws. The latter emphasizes personal empowerment, as well as workers’ enhancement of women’s financial capability to stabilize economic life. According to the research results, this study proposed the following suggestion: workers are advised to learn financial knowledge, develop educational training for intervention of economic violence, put gender equality education into practice, and make public daycare resources popular and flexible.

Full textAbstract:
The study is concerned with deconstructing the effects of patriarchal discourses on the identities of women experiencing domestic violence in marital relationships. It is explored within a feminist pastoral care framework within the Basotho culture. This is seen through the lens of Basotho culture and the Christian church as understood in an emerging postmodern culture.
The study explores and deconstructs patriarchal beliefs around the identities of Basotho women experiencing domestic violence in marital relationships through discursive conversations.
This study has sought to benefit any Mosotho woman who suffers under the control and abuse of her husband. The study does this by giving her a voice to deconstruct the silencing and disempowering patriarchal stories/identities. In turn it hopefully allows her to construct her own empowering preferred multiple identities without blaming anybody.
However, by the very nature of this study,’ the effects of patriarchy on identities of Basotho women experiencing domestic violence in marital relations’ there was partiality and subjectivity throughout my discussions and reflections, as I found it hard to stand back from my resentment.Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology

The Purpose of this research is to explore the experiences and needs of women experiencing protective order violation and to expect social workers to provide services. In addition, this research collects experiences and views of social workers, hoping to provide appropriate assistance to women. Adopting the qualitative research method and in-depth interviews, the researcher has interviewed six battered women and six social workers to understand their experiences of protective order violation. The research found that the battered women's awareness of the protection order would affect their assistance concept. Women who experienced protective order violation from their intimate partner, they were in the situations of the threat of violence, hard to find jobs, economic pressures, and responsibility for family care. According to the severity of the violence and assistance concept, women had different ways to response to the violence. Women’s help-seeking experiences would affect their confidence out of violence. The following three reasons would cause women’s dilemma: worried for help, negative attitude of professionals, and the protective order violation cases sentenced light punishment. Therefore, women hoped that the public authority intervenes the protective order violation cases, the supports from social workers, protecting personal safety, and increasing advocacy concept of domestic violence prevention. The social workers were expected to play multivariate roles in the protective order violation cases. However, the social workers felt lacking strength because of the excessive caseload and the frustrations from the domestic violence prevention network. The social workers wish horizontal cooperation of the domestic violence prevention network to implement protective order. According to the research result, the researcher suggests some recommendations as the domestic violence prevention network’s reference.

The present research is based upon “Judgment Sampling”. Meanwhile, 78 prisoners of Taichung Women’s Prison are the testing objects. A BPI (Basic Personality Inventory) test was made, and an in-depth interview was arranged for 5 prisoners. The findings of synthetic study are as follows: 1. Their negative traits are more obvious than the ordinary adults. A trait of hypochondrasis is obvious for 62% of these prisoners. A trait of depression is obvious for 59.20% of these prisoners. A trait of interpersonal problems is obvious for 62% of these prisoners. A trait of persecutory is obvious for 83.10% of these prisoners. A trait of anxiety is obvious for 67.70% of these prisoners. A trait of thing disorder is obvious for 73.20% of these prisoners. A trait of impulse expression is obvious for 69.20% of these prisoners. A trait of social introversion is obvious for 62% of these prisoners. A trait of self-depression is obvious for 73.20% of these prisoners. A trait of deviation is obvious for 84.50% of these prisoners. 2. Different stresses accumulated for years: (1) Stress from family care; (2) Stress from child nursing; (3) Stress from economic and financial position; (4) Stress from debts reimbursement; (5) Stress from work; and (6) Stress from affections. 3. Violence act situation: (1) When both physical and mental conditions are often spotty. (2) Most of injured parties lost resistance ability. (3) When the criminal act took place, no any prohibiter was over there. (4) Most of interviewees expressed that they felt pessimistic at that moment. On the basis of analytic results of the research, I hereby make the underlying suggestions: 1. Providing diversified consulting and counseling channels: In addition to improvement of physical and mental health for the women, the secondary prevention job relating to criminal prevention can be also reinforced. 2. Building school guidance education and society guidance education: Not only can it mend bad culture and custom and set up correct concepts, but also can strengthen the primary prevention job. 3. Fostering independent capability and self-enrichment for women. 4. Improving crisis alertness for front-line reporting unit. 5. Consistently enhancing community resources supporting system and building up its operation in order to avoid becoming a formal and useless entity.
