Full textThis Ph.D. dissertation examines how Iraqi criminal law with regard to sex and sex-related crimes severely discriminates women in Iraq. It looks at this issue in light of ancestral traditions of prejudice and violence against women that are deeply rooted in Iraqi society. Honor is an extremely important notion in the mentalities of Iraqi people. Women are supposed to maintain chastity and sexual purity in order to be considered "honorable". Anything that compromises their chastity, including crimes of which they are victims such as rape, destroys their honor and along with it, that of their entire family. Many women in this situation find themselves killed, injured, or forced to marry their attacker in order to allow their families to recover their honor. This study shows how Iraqi legislation, case law and legal doctrine all contribute to encourage and perpetuate this problem, and suggests some possible solutions

Full textAccording to modern standards, the narratives about Hagar in Genesis 16 and 21 are stories of abuse, as many feminist commentators have pointed out. Some of them, however, argue that the narrator condones what happened to Hagar, seeing it as perfectly normal. This thesis aims to investigate whether and how Hagar was abused according to the narrator of Genesis 16 and 21: 8-21.

Nesta tese, analisamos a mitigação da culpa coconstruída, discursiva e interacionalmente, por inspetores de polícia, suspeitos e vítimas em interrogatórios policiais de uma Delegacia da Mulher. Para isso, ancoramo-nos na Análise de Narrativa e nos pressupostos da Linguística Aplicada contemporânea, de perspectiva construcionista da pesquisa qualitativa. Em nossas análises, olhamos, mais focalmente, para as performances narrativo-identitárias que emergem no trabalho interacional de tentativa de mitigação da culpa frente aos crimes em análise nos interrogatórios. Nesse cenário, mostramos como o engajamento narrativo assume um papel essencial e constitutivo nesse tipo de interação institucional-legal. Analiticamente, lançamos mão de elementos do modelo narrativo laboviano – destacando dele a avaliação (sobretudo o discurso reportado) e a ação complicadora. Esse modelo mostra-se como uma ferramenta producente para entender como as histórias são coconstruídas por suspeitos e por vítimas e como elas configuram-se como um meio discursivo-interacional para tentar mitigar agência e responsabilidade a fim de buscar mitigar a culpa: suspeitos buscam distanciar-se, interacional e discursivamente, da confissão do crime em investigação na Delegacia, vitimizando-se ao responsabilizarem suas esposas/vítimas pela agressão e vítimas, por sua vez, buscam distanciar-se dessa responsabilidade atribuída a elas nas histórias que seus companheiros/suspeitos contam. Nessa mesma perspectiva, nossas análises mostram como o engajamento narrativo dos participantes ocorre como accounts (explicação), já que suspeitos e vítimas usam, interacionalmente, as histórias que contam como uma forma para tentar justificar e prestar contas de suas ações (essas histórias são chamadas, nesta tese, de narrativas-accounts). Dessa forma, mostramos que é contando histórias, avaliando ações e personagens sob sua própria ótica, que narradores – suspeitos e vítimas – constroem confissões e depoimentos, que são tomados como fatos no ambiente jurídico. Ainda, relacionamos construções identitárias, o trabalho confessional e o tipo de atividade em curso, posto que a culpa e a responsabilidade perante crimes são coconstruídas na interação negociada entre os participantes. Face ao exposto, destacamos que entender melhor como a agência e a responsabilidade são mitigadas, discursivamente, pode contribuir para a atuação dos agentes da lei, sobretudo, daqueles que participam de contextos investigativos.
