Forms Of Violence

This study aims to describe the forms and effects of violence experienced by the main female character in Suqûth Al-Imâm by Nawal El-Sa’dawi. As a woman, el-Sa’dâwi has a high sensitivity in describing the feelings of a woman experiencing violence. The method used to uncover the forms and effects of violence on women in this novel is descriptive qualitative. The data displayed are words, phrases, sentences, and discourses that contain elements of violence against women. Applying the style of radical feminism in analyzing the data, this research shows that, first, the forms of violence against the main character are physical, psychological and sexual violence; second, the effects of violence experienced by the main character are physical injury, psychological disorders, and behavioral disorders. Thus, it concludes that repeated violence against women may result in prolonged suffering and is not acceptable to women both physically and mentally.

Effects Of Violence

© 2019, equinox publishing. Violence against women is a pervasive problem, both in New Zealand society and around the world. Yet assessing the scale and effects of violence is difficult, as many women face barriers to disclosure. This paper examines women's disclosures of violence in calls for help to a victim support agency. We use conversation analysis and focus on membership categorisation to describe the different ways disclosures are built and understood in situ. It was only in a minority of cases (around 20%), that callers made direct reference to violence, or categorised themselves explicitly as victims, albeit with indications of problems in speaking. However, for the majority, women did not mention the words 'victim' or 'violence' at all. Instead, culturally shared knowledge associated with categories of people (e.g. ex-partners) and places (e.g. home and jail) were used to build and interpret a description as a disclosure of violence. Our work contributes to an understanding of women's disclosures of violence by examining them directly in the setting where they occur. We discuss some of the insights gained from examining interactions in situ, and the practical applications of our work for improving services for women who have experienced violence.

Violence Against Girls

This paper is addressing a theoretical review of the violence against women, as reported and described by world health and human rights organizations, but also by women's advocacy and NGOs for women's rights. There were sketched the main definitions and framing of the acts of violence against girls and women, as well as the effects of violence against women, individually – on the physical, emotional, and mental health of the victim - and socially, in terms of long-term costs in providing support and specialized treatment to victims and their caregivers.

Biological Differences

IntroductionThe complex phenomenon of violence against women is determined by gender relations that, from a historical and social construction of female and male, and the biological differences which gives unequal power between men and women. This results in increased vulnerability of women, exposing them to physical, psychological and sexual violence. The history of violence in the early life of trapped women can contribute to their involvement in crimes and misdemeanors.ObjectiveTo review the production of national and international scientific knowledge about the effects of violence on women's health before her incarceration.AimsMeet the publications about the consequences of violence on women's health before she was imprisoned.MethodIntegrative review of scientific literature to answer: “What are the implications of violence on women's health before their incarceration?” Studies of the last 5 years delimited in the databases LILACS, PUBMED and PsycInfo. Selected primary studies with women incarcerated people over 18 years, in Portuguese, English and Spanish language. Excluded studies that addressed violence inside the prison and wife as perp. An instrument for identification of studies and their categorization was used.ResultsSixteen selected articles that have addressed the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder, suicide, drug abuse, sexual abuse and re-victimization (where the abuser was usually a family member or intimate partner).ConclusionThere is a lack of a specific instrument to investigate the occurrence of violence against women before being arrested. Scientific and policy initiatives are required to develop specific intervention strategies for women incarcerated victimized before prison.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

The Public Sphere

This paper describes how radio and theatre joint together in a rural community in Ecuador as instruments for women’s rights claiming, highlighting their roles in the public sphere. By means of a qualitative methodology with focus groups, women could show their reality, enclosed in a patriarchal culture that reflects the different faces of violence against women. This action research shows as results that woman´s role as a social subject is invisible and that inequality of roles at household chores affects the woman and that this practice is strongly reinforced in the discourse towards sons and daughters at these homes. Given these circumstances, in edu-communication framework, both radio and theatre stand out with a social and liberating approach in the fight for equal rights and opportunities in men and women relationships.
