Forms Of Violence

Chapter 15 provides an overview of economic forms of violence against women in politics. Economic violence employs economic hardship and deprivation as a means of control, most often by destroying a person’s property or harming their financial livelihood as a form of intimidation. Forms of economic violence include vandalism, property destruction, theft, extortion, raids to remove property, withholding of funds and resources, threats to terminate employment, withdrawal of financial support, and restrictions on access to funding. Despite direct links between economic violence and the ability of women to perform political functions, it remains a largely invisible phenomenon. Few women, indeed, appear willing to speak on the record about their experiences for fear of negative effects on their personal and professional livelihoods. Relative silence on these dynamics, in turn, means that few measures exist to address economic violence, with civil society largely filling the gap to provide emergency grants and accounting oversight.

Resumen: Como resultado de una revisión de los fallosproferidos por los juzgados municipales, los juzgadosde circuito y la Sala Penal del Tribunal Superior delDistrito Judicial de Pasto, entre los años 2005 y 2011,en relación con los delitos de violencia cometidos contramujeres, fue posible establecer que las principales formasde agresión contra la mujer se enmarcan dentro delos delitos de acceso carnal violento, actos sexuales yacceso carnal abusivo con menor de 14 años, homicidio,violencia intrafamiliar y lesiones personales. La parejao ex pareja sentimental de las mujeres, se constituye enuno de los principales victimarios en estos casos, aunqueresulta alarmante el alto porcentaje de episodios en losque el agresor forma parte del grupo familiar de la víctima,especialmente aquellos tan cercanos en grado deconsanguinidad como lo es el padre, el abuelo, el tío o elhijo. Causa gran preocupación el tiempo trascurrido entrela ocurrencia de los hechos y la fecha del fallo, situaciónque en muchos casos supera los siete años. Además,en la mayoría de administradores de justicia pervivenformas patriarcales de entender los roles de hombres ymujeres en la vida social, lo que se manifiesta en unajusticia comprensiva de la violencia masculina y condenatoriade los roles femeninos no tradicionales.Palabras clave: justicia, género, violencia, mujeres, NariñoJustice and Gender in Nariño in Cases of Violenceagainst WomenAbstract: Following a review of the judgments handeddown by the municipal courts, circuit courts and theCriminal Division of the Superior Court of the JudicialDistrict of Pasto, between 2005 and 2011, in relationto crimes of violence against women, it was possibleto establish that the most common forms of aggressionagainst women were violent carnal acts, sexual and abusivecarnal acts with girls under 14 years of age, homicide,family violence and personal lesions. The woman’spartner or ex-partner is one of the most common aggressors,although it is alarming that in high percentagesof cases the aggressor is a member of the family, especiallyfathers, grandfathers, uncles and sons. It is alsoworrisome that the time lapse between the occurrenceof the facts and the sentence given was in many casesmore than seven years. Additionally, most administratorsof justice exhibit patriarchal ways of understanding theroles of men and women in society, which is manifestedin judicial leniency toward male violence and condemnationof non-traditional female roles.Keywords: justice, gender, violence, women, Nariño

Violent Acts

Violence appears in different forms and circumstances and involves distinct kinds of violent acts against children, women, elderly and other defenseless persons. This serious problem, which degrades women's integrity, is denoted by terms like domestic violence, gender violence and violence against women. Gender violence can appear as physical, psychological, sexual, economic violence, as well as violence at work. Violence against women committed by their intimate partners can be analyzed through the Ecological Model, which explains the close relation between individuals and their environment. Factors influencing people's behavior towards this violence should be analyzed with a view to establishing help programs.

Practical Implications

The purpose of the current study is to examine attitudes toward two types of violence—that perpetrated by men and that perpetrated by women—among a community of well-educated Muslims living in a Western country. Accordingly, two hypotheses were postulated, the first focusing on attitudes regarding men who perpetrate violence against women and the second focusing on attitudes toward women who perpetrate violence against men. The sample included 420 Muslim students who were studying in Arab institutions of higher education in northern Israel. The findings show that significant rates of both men and women think that “a woman hitting a man” might be seen as funny by their acquaintances. Meanwhile the vast majority of both men and women think that “a man hitting a woman” might be seen as sad by their acquaintances. However, the tendency to believe that such behavior would be viewed with sadness was stronger among women. The study helps to understand what the prevalent attitudes in society are, and has practical implications for raising public awareness around contexts of gender violence, as well as toward attitudes regarding violence among populations in transition from a traditional societal structure to a modern one.

Status Of Women

The Constitution of Bangladesh ensures the equal rights and status of women in public life. But nondiscrimination over women in the private sphere is not guaranteed. Consequently, there are significant disparities between men and women in all realms of life. Lack of equal access to economic opportunities, education, health services and their lesser role in decision making perpetuate women’s subordination to men and susceptibility to violence. The notion of the society about girl children within the family itself builds up a mindset that girls ought to be less important than the male children. The multiple forms of discrimination against girls begin at home and continue to the end of their lives. This imbalanced foundation of knowledge, fully biased in favour of the males of the family, spreads through the society in general, resulting in tremendous forms of violence and injustice to women as a whole. The article highlights the key reasons of oppression over women such as physical, sexual and psychological abuse that cuts across lines of income, class and culture and its ultimate consequences. This article evaluates the loopholes in the existing criminal justice system of Bangladesh concerning violence against women with mentioning necessary possible way outs.

Partner Violence Against Women

Abstract Attitudes play a central role in intimate partner violence against women and are related to its origin, to the responses of women who suffer violence, and to the settings where it occurs. In fact, these attitudes are recognized as one of the risk factors linked to violent perpetration and to public, professional, and victim responses to this type of violence. However, even though available research generally shows a broad rejection of this violence, it remains a serious social and health problem that has reached epidemic proportions. This suggests that the information available about these attitudes (obtained through explicit and direct measures, i.e., self-reports) may be distorted or influenced by factors such as social desirability. In this context, the overall objective of our research project is to provide multi-method measures (explicit and implicit) of attitudes toward intimate partner violence against women, and the main goal of this paper is to propose an instrument for the implicit measurement of these attitudes. In this regard, the Implicit Association Test (IAT) is the most common procedure used, providing a superior predictive validity compared to explicit measures for socially sensitive topics. We will present an exploratory study that describes its adaptation for our purposes, and the development of the Gender Violence - Implicit Association Test (GV-IAT) to use among Spanish-speaking populations, and discuss the strengths and limitations of this proposal.

Effective Prevention

Intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) is the most pervasive violation of women’s rights worldwide, causing devastating lifelong damage. Victims can suffer physical, emotional or mental health problems, and experience detrimental effects in social, psychological and relational health with their families, especially children. Due to the complexity regarding violence against women in heterosexual couples, it is important to make a clear distinction between psychological and physical mistreatment, which also includes psychological violence. This differentiation is important in determining different emotional and psychological aspects of mistreatment in order to understand the reasons why some women stay in such relationships and to explain the personality profiles of victims and perpetrators. In this short narrative review, we have combined perspectives of depth psychology and attachment theory from studies on trauma, traumatic bonds and the perpetrator/victim complex in gender violence. We have also considered the growing literature on IPVAW as it relates to the medico-legal field. Our search strategy included intimate partner violence, attachment styles, risk factors and the victim/perpetrator relationship. Distinguishing the different types of IPVAW is a necessary step in understanding the complexity, causes, correlations and consequences of this issue. Above all, it enables the implementation of effective prevention and intervention strategies.