In this thesis, we analyze the mitigation of guilt, discursively and interactionally co-constructed by police officers, suspects and victims in police interrogations that took place in a police station specializing in crimes against women. To this end, we adopt Narrative Analysis and contemporary Applied Linguistics constructionist perspective for qualitative research. In our analyses, we focus on the narrative, identity performances that emerge in the interactional work involved in attempting to mitigate guilt related to the crimes analyzed during interrogations. In this scenario, we show how narrative engagement plays an essential and constitutive role in this type of institutional, legal interaction. Analytically, we employ elements of Labov s narrative model – highlighting evaluations (particularly in reported speech) and complicating actions. This model shows itself to be a productive tool for understanding how stories are co-constructed by suspects and victims, and how they serve as a discursive, interactional means for attempting to mitigate agency and responsibility in order to seek to mitigate guilt. Suspects attempt to distance themselves, interactionally and discursively, from the confession of the crime being investigated in the police station, victimizing themselves by attributing responsibility for the aggressions to their wives/victims. Victims, on the other hand, seek to distance themselves from the responsibility attributed to them in the stories told by their partner/suspects. In this same perspective, our analyses show that the narrative engagement of the participants occurs as accounts (explanations), since suspects and victims use, interactionally, the stories they tell as a way of attempting to justify and account for their actions (in this thesis, these stories are called narrative accounts). Thus, we show that it is by telling stories and evaluating actions and characters in their own point of view that narrators – suspects and victims – construct confessions and testimonies, which are taken as facts in the legal environment. Moreover, we connect identity constructions, confessional work and the type of activity in progress, given that guilt and responsibility for crimes are co-constructed and negotiated in participants interactions. In view of the above, we emphasize that a better understanding of how agency and responsibility are mitigated discursively can contribute to the work of law enforcement officers, especially those who participate in investigative contexts.

Three dominant approaches to trauma (one descriptive, one explanatory and one phenomenological) are briefly discussed. Available empirical data is then explored to ascertain whether the empirical research correspond to these dominant theories. The research indicates that the theories all highlight different aspects of battering and all have important implications for treatment.

O ato violento, principalmente no que diz respeito ao homicídio, é percebido pelas pessoas como um ato imprevisível e de difícil compreensão, consistindo o mesmo como uma “fatalidade”, não como um fenômeno social estável e psicologicamente determinado, cognoscível e controlável. Assim, no que diz respeito às modalidades violentas de crimes, os estudos permanecem em sua grande maioria no campo da psicanálise e da biologia, reportando a explicações como a passionalidade e a psicopatia, aproximando de uma perspectiva positivista e limitada. Compreendo, portanto, o crime como criação, ato cheio de significados e sentidos, o presente trabalho aborda estudos que tratam sobre a mulher que tenha praticado homicídio. Ao estudar o crime, principalmente dentro de uma perspectiva tão pouco explorada como trajetórias de vida de mulheres que cometeram assassinato, necessário se faz extrair os estados intencionais dessas mulheres as motivações e razões desses atores e de seu mundo simbólico, fornecido pelo contexto cultural o qual nos é retratado. Partindo do entendimento do crime como um fenômeno socialmente construído, dentro de um processo histórico pontuado por circunstâncias de gênero, analisei a trajetória de vida de mulheres presas e sentenciadas pelo cometimento de homicídio. Com base nos discursos das entrevistadas, procurei, em sua globalidade, responder a duas questões principais, que são os significados que as mulheres constroem sobre o crime e sobre o processo de reclusão em suas vidas, e a segunda que diz respeito aos processos de violência associados às determinantes sociais de gênero, tanto no âmbito extra muros, quanto no âmbito intra muros. Dessa forma, procurei contribuir para o processo de resgate da voz da mulher encarcerada para os estudos do crime, demonstrando a necessidade de apresentarmos uma face dessas mulheres via de regra ocultas por estigmas, desmistificando estereótipos e revelando suas histórias para além do crime.
The violent acts, particularly with regard to murderperpetrated by women, are generally perceived by people as an unpredictable and difficult act to understand, figuring as a "fatality" rather than a stable social phenomenon, psychologically determined, knowable and controllable. Thus, studies that relate to violent forms of crimes remain mostly in the field of psychoanalysis and biology, referring to explanations as passionate crimes or due to a psychopathy, approaching a positivist and limited perspective. We understand such crime as a creation, an act full of meanings and senses, therefore this work focus on murders whose perpetrators are women. By studying crime, especially in a perspective as little explored as the life trajectories of those ‘guilt’ women, it is necessary that we stratify the intentional states of these women, their motivations and reasons, and their symbolic world provided by the cultural context from which they belong. Setting off from the crime as a socially constructed phenomenon placed within a historical process punctuated by gender circumstances, this paper considers the life trajectories of the female prisoners sentenced for murder. Based on the speeches of the interviewees, we sought at best to answer two main questions, (1) Which are meanings the women build from the perpetrated crime and the incarceration process in their lives, and (2) Which are the processes of violence associated with gender social determinants both intra and extramuros. Thus, we tried to contribute to the recovery process of the voice of the incarcerated women for studies of crime, demonstrating the need to introduce a face to these women, in general hidden by stigmas, demystifying stereotypes and revealing their stories beyond the crime.

