Abstract Background: Ethiopia is signatory to various international and regional conventions, agreements and protocols related to violence against women, yet the many women suffer violence. To date, very little is known about how these conventions and protocols are implemented, and the barriers associated with implementation. Our study explored the barriers to implementation of domestic violence against women prevention policies and enablers in the Northwestern Ethiopia.Methods: We conducted in-depth interviews, key informant interviews and focus group discussions among a total of 43 participants purposefully selected from different sectors and communities. Data were transcribed, coded and thematically analyzed using NVivo 11 software.Results: Community-traditional gender-norms, budget constraints, poor planning and non-adherence to planned activities, lack of commitment, poor integration and inter-sectoral collaboration served as barriers to implementation of policies aimed at preventing domestic violence in Ethiopia. However, enablers of domestic implementation of violence prevention programs include community health extension program, women development ‘army’, policy frameworks, government’s political willingness, presence of school-based gender clubs.Conclusions: The implementation of existing evidence and policies was still poor at the community level due to lack of inter-sectoral collaboration, poor integration and stakeholders with competing priorities among others. Future intervention programs that would sustain and synergized domestic violence prevention, should integrate intersectoral collaboration and service within existing program.

Examining a number of issues of violence against women in Indonesialately, has placed women as victims for a very long period of time. This can be seen bythe variation in a number of cases of violence that have implications for all forms ofviolence ranging from physical to intimidation, harassment, humiliation and restrictionof rights as social beings even more visible and organized, namely in the form oftrafficking in women or the coercion of selling themselves. So that women in Indonesiaas a weak group must receive protection. Based on the background of the problemoutlined above, there are several important issues to be discussed further. The problemsare as follows: How is multicomplex legal protection for women as victims of violenceand discrimination, What are the obstacles faced in providing legal protection againstwomen as victims of violence and discrimination. Legal Use Theory. This type ofresearch used in this research is normative legal research which is a scientific researchprocedure to find the truth based on legal scientific logic from the normative side.Violence against women is any action that violates, inhibits, negates the enjoyment andneglect of women's human rights. Based on Komnas Perempuan data, the number ofreported cases of sexual violence in 2017 increased by 74% from 2016. Even in 2019cases of violence against women increased by 14% with a number of 406,178 cases. Theneed for guarantees of protection for women comes along with the awareness to providespecial protection because of the many problems faced by women such as physical andpsychological violence, discrimination, underdevelopment in various fields, and so on.Legal protection for women as victims of violence and discrimination is currentlyregulated in Indonesian law, namely the Criminal Code, Law Number 23 of 2004concerning the Elimination of Domestic Violence, Law Number 21 of 2007 concerningEradication Criminal Acts on Trafficking in Persons, Law Number 39 Year 1999Concerning Human Rights, Presidential Instruction Number 9 Year 2000 concerning Gender Mainstreaming (PUG), Presidential Decree Number 181 Year 1998 concerningthe Formation of the National Commission on Violence against Women or KomnasPerempuan, which was amended by Perpres Number 65 of 2005. Besides that, severalother forms of direct efforts made in providing legal protection for women are throughexisting institutions such as, Integrated Service Centers, and Legal Aid Institutions.There are several obstacles encountered in implementing legal protection againstwomen victims of violence and disks elimination which is caused by several factorsincluding, the substance of the law, law enforcement, culture, facilities and facilities. Forthis reason, there needs to be a number of improvements to a number of components thataffect law enforcement for violence experienced by women, both from human resourceslaw enforcement officers, the establishment of legislation that specifically regulateswomen, and maximizes a number of facilities related to the interests of victims of violenceso that implementation in providing legal protection to women can be properlyaccommodated.

Changes in attitudes, values, and beliefs about the many manifestations of violence against women are a necessary complement to globalizing rights standards, law enforcement, public policy, and grassroots empowerment. In Chapter 10, we will analyze the requisites and results of campaigns for norm change in women’s agency, masculine identities, and sexual self-determination. Communication campaigns aim to reshape community consciousness of gender regimes in South Africa, India, and Brazil. Global programs adopted by local movements promote women’s agency and empowerment to resist violence in India and Pakistan. Both global programs and transnational coalitions work to engage men and transform violent masculinities in India, South Africa, and Brazil. Finally, we will trace a variety of civil society cultural initiatives asserting sexual self-determination in Mexico, Pakistan, Russia, Ukraine, and China.

We, the guest editors, have come to the topic of queer and trans experiences of sexual violence from different paths even though we started our careers in Psychology at the same institution (Rock Chalk Jayhawk, Go KU!). Dr. Anderson is, first and foremost, a violence researcher, and Flanders a queer and trans health researcher. However, we have come together to collaborate in the last few years in recognition of how little scholars in the fields of violence research (frequently named violence against women) and sexual and gender minority (SGM) health research collaborate despite the many intersections and overlapping work of the fields. These fields have a great deal in common - both are invested in improving the lives of people who are marginalized. Yet, we saw a need to foster greater space and dialogue for violence researchers and SGM health researchers in psychology and related disciplines regarding the stark sexual violence disparities SGM people experience. We see this special issue as constituting a way in which this dialogue can be continued, as well as serving as an important resource on SGM sexual violence for both researchers and clinicians.

PurposeThe importance of contextualizing theory development in entrepreneurship education has recently been raised. Nevertheless, efforts often lead to rather decontextualized concepts and generic theories that are unable to bring together the complexities of applying entrepreneurship education to particular institutional logics and local pedagogical understandings. Based on a narrow and selective literature review, this study aims to identify and reconstruct how entrepreneurship education can adjust to the disciplines in which it unfolds. To contribute to transcending this dilemma, this article raises the following question: How can entrepreneurship education be understood in a differentiated manner and contextually reconstructed to the many disciplines and professions in which it unfolds?Design/methodology/approachThe study follows the general idea of an integrative literature review, meaning that a few references, in particular Jones' work on a signature pedagogy for entrepreneurship education, led to a deeper search of the older background literature from Shulman on the idea of a signature pedagogy for professions.FindingsThe authors identify three existing notions (MK-0, MK-1 and MK-2) of signature pedagogy within entrepreneurship education and propose a fourth notion that combines the established understandings into a signature pedagogy, MK-3, in which entrepreneurship education should be adjusted to the disciplines in which it unfolds, by integrating and balancing general, disciplinary/professional and entrepreneurial purposes of education.Originality/valueAccepting that context matters to entrepreneurship education creates a need for understanding the contextual influence on pedagogies. The paper contributes by establishing a theory-based framework that can help educators formulate and balance general, professional and entrepreneurial purposes of education, depending on the particular context of their educational activities. Furthermore, the paper is a call to action for additional scholarship that identifies avenues for future research.

Violence against women, regardless of their nature, remains a scourge that societies have been struggling with for a very long time and which, unfortunately, for various reasons are difficult to eradicate. Among the many side effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, it has become clear that the current health crisis provided a breeding ground for an increase in domestic and intra-family violence. In France, the incidence of violence against women is estimated to have increased by 30% during the first round of containment. Our study aims to analyze the situation in the French system, to present the legislative framework in this area, but also the institutions with a major role in the fight against violence.
