In this article, violence against women in the former Yugoslavia is analyzed, with special emphasis on the influence of war, nationalism, and militarism on its occurrence. Violence against women in both war and areas that were not directly influenced by conflict are examined. Its main aim is to illustrate how militarism and nationalism—as contradictions to democracy—decrease the safety of women and shape their vulnerability in more variant ways, and with more traumatic consequences, than occur in societies with long traditions of democracy and during so called peacetimes. Special attention is drawn to the sexual, physical, and psychological violence against women in war and refuge, as well as to domestic and other forms of violence in areas not directly affected by war. Criminalization of society and inappropriate formal social control, consequences of both the war and a lack of democracy, are seen as generators of insecurity and victimization of women in the areas that are not directly influenced by conflict.

Chapter 13 provides an overview of psychological forms of violence against women in politics. Psychological violence inflicts trauma on individuals’ mental state or emotional well-being. It seeks to disempower targets by degrading, demoralizing, or shaming them—often through efforts to instill fear, cause stress, or harm their credibility. These acts may occur inside and outside official political settings and be carried out in person, by telephone, or via digital means like email and social media. Experiencing it firsthand, targets (and their allies) have taken the lead in devising and sharing coping strategies, empowering individuals and mobilizing groups to call out psychological violence and counteract its pernicious effects.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to document the impact of participation in microfinance programs on domestic violence against women. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses the survey data from 69 villages in Bangladesh and the instrumental variable approach to estimate the effect of participation in microcredit programs on domestic violence. Findings The results show that women’s participation in microcredit programs does not reduce domestic violence. However, this result is possible only when the authors do not distinguish between female borrowers who have control over credit and those who do not have control over credit. Classifying female borrowers into these two categories can significantly change the results. The authors report significantly lower physical violence against those female who have control over credit. In case of psychological violence, the authors report no significant impact of control over microcredit. Originality/value The novelty of the paper lies in distinguishing between physical and psychological violence.

Domestic violence against women is an important health issue, but few studies have focused on city of residence and ethnic differences. To estimate the prevalence of various forms of domestic violence and certain related factors, with a specific focus on city of residence and ethnicity, we studied 1820 married women attending public health centers in 4 large cities in Khuzestan Province, southwestern Islamic Republic of Iran. We used an interviewer-administered questionnaire for data collection. The prevalence of some forms of lifetime domestic violence against women was 47.3%. The prevalence of physical, psychological, and any form of lifetime violence was the highest in Dezful (25.7%, 54.8%, and 57.7%, resp.). For sexual violence, the highest prevalence was reported in Ahvaz (17.7%). The highest prevalence of physical and sexual violence during any point of life was reported by Arab women (25.1% and 16.7%). The experience of all forms of violence was significantly associated with city of residence. Results of regression logistic analysis revealed that all of the forms of violence except psychological violence were statistically significantly associated with ethnicity (P<0.05).

Domestic Violence Perpetrators

Families are places where everyone in the family feels safe and comfortable from acts o violence, but in reality violence also accurs whitin the family. The enactment of Law No. 23 of 2004 on the abolition of domestic violence (hereinafter referred to as the Law of Domestic Violence) aims to prevent all forms of domestic violence, protect domestic violence victims, prosecute domestic violence perpetrators, and maintain wholeness harmonious and prosperous households. In handling it is sometimes resolved peacefully. This raises the question of whether the Law on Elimination of Domestic Violence has guaranteed the settlement of Domestic Violence according to its objectives? All forms of violence against women and children constitute a violation of human rights, so it is necessary to be protected by their dignity and dignity and guaranteed their right to life in accordance with their nature and nature without discrimination. The Criminal Act contained in Article 5 of the Act states that prohibited violence is physical violence, psychological violence, sexual violence, or neglect of the household. Many cases of domestic violence are reported but not a few are repealed by the victim for various reasons, such as still loving the perpetrator, and the perpetrator is the breadwinner in the household. The resolution of cases of domestic violence is also up to the court's decision, but this certainly brings the consequences of the objective of the Law on Elimination of Domestic Violence. Despite all forms of prevention of domestic violence, protecting the victim, prosecuting the perpetrator is reached but if the case is passed on to the court decision whether the goal of maintaining a harmonious and prosperous household unity can be achieved. The resolution of domestic violence requires the wisdom of the Law Enforcers (Police, Prosecutors, Judges).