Full textThis study analyzes the narratives that emerged in the news media’s coverage of violent crimes against women during the #MeToo Movement. Additionally, it seeks to uncover if and how news media crime coverage differed based on the race of defendants. I conduct a content analysis of the news media coverage of the criminal cases State of Michigan v. Lawrence Gerard Nassar and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. William Henry Cosby, Jr. during the #MeToo Movement. I find that news media coverage of violent crimes against women typically exhibits an inverse relationship in which supportive portrayals of victims predict unsupportive portrayals of defendants, and vice versa. I also find some evidence to suggest that Black male defendants receive more lenient news media coverage than white male defendants. The results of this study demonstrate the power of social movements in influencing criminal justice outcomes and the news media’s role in shaping public opinion on criminal cases

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Intimate partner violence is world wide and in South Africa an increasing social problem that leads to life-threatening history of injuries and psychosocial problems. Intimate partner violence is a global phenomenon prevalent in all socio-economic, race, religion, cultural and geographical boundaries. Although women with a lack or low income is more at risk of intimate partner violence and this reinforces their dependency of the intimate partner violence relationship. The largest percentage of South Africa’s poor population lives in rural areas that make them more vulnerable for social problems because of their lack of adequate resources. Women in rural areas involved with intimate partner violence are physically isolated from a supportive social network and must travel far distances to gain access to formal support resources. The goal of the study is to gain an understanding of the support needs of women in rural areas that are involved in intimate partner violence from an ecological perspective. To achieve this goal, the objectives are: to explain the nature, extent and origin of intimate partner violence as a social problem; to discuss the relevance of the ecological perspective as a theoretical framework regarding the analyses of intimate partner violence; to describe the support needs of women in rural areas that is involved in intimate partner violence; to investigate the experience of women in rural areas that is involved in intimate partner violence regarding the availability of support; and to offer recommendations regarding the promotion of the support needs for women in rural areas that is expose to intimate partner violence. Combinations of a quantitative and qualitative research approach were used in the study. The study further assumed an exploratory and descriptive research design due to the lack of information on support that is available to women in rural areas that are involved in intimate partner violence. A purposive sampling method was used to select the participants. Data was gathered by means of a semi-structured questionnaire, which was administered during 20 individual interviews. This allowed for a holistic view of the participants beliefs about, or perceptions of the topic. The design of the questionnaire was based on the information obtained from the literature review. The findings of the empirical investigation mainly confirmed the findings of the literature study that those women in rural areas that are involved in intimate partner violence support needs, from multiple levels of the ecological perspective. This support entails both informal and formal support resources which vary from concrete, informational to emotional support in order to cope with stressful life situations. The most important recommendations resulting from the study indicate that social workers must use an ecological approach during service rendered to women in rural areas that are involved in intimate partner violence. This approach can be used to identify and strengthen support resources on a micro, meso, exo and macro system level. The study further indicate that social workers must collaborate with different government sectors such as health care, police and law enforcement in order to create a multi professional team that focus on the social functioning of families and the community as a entity. Social workers that render intervention services to women in rural areas that are exposed to intimate partner violence should focus on all levels of social work intervention. The recommendation emphasises the importance of women and the communities’ awareness regarding intimate partner violence to promote women independency and to promote and facilitate support groups.