Abstract:

Empowerment is a key goal in anti-violence programs against women, which can help women control, prevent, and cope effectively with domestic violence. However, there are no specific guidelines for women's empowerment interventions in this area. This study aimed to explore the dimensions of women's empowerment to cope effectively with domestic violence in a sample of women and related experts. In this qualitative content analysis, data was gathered via 21 individual semi-constructed interviews and two five-person focus group discussions. Thirty-one participants were selected by the purposive sa

<p class="06IsiAbstrak">As a group who are considered weak, it is not surprising that the cases of violence against women tend to happen repeatedly in Indonesia. Although there are a plethora of violence such as physical violence, psychological violence, sexual violence, and economic violence, these days physical violence remains the number one case in society. Generally economic violence is completely an invisible form of violence in society. This is essentially deemed a small matter, in which one of the causes is the concept of authoritarianism embedded in society. This study aims to i

The purpose of this article is to analyze the effect of different forms of violence on Mexican women’s attitudes and decision-making capacity. Specifically, attitudes toward gender equality are included as a mediator between violence and women’s decision-making capacity. Results reveal that attitudes are a partial mediator between physical, sexual, and psychological violence and women’s decision-making capacity. While physical, economic, and sexual violence negatively affect women’s decision-making capacity, economic violence against women increases their involvement in decision-making.

Sexual violence is an act of rape, sexual coercion, and harrasment, as well as sexual contact with coercion or threat using force. It is timely to consider that sexual violence is discussed in schools and take it as serious issue with empathy towards the victims and not only being considered as women’s issues that can only be discussed among women. Public awareness against it is crucial to be raised. This is important for women and girls as victim of violence to be survivors.

How is political violence gendered? We connect the traditional political violence literature’s emphasis on categorizing attacks to the gender and politics literature’s analysis of the barriers to women’s political participation. Our framework separates gendered political violence into three elements. Gendered motives appear when perpetrators use violence to preserve hegemonic men’s control of politics. Gendered forms emphasize how gender roles and tropes differentially shape men’s and women’s experiences of violence. Gendered impacts capture the subjective meaning-making processes that occur a

Abstract:

This book, by authors Sabrina Karim and Daniel W. Hill, Jr. takes a critical look at the role played by women in political violence, examining the ways in which treatment of women can both reduce and exacerbate such problems. Regarding the concept of ‘gender equality’ as overly broad and prone to conflating disparate issues, they instead focus on the concept of ‘women’s status’ looking specifically at four key components: women’s inclusion, women’s rights, harm to women, and societal beliefs about women’s roles. For each of these, the authors develop measurements which allow them to assess the

The paper is devoted to the protection of women from violence and discrimination within the framework of the activities of the bodies of the Organization of American States (OAS). The Special Mechanisms for the Protection of Women’s Rights of the OAS form the Inter-American system for the protection of women’s rights, while only the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (hereinafter referred to as the Court) has jurisdiction to make decisions binding on states. An analysis of the judicial precedents of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights allows us to conclude that violence against women in

This study examined the mental health of postsecondary students who reported sexual violence and explored if mental health effects of depression, anxiety, stress as well as posttraumatic stress were related to the types and forms of sexual violence experienced. A sample of 924 culturally diverse female-identifying students in Ontario, Canada answered questionnaires about sexual violence experiences, mental health, and educational outcomes. The results of the study revealed that students reporting any form of sexual violence had higher scores for depression, anxiety, stress, and posttraumatic s

Abstract:

What is Violence against women? The United Nations defines violence against women as “any act of gender- based violence that results in, or is, likely to result in physical, sexual or mental harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or private life.” Violence is a violation of women’s fundamental rights, often with devastating consequences. In countries where there is no law against domestic violence, as is the case in 46 countries, women’s average life expectancy is typically shorter than men’s.

Abstract:

Despite equivocal findings on whether men or women are more violent, the negative impact of violence is greatest for women. To determine how gender asymmetry in perpetration affects women’s health status, we conducted a study in two phases with 835 African American, Euro-American, and Mexican American low-income women in Project HOW: Health Outcomes of Women. In Phase 1, we used severity and frequency of women’s and male partners’ violence to create six groups: nonviolent (NV), uni-directional male (UM) perpetrator, uni-directional female (UF) perpetrator and, when both partners were violent,

Abstract:

The increase in women’s participation in political life in recent decades has resulted in research explaining how women’s presence (or absence) changes the form, nature and content of politics. However, a gender perspective is still lacking, especially in the relationship between political participation and violence. Violence against women in politics is increasingly recognised around the world as a significant barrier to women’s participation in political life. The aim of the research is to find out whether politically active women are more exposed to violence (physical, psychological, symbol

Abstract:

This investigation of sexual harassment in university sport begins by developing a theoretical framework based on feminist analyses of male violence, and examining the links between violence and the ideology of male sport. The organization of sport and physical education in Canadian universities is then described, and university women’s experiences of male violence in sport-related contexts is investigated, with particular reference to the issues of power relations in coaching and control of women’s bodies. Relevant findings from a preliminary survey of women’s experiences of sexual harassment

Abstract:

Since the end of official empire postcolonial research has changed our image of colonialism to foreground the multiple forms of violence that lay at the heart of it. Drawing on increasingly critical feminist research approaches, I argue that this understanding must and can be extended to our conception of white women’s role in colonialism. In order to push this research further, this paper advocates for a more systematic approach to the study of European women in colonial violence. Therefore, using case studies of both German and British empires, a theoretical argument is made to show how we c

Abstract:

Gender scholars show that women in situations of civil war have an impressive record of agency in the social and political spheres. Civilian women’s political mobilization during conflict includes active involvement in civil society organizations, such as nongovernmental organizations or social movements, and public articulation of grievances – in political protest, for example. Existing explanations of women’s political mobilization during conflict emphasize the role of demographic imbalances opening up spaces for women. This article proposes a complementary driving factor: women mobilize pol
