Kekerasan dalam rumah tangga (KDRT) mendominasi kasus kekerasan terhadap perempuan (KTP) di Indonesia. Beberapa penelitian menunjukkan korban KDRT mengalami dampak psikologis, seperti depresi dan ide bunuh diri. Meskipun memberikan dampak yang negatif, masih terdapat wanita yang menerima dan membenarkan KDRT yang dilakukan oleh suami. Selain itu, banyak juga korban yang memilih untuk keluar dari siklus KDRT. Temuan tersebut menunjukkan respon wanita tampak berbeda terhadap pengalaman KDRT. Keputusasaan merupakan salah satu faktor yang diteliti pada wanita korban KDRT. Wanita korban KDRT yang putus asa cenderung mengalami kesulitan dalam mengambil keputusan, terutama keputusan untuk berpisah dari pelaku kekerasan dan keluar dari siklus kekerasan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui gambaran tingkat keputusasaan pada 52 wanita yang pernah mengalami kekerasan dalam rumah tangga di Indonesia. Metode penelitian bersifat kuantitatif deskriptif dan data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS). Hasil menunjukkan 68% partisipan penelitian memiliki keputusasaan pada kategori sedang. Partisipan yang tidak bekerja, berlatar pendidikan SMA/SMK, tidak atau belum memiliki anak, tidak melaporkan, dan tidak memiliki dukungan sosial cenderung memiliki skor keputusasaan yang lebih tinggi. Keterbatasan jumlah partisipan menyebabkan generalisasi hasil penelitian terbatas. Penelitian selanjutnya dapat mengkaji partisipan dengan cakupan wilayah dan latar belakang budaya yang lebih luas. Latar belakang budaya tentu menjadi salah satu faktor yang memengaruhi keputusasaan serta keputusan wanita yang mengalami KDRT untuk berpisah atau tetap berada pada siklus KDRT yang dialami. Violence against women in Indonesia is dominated by domestic violence. During the pandemic situation, the victim may become hampered in reporting the case. Previous studies show that domestic violence might bring psychological impacts to the victim, like depression and suicidal ideation. Hopelessness might affect the response among victims. Previous studies reported that women who experienced domestic violence had moderate to high levels of hopelessness. They tend to show poor decision-making and hard to break the violence cycle. This study aims to describe the level of hopelessness in 51 women who have experienced domestic violence in Indonesia. The research method is descriptive quantitative. Data were collected using Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS). Results showed 68% of participants have moderate level of hopelessness. Participants with no occupation, high school educational background, not reporting the case, and do not have social support tend to have higher score of hopelessness. This study provides information about levels of hopelessness but the generalization of the result is limited due to the limited participants and cultural background. Further research should describe more number of participants with wider cultural background.

Many studies have looked into domestic violence but very few have considered women’s knowledge and perception about their rights. This study aims to examine the main sociocultural factors behind domestic violence against women with an emphasis on the power of the knowledge and perception of the women about their international and constitutional rights. Quantitative data collected in 2015 in the regions of East and Southwest Burkina Faso is used in this paper. Multivariate logistic regression is implemented to take into consideration the net effects of each factor when controlling the effects of other covariates. Results of this paper can be used to implement actions against domestic violence in the zone of intervention of the Program of Sexual Health and Human Rights project.

Barangay Violence Against Women (VAW) Desk officers are the frontliners in the provision of services to a victim/survivor of domestic violence. They are the first persons that a woman encounters, and they determine whether her truth claim identifies her as domestic violence case, thereby enabling her to access State-provided services and interventions. Thus, it is important to inquire into the Desk officers’ worldviews and beliefs, also called schemas, and how these influence the ways they communicate and interact with the victim/survivors they encounter daily in their work. Guided by gender schema theory, this study examines the drawings of the VAW Desk officers—and the ecology of images that accompany these drawings—to delve into their cognitive constructions of the gendered nature of domestic violence. Two dominant schemas emerge from this examination: the schema of heteronormativity (dapat), and the schema of the necessary visibility of domestic violence (kita). These schemas govern the Desk officers’ everyday judgments and decision making, and inform the ways they communicate with domestic violence victim/survivors.

Domestic violence (also named as domestic abuse, battering, or family violence) is a pattern of behaviour which involves violence or other abuse by one person against another in a domestic setting, such as in marriage or cohabitation. Domestic violence against women can be categorized as physical, sexual, psychological or economical violence. It can be seen that women exposed to such types of violence develop physical or psychological problems, even in some cases the violence ends up with domestic homicide or suicide. It is thought that an educational program which will enable these women to reconstruct their self-esteem and look to the future with hope with healing and developing skills should be prepared. Therefore, Elimination of Violence Communication Training Program was prepared and it is aimed to find the effectiveness, positive/negative conditions occurring during the application of the program or the shortcomings of the program. In this experimental research, pre and post-test control group design was used. The duration of the application of the study was 16 sessions (48 hours). Quantitative data were gathered through "Family Evaluation Scale", which highlights the dimensions of domestic violence against women within the family; "Violence within the Family Scale", which highlights the violence experiences; "Communication Skills Evaluation Scale", which highlights the communication skills; "Life Satisfaction Scale", which scales the life experiences of the participants. In addition, the quantitative data were supported with observation forms, interview records and forms including participant opinions. The participants of the experimental group showed no meaningful relationship between their pre and post test results in terms of communication skills, whereas the sub-categories of violence within the familyverbal violence, emotional response of family functionality, and behaviour control- showed meaningful relationship in favour of post-test and it was found that the mean of pre and post-test results of the experimental group showed an increase in favour of post-test in terms of all dimensions of the scale.

Abstract. Background: The It Gets Better project aims to help prevent suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer (LGBTIQ+) adolescents. It features personal video narratives portraying how life gets better when struggling with adversities. Research on the contents of messages is scarce. Aims: We aimed to explore the content of videos in the Austrian It Gets Better project regarding the representation of various LGBTIQ+ groups and selected content characteristics. Method: A content analysis of all German-language videos was conducted ( N = 192). Messages related to coming out, stressors experienced, suicidal ideation/behavior, and on how things get better were coded. Results: Representation was strong for gay men ( n = 45; 41.7%). Coming out to others was mainly positively framed ( n = 31; 46.3%) and seen as a tool to make things better ( n = 27; 37.5%). Social support ( n = 42; 62.7%) and self-acceptance ( n = 37; 55.2%) were prevalent topics. Common stressors included a conservative setting ( n = 18, 26.9%), and fear of outing ( n = 17; 25.4%). Suicidality ( n = 9; 4.7%) and options to get professional help ( n = 7; 8.2%) were rarely addressed. Limitations: Only aspects explicitly brought up in the videos were codeable. Conclusion: Videos do not fully represent gender identities and sexual orientations. Messaging on suicidality and professional help require strengthening to tailor them better for suicide prevention.