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Intiemepaargeweld is wêreldwyd asook in Suid-Afrika ‘n toenemende sosiale probleem wat ‘n geskiedenis van ernstige beserings en psigososiale probleme vir vroue tot gevolg het. Die universele gebeurtenisse van intiemepaargeweld vind plaas binne alle sosio-ekonomiese, ras-, geloofs-, kulturele en geografiese grense. Alhoewel vroue met gebrekkige of lae inkomste hulle ‘n groter risiko vir intiemepaargeweld maak, versterk dit ook vroue se afhanklikheid van die intiemepaargeweldverhouding. Die meerderheid van Suid-Afrika se arm populasie woon in landelike gebiede, wat hulle meer kwesbaar maak vir maatskaplike probleme weens die gebrek aan genoegsame hulpbronne. Vroue in landelike gebiede wat by intiemepaargeweld betrokke is, is fisies geïsoleerd van ‘n ondersteunende sosiale netwerk en moet ver afstande reis om toegang tot formele ondersteuningshulpbronne te kry. Die doel van hierdie studie is om met behulp van die ekologiese perspektief die behoefte aan ondersteuning van vroue wat by intiemepaargeweld betrokke is, beter te verstaan. Om hierdie doel te bereik, is die doelwitte: om die aard, omvang en oorsprong van intiemepaargeweld as ‘n maatskaplike probleem te verduidelik; om die relevansie van die ekologiese perspektief as teoretiese raamwerk vir die ontleding van intiemepaargeweld te bespreek; om die ondersteuning wat nodig is vir vroue in landelike gebiede wat by intiemepaargeweld betrokke is, te omskryf; om ondersoek in te stel na die ervaring van vroue in landelike gebiede wat by intiemepaargeweld betrokke is, ten opsigte van die beskikbaarheid van ondersteuning; en om aanbevelings te maak ten opsigte van die bevordering van die ondersteuning vir vroue in landelike gebiede wat aan intiemepaargeweld blootgestel word. ‘n Kombinasie van kwantitatiewe en kwalitatiewe navorsingsbenaderings is in hierdie studie gebruik. Tydens hierdie ondersoek is ook beide ‘n verkennende en beskrywende navorsingsontwerp benut, aangesien die beskikbare literatuur ‘n gebrek aan inligting aangaande ondersteuning wat beskikbaar is aan vroue in landelike gebiede wat by intiemepaargeweld betrokke is, toon. ‘n Doelbewuste streekproefmetode is geselekteer om deelnemers te verkry. Die data is ingevorder deur die gebruik van ‘n semi-gestruktureerde vraelys tydens 20 afsonderlike individuele onderhoude. Sodoende kon ‘n geheelbeeld van die deelnemers se oortuigings en persepsies aangaande die onderwerp van die studie verkry word. Die samestelling van die vraelys berus op inligting wat uit die literatuurstudie verkry is. Die resultate van die ondersoek het hoofsaaklik die bevindinge van die literatuurstudie bevestig dat vroue in landelike gebiede wat by intiemepaargeweld betrokke is, ‘n behoefte aan ondersteuning op veelvoudige vlakke van die ekologiese perspektief het. Hierdie ondersteuning behels beide informele en formele ondersteuningsbronne en varieer vanaf konkrete, informatiewe tot emosionele ondersteuning ten einde stresvolle lewensituasies te kan hanteer. Die belangrikste aanbevelings van hierdie studie dui daarop dat maatskaplike werkers die ekologiese perspektief moet gebruik tydens dienste wat aan vroue in landelike gebiede wat by intiemepaargeweld betrokke is, gelewer word. Hierdie perspektief kan die nodige ondersteuningshulpbronne identifiseer en versterk om die nodige ondersteuning aan hierdie vroue op ‘n mikro-, meso-, ekso- en makrosisteemvlak te bied. Die aanbevelings dui ook aan dat maatskaplike werkers saam met verskeie regeringsektore, naamlik gesondheidsorg-, polisie- en wetstoepassingsdienste, ‘n multi-professionele span vorm sodat daar op die sosiale funksionering van gesinne en gemeenskap as ‘n geheel gefokus word. Maatskaplike werkers wat intervensiedienste lewer aan vroue in landelike gebiede wat aan intiemepaargeweld blootgestel word, moet op alle maatskaplikewerk-intervensievlakke fokus. Die aanbevelings beklemtoon die noodsaaklikheid van vroue en die gemeenskappe se bewustheid rakende intiemepaargeweld om sodoende vroue se onafhanklikheid te bevorder en ondersteuningsgroepe te bevorder en te fasiliteer.

A presente pesquisa discute as questões relacionadas às práticas das jovens das classes populares envolvidas nos crimes de estupro, sedução e rapto, todos delitos contra os costumes sociais, ocorridos na cidade de Assis entre os anos de 1950 e 1979, bem como as representações lançadas pelos membros do Poder Judiciário sobre tais comportamentos. A grande maioria das vítimas destes delitos estava diretamente envolvida no mercado de trabalho e possuía um menor monitoramento de suas práticas sociais. Diante disto, os membros do Poder Judiciário, os quais preservavam as representações tradicionais sobre o feminino, repreendiam estes comportamentos e os consideravam desviantes da moral e dos costumes. Sem levar em consideração a idade e as características culturais das vítimas, julgavam-nas como se fossem mulheres rebeldes e, muitas vezes, promíscuas. Pertencentes a um grupo social específico, essas jovens foram vítimas não apenas dos crimes contra os costumes, mas também da discriminação de uma sociedade machista e conservadora.
