The problem of gender-based violence in Mexico has been increased considerably. Many social associations and governmental institutions have addressed this problem in different ways. In the context of computer science, some effort has been developed to deal with this problem through the use of machine learning approaches to strengthen the strategic decision making. In this work, a deep learning neural network application to identify gender-based violence on Twitter messages is presented. A total of 1,857,450 messages (generated in Mexico) were downloaded from Twitter: 61,604 of them were manually tagged by human volunteers as negative, positive or neutral messages, to serve as training and test data sets. Results presented in this paper show the effectiveness of deep neural network (about 80% of the area under the receiver operating characteristic) in detection of gender violence on Twitter messages. The main contribution of this investigation is that the data set was minimally pre-processed (as a difference versus most state-of-the-art approaches). Thus, the original messages were converted into a numerical vector in accordance to the frequency of word’s appearance and only adverbs, conjunctions and prepositions were deleted (which occur very frequently in text and we think that these words do not contribute to discriminatory messages on Twitter). Finally, this work contributes to dealing with gender violence in Mexico, which is an issue that needs to be faced immediately.

The movements for racial justice, health equity, and economic relief have been activated in the contentious and challenging climate of 2020, with COVID-19 and social protest. In this context, feminist scholars, anti-violence advocates, and transformative justice practitioners have renewed their call for substantive changes to all forms of gender-based violence. This article offers a genealogy of the battered women’s movement in the U.S. from the lived experiences of two longtime activists. These reflections offer an analysis of the political praxis which evolved over the past half century of the anti-violence movement, and which has foregrounded the current social, political, and ideological framing of gender-based violence today. We conclude with a view to the future, focusing on the possibilities for transformative justice and abolition feminism as a return to our radical roots and ancestral histories.

O presente trabalho consiste em um estudo qualitativo das representações sociais de imigrantes venezuelanas na América do Sul no período de 2016 a 2019, a partir de manchetes de notícias divulgadas em jornais digitais brasileiros. O objetivo é verificar a ocorrência ou não de veiculações que constituam de forma explícita ou implícita uma violação à dignidade e aos direitos dessas mulheres, ao fomentar ou incitar a xenofobia e a violência de gênero na sociedade através de palavras, frases ou expressões capazes de provocar um aniquilamento simbólico. Para tanto, realizou-se um estudo bibliográfico e documental acerca das vulnerabilidades sociais presentes nos processos imigratórios contemporâneos, que foi consubstanciado com a análise de conteúdo (BARDIN, 2009), em abordagem qualitativa, de manchetes publicadas em jornais digitais brasileiros. A partir da análise realizada, foi possível inferir que estes veículos de comunicação vêm frequentemente descrevendo a migração venezuelana como um problema, mas em conotação negativa, sem o cuidado de descrição do contexto de forma mais clara e abrangente da questão a ser noticiada.   Xenofobia y violencia de género: un análisis de los titulares de las mujeres venezolanas en el periodismo web brasileño El presente trabajo consiste en un estudio cualitativo de las representaciones sociales de los inmigrantes venezolanos en América del Sur en el período de 2016 a 2019, a partir de titulares de noticias publicados en periódicos digitales brasileños.

The objective is to verify the occurrence or not of placements that explicitly or implicitly constitute a violation of the dignity and rights of these women, by promoting or inciting xenophobia and gender violence in society through words, phrases or expressions capable of provoking a symbolic annihilation. To this end, a bibliographic and documentary study was carried out on the social vulnerabilities present in contemporary immigration processes, which was substantiated with content analysis (BARDIN, 2009), in a qualitative approach, of headlines published in Brazilian digital newspapers. From the analysis carried out, it was possible to infer that these media outlets have often been describing Venezuelan migration as a problem, but in a negative connotation, without taking care to describe the context more clearly and comprehensively of the issue to be reported.

This study reports experiences of combining digital technologies and facilitated interventions to address gender-based violence in rural areas. The methodology was based on the Safecity platform with a combination of communicative methods, digital technologies, and participant-led interventions to address gender-based violence in the State of Bihar and the Satara district in rural India. The findings indicate that the most common barriers to creating change in rural communities include patriarchal mindsets that foster a culture of silence around women's rights, lack of education, digital illiteracy, and lack of access to digital tools and services. Notwithstanding these obstacles, rural Indian women and girls participated in an intervention to create a new narrative informed by technological solutions that addressed gender violence in their communities.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) has been declared a global epidemic by the World Health Organization. Although the attention paid to both the perpetrators and victims of gender-based violence has increased, scientific research is still lacking in regard to the representations of operators involved in interventions and management. Therefore, the following study explores how the representations of operators affect how gender violence can be managed and combatted through an ecological approach to this phenomenon, in addition to highlighting the roles of organizational-level services and their cultural and symbolic substrates. In total, 35 health and social professionals were interviewed and textual materials were analyzed by thematic analysis. The evidence suggests that services contrasting gender-based violence utilize different representations and management approaches. The authors hope that these differences can become a resource, rather than a limitation, when combatting gender-based violence through the construction of more integrated networks and a greater dialogue among different services, in order to make interventions designed to combat gender-based violence more effective.

Tulisan ini—dengan merujuk kepada tema besar “Kekerasan Gender Berbasis Online di Era Pandemi”—mencoba memaparkan bagaimana kontribusi sistem kapitalisme, budaya patriarki, dan globalisasi dalam mendukung lestarinya kekerasan gender secara daring yang sedang marak terjadi di tengah pandemi. Temuan pada tulisan menunjukkan bahwa sistem kapitalisme memegang peranan kunci dalam mendorong terciptanya budaya patriarki dan globalisasi, yang pada akhirnya mendorong langgengnya kekerasan berbasis gender. Berangkat dari perspektif marxist-feminism dengan premis utama bahwa sistem kapitalisme melakukan aksi eksploitasi atas kaum proletar dengan melegalkan segala cara termasuk membangun kesadaran palsu—false consciousness, temuan pada tulisan akan dielaborasikan lebih lanjut melalui tiga bahasan utama. Pertama, akan dipaparkan temuan bahwa opresi terhadap kaum wanita di tengah lingkungan yang patriarki merupakan salah satu upaya manifestasi elit kapitalis untuk melanggengkan sistem kapitalisme. Kedua, komodifikasi wanita—seperti isu human trafficking— dipercaya sebagai konsekuensi dari sistem kapitalis yang memberikan kebebasan komodifikasi atas segala sumber daya. Terakhir, akan dipaparkan fenomena globalisasi—sebagai salah satu produk liberalisme-kapital—yang dipercaya telah mendorong masifnya aksi human trafficking berbasis daring. Pada akhirnya, melalui temuan dan bahasan terkait kapitalisme sebagai sistem kunci yang telah melanggengkan kekerasan berbasis gender, diharapkan akan muncul kesadaran publik sehingga muncul aksi emansipasi dalam mendorong runtuhnya sisi eksploitatif sistem kapitalisme secara umum dan kekerasan berbasis gender secara khusus. ===== This paper—referring to the big theme of “Online-Based Gender Violence in the Pandemic Era”—tries to explain the contribution of the capitalist system, patriarchal culture, and globalization in supporting the sustainability of gender-based violence that is currently rife in the midst of a pandemic. The findings in this paper show that the capitalist system plays a key role in encouraging the creation of a patriarchal culture and globalization, which in turn encourages the perpetuation of gender-based violence. Departing from the perspective of marxist-feminism with the main premise that the capitalist system exploits the proletariat by legalizing all means, including building false consciousness, the findings in this paper will be further elaborated through three main topics. First, the findings will be presented that the oppression of women in a patriarchal environment is one of the manifestations of the capitalist elite to perpetuate the capitalist system. Second, the commodification of women—such as the issue of human trafficking—is believed to be a consequence of the capitalist system that provides freedom for the commodification of all resources. Finally, we will describe the phenomenon of globalization—as one of the products of capital-liberalism—which is believed to have encouraged the massive action of online-based human trafficking. In the end, through findings and discussions related to capitalism as a key system that has perpetuated gender-based violence, it is hoped that public awareness will emerge so that emancipation actions emerge in encouraging the collapse of the exploitative side of the capitalist system in general and gender-based violence in particular.

The article sets out to demonstrate the question of gender violence as a critical concern as Kenya seeks to implement her ambitious vision 2030. In other words, how can gender based violence affect the Implementation of Kenya vision 2030? Can it hinder Kenya’s ambitious enterprises in the 21st century? Certainly, Kenya’s Vision 2030 is a long term development blue print that seeks to transform Kenya into a newly industrializing middle income country. In so doing, it aims at providing a high quality life to all its citizens in a clean and secure environment.  The plan is anchored on three pillars, economic, social and political governance. The economic pillar aims to achieve an economic growth rate of 10% per annum; and sustaining the same till 2030 in order to generate more resources that will eventually address Kenya’s development goals. In turn, the social pillar seeks to create just, cohesive and equitable social development in a clean and secure environment; and the political pillar seeks to realize an issue based, people centered, result oriented and accountable democratic system. In view of this, Gender Based Violence is an umbrella term for any harmful act that is perpetrated against a person’s will and which is based on socially ascribed (gender) differences between men and women. Gender-based Violence (GBV) describes the specific type of violence that is linked to the gendered identity of being a woman or man. Gender based Violence traumatizes men, women and children. It destroys careers, and hurts the national economies among other negative effects. The main objective of this article is to show the link between Gender Based Violence and Kenya vision 2030. Methodologically, it starts by summarizing the vision 2030 highlighting its major strategies like education and training, health sector, Equity and poverty reduction, environment management, tourism, water and sanitation, electoral and political processes, democracy and public service, gender and youth among others and major flagship projects like Konza Techno city, expansion of port of Mombasa, the building of standard gauge railway, modernization of Jomo Kenyatta airport, expansion of Lamu  port  among others. Using the society of International development report and other organizations who have constantly audited the implementation of the vision 2030 since it began in 2008, the article will show how gender based violence will slow the achievement of the vision 2030.  It will also show how reducing gender based violence would help in its achievement. The materials in this article have been methodologically gathered through participant observation, reading of relevant literature, field research conducted in 2015 and sampling the city of Nairobi which largely speaks for Kenya and the larger East Africa.

La violencia de género (Ley Orgánica 1/2004), constituye un problema social grave, ya que atenta contra los Derechos Humanos de las víctimas: mujeres y sus hijos e hijas, además, en el ámbito familiar impide una convivencia sana, perjudicando notablemente el desarrollo evolutivo de los menores. La familia, que debería ser para estos chicos y chicas un ambiente adecuado de socialización, cuando existen episodios de este tipo de violencia, puede causar en ellos problemas graves de diversa índole. Ante ello, para una intervención más eficaz con estas personas, los profesionales de los distintos ámbitos sociales: Psicología, Trabajo Social, Educación, Sanitario, Fuerzas de Seguridad y otros, deberán actuar de manera coordinada, ya que es una problemática multidisciplinar. Con este trabajo se pretende, por un lado, visibilizar los sistemas de seguridad existentes en la actualidad en España, y por otro, proporcionar a los profesionales del ámbito de lo social antes descritos, que intervienen directamente con las víctimas de violencia de género, herramientas para que puedan informarles sobre estas medidas de seguridad, materia que les afecta considerablemente y, además, coadyuvaría a que se sientan más empoderadas para poder reclamar la asistencia que necesitan, al objeto de poder salir de la situación adversa en la que se encuentran. Gender violence (Organic Law 1/2004) constitutes a serious social problem, since it violates the Human Rights of the victims: women and their sons and daughters, in addition, in the family environment, prevents healthy coexistence, notably damaging the evolutionary development of minors. The family, which should be an adequate socialization environment for these boys and girls, when there are episodes of this type of violence, can cause serious problems of various kinds for them. Given this, for a more effective intervention with these people, professionals from the different social areas: Psychology, Social Work, Education, Health, Security Forces and others, must act in a coordinated way, since it is a multidisciplinary problem. This work aims, on the one hand, to make visible the security systems currently existing in Spain, and on the other, to provide the professionals in the social field described above, who intervene directly with victims of gender-based violence , tools so that they can inform them about these security measures, a matter that affects them considerably and, in addition, would help them feel more empowered to claim the assistance they need, in order to be able to get out of the adverse situation in which they find themselves .

RESUMOO artigo que segue pretende focalizar a violência de gênero no Brasil, notadamente uma de suas manifestações- os crimes passionais- através da análise de textos de autores elencados aqui e que tem versado sobre esse tema ao longo da história do Brasil. Assim partimos de um problema concreto qual seja: os crimes passionais podem ser considerados questões de gênero? Partindo assim, desse mote, identificamos na literatura jurídica elementos que apontam nessa direção e corroboram essa assertiva. Nesse ínterim, episódios relacionados aos crimes passionais que envolveram adultérios ou suspeitas de adultérios tiveram um tratamento diferenciado. No estado patriarcal de cunho marcadamente machista, os homens quando acusados de adultério recebiam um tratamento benevolente. Ao contrário quando as mulheres eram acusadas de adúlteras, recebiam da sociedade, a reprovação e muitos homens agiam contra elas da forma mais violenta, respondendo ao que a sociedade esperava deles, ou seja, a morte ou mutilação da mulher. Assim quando nos referimos aos crimes passionais ou crimes da paixão, estamos tratando de um universo marcante da violência de gênero que engloba análises de vários matizes e tendências.Palavras-chave: violência, gênero, crimes passionais. ABSTRACTThe following article intends to focus on gender violence in Brazil, especially one of its manifestations, crimes of passion, through analysis of texts by authors listed here who have learned about this theme throughout the history of Brazil. So we start with a concrete problem which is: crimes of passion can be considered gender issues? Starting then, this theme, we identified elements in the legal literature pointing in that direction and support this assertion. In the meantime, episodes related to crimes of passion involving adultery or suspected adultery had a different treatment. In the state's patriarchal slant markedly macho men when accused of adultery received benevolent treatment. Unlike when they were accused of adulterous women, received the society, the reproach and many men were acting against them in the most violent, responding to what society expected of them, ie, death or mutilation of women. So when we refer to crimes of passion or crimes of passion, we are dealing with a universe marked gender-based violence which includes analysis of various hues and trends.Keywords: violence, gender, crimes of passion. Identificador de Objeto Digital (DOI)10.5902/198136947171

Abstract Background Gender-based violence among young women is a growing problem worldwide. The consequences of this victimization have been well reported in the scientific literature, among which negative health outcomes stand out. The factors influencing this problem are many; one highlighted by research is socialization into a dominant coercive discourse that associates sexual-affective attraction to males with violent attitudes and behaviors, while in turn, such discourse empties males with egalitarian behaviors from sexual attractiveness. This coercive discourse may be shaping the sexual preferences of female youth. The current paper explores young women’s preferences for different types of sexual relationships and, more particularly, for what type of sexual affective relationships they coercively preferred men with violent attitudes and behavior. Methods A quantitative, mixed-design vignette study was conducted with 191 college females in Spain. We focused the analysis only on responses about vignettes including narratives of men with violent attitudes and behaviors. In addition, we examined whether participants would report higher coerced preferences for violent men when asked about the coerced preferences of their female friends than when asked about their own preferences. Results Only 28.95% of participants responded that their female friends would prefer a young man with violent behavior for a stable relationship, meanwhile 58.42% would do it for hooking up. When reporting about themselves, the difference was greater: 28.42% would prefer a young man with violent behavior for hooking up and just 5.78% for a stable relationship. Conclusions The dominant coercive discourse that links attractiveness to people with violent attitudes and behaviors may be explaining the results obtained in this study. The findings can help eliminate the stereotype largely adopted by some intervention and prevention programs which assume that gender-based violence occurs mainly in stable relationships, considering that falling in love is the reason that lead women to suffer from violence. Our results can also support health professionals and others serving young women to enhance their identification of gender violence victimization, as well as our findings point to the need to include the evidence of gender violence in sporadic relationships in prevention programs and campaigns addressed to young women.