Abstract: Conceptually, the existence of religion is actually an alternative for the creation of a reality without violence, especially against women. Islam introduces the concept of preventing violence against women which refers to substantive verses (ushuliyah), as well as a general purpose / basis of sharia (maqashid al-syariah). In the context of married life, there are some basic rules put forward by the Al Quran as a guarantee for the benefit of a wife to avoid physical and psychological violence in relation to fulfilling her rights as a woman. This paper seeks to analyze and find the idea of benefit outlined by sharia in its relevance to efforts to prevent violence in a broad sense as upholding the principles of justice, human rights, and protection of life as the embodiment of maqashid al sharia. In understanding several verses, it is often questioned that the interpretation tends to give priority to men and downplay metaphors. In fact, these verses do not mean to denigrate women, they only refer to social roles and roles based on gender (gender roles), even generally having a history of sabab al-nuzul, so they are very historical. Generally verses like this are intended to support and realize the general purpose (maqashid) of the essential verses (ushul) which are also the central theme of the Quran. Abstrak: Secara konsep, keberadaan agama sesungguhnya menjadi alternatif bagi terciptanya realitas tanpa kekerasan khususnya terhadap perempuan. Islam memperkenalkan konsep pencegahan kekerasan terhadap perempuan yang mengacu pada ayat-ayat subtantif (ushuliyah), sekaligus menjadi tujuan umum/dasar syariah (maqashid al-syariah). Dalam konteks kehidupan berumah tangga terdapat beberapa aturan dasar yang diketengahkan Al Quran sebagai jaminan kemaslahatan bagi seorang istri untuk terhindar dari tindakan kekerasan fisik maupun psikis dalam kaitannya dengan pemenuhan hak-haknya sebagai perempuan. Tulisan ini berupaya menganalisis dan menemukan gagasan kemaslahatan yang digariskan syariat dalam relevansinya dengan upaya pencegahan tindak kekerasan dalam makna yang luas sebagai penegakkan prinsip keadilan, hak asasi, dan perlindungan hidup sebagai perwujudan maqashid al-syariah. Dalam memahami beberapa ayat, sering dipermasalahkan penafsiran yang cenderung memberi keutamaan kepada  laki-laki dan mengecilkan perumpuan. Padahal sesungguhnya ayat-ayat ini tidak bermaksud  merendahkan kaum perempuan, ia hanya merujuk pada fungsi dan peran sosial berdasarkan jenis kelamin (gender roles), bahkan umumnya mempunyai riwayat sabab al-nuzul, jadi sifatnya sangat historis. Umumnya ayat-ayat seperti ini dimaksudkan untuk mendukung dan mewujudkan tujuan umum (maqashid) ayat-ayat esensial (ushul) yang juga menjadi tema sentral Al Quran.

Aims: The aims of this cross-sectional study were to examine the prevalence of lifetime exposure to sexual, physical and psychological violence among a representative sample of women and men in Sweden, and to analyze if there were gender differences regarding the types of violence the participants were exposed to and by whom it was perpetrated. Methods: A survey containing questions about lifetime experiences of sexual, physical and psychological violence was sent to a national sample of 10,000 women and 10,000 men aged 18–74; 56.8% of the women and 46.5% of the men agreed to participate. Results: Sexual violence in childhood was reported by 26.4% of women and 22.1% experienced sexual violence in adulthood. Among men, 11% disclosed experiences of sexual violence in childhood and 4.5% in adulthood. Physical violence was experienced by 39.3% of women in childhood and by 18.8% as adults, often by a present or former partner. Among men, 59.3% were exposed to physical violence during childhood, often by a peer, and 20.4% as adults. Psychological violence in childhood was experienced by 58.1% of women in childhood and by 21.8% in adulthood. Among male respondents, 69.2% reported experiences of physiological violence in childhood, often by a peer, and 9.4% in adulthood. Conclusions: Lifetime violence exposure is common in the Swedish population. Though it affects both women and men, the patterns of type of violence and perpetrators are different. The results suggest that violence prevention early in life is important to target.

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.