This present research discusses questions related to practices of young women from popular classes involved in rape, seduction and kidnapping crimes, all these delicts against the social custom happened in Assis city between 1950 and the 1979, and it also discusses the representations instituted by members of the Judiciary Committee about these behaviors. Great part of the victims concerning those delicts was involved at the job market and had a low supervision of their social practices. For this reason, members of the Judiciary Committee, who preserved the traditional representations about the feminine, reprehended these behaviors and considered them diverged from the moral and custom. Without considering age and cultural features of the victims, they were judged as rebel and, most of the time, promiscuous women. Belonging to a specific social group, these young women were not only victims of crimes against the custom, but they were also victims of discrimination by a sexist and conservative society.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Sexual violence against women (SVAW) has always been part of armed conflict. However, only recently has international law deemed it a crime against humanity and a genocidal crime, thus finally recognising that it is a strategy and weapon that is used extensively during conflict. SVAW and its consequences, however, also continue in the aftermath of conflict, with both ex-combatants and civilians perpetrating SVAW. The effectiveness of SVAW as a weapon and strategy relies on the existence of gender identities and relations that subjugate women. This gender inequality is instated and perpetuated through hegemonic masculinity and patriarchy, and violence against women is one way in which the imbalance is enforced. Patriarchal beliefs and structures, combined with a form of militarised hypermasculinity, lead to SVAW being used during armed conflict, but also continuing in its aftermath. The consequences for survivors are that they are often stigmatised and discriminated against by their husbands, families and communities, and this contributes to their further marginalisation and exploitation. As the state and international security and peacekeeping bodies fail to adequately address SVAW, civil society organisations (CSOs) tend to fill this void by providing mostly support to women affected. One sector of African civil society, namely African Christian churches, has a good record of effectively filling roles usually associated with the state. Furthermore, African Christian churches have increased tremendously in the last century, function at grassroots-level, and are of the few CSOs that continue functioning during armed conflict. As religious institutions they have authority and impact, for religion has the ability to influence behaviour, facilitate societal change, and provide societal solidarity and cohesion. Thus, for the marginalised in Africa, religion is a powerful resource. This leads one to assume that churches can be effective in addressing SVAW. This supposition was tested by studying how churches address SVAW in three different areas affected by armed conflict, namely the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Liberia, by using a qualitative, multiple-case case study approach. In two sites in each country, one urban and one rural, structured interview questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and nominal groups were done, focusing on the causes and consequences of SVAW and how it is being addressed, specifically by churches. The findings showed that SVAW in areas affected by armed conflict are due to patriarchal structures and beliefs, and the military hypermasculinity that has infused civilian masculinities. Patriarchy is also the indirect cause of the most severe consequences of SVAW. These are physical, psychological, social and economic, but the impact of the stigmatisation and discrimination that survivors experience is what they find most debilitating. Unfortunately, neither government nor civil society is addressing SVAW to any great extent and where they do, their actions are reactive not proactive in terms of prevention. This was no different in terms of the role and influence of the churches. While people believe in the ability of churches to be important actors in addressing SVAW, churches are not doing so, for they, too, are patriarchal institutions. Their ability to address injustice is limited when the cause of the injustice are practices and beliefs that lie at the heart of the religion and the churches, especially if these practices and beliefs are upholding the power of those currently in power. By perpetuating patriarchy, churches are actually contributing to SVAW being used as a weapon and strategy of warfare.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Seksuele geweld teen vroue (SGTV) was nog altyd deel van gewapende konflik. Dis egter eers onlangs wat internasionale wetgewing bepaal het dat dit ‘n misdaad teen die mensdom en van volksmoord is, en sodoende uiteindelik erken dat dit ‘n veelgebruikte konflikstrategie en -wapen is. SGTV en die gevolge daarvan hou egter aan ná konflik, met beide gewese vegters en burgerlikes wat SGTV pleeg. Die doeltreffendheid van SGTV as 'n wapen en strategie berus op geslagsidentiteite en -verhoudings wat vroue onderwerp. Hierdie geslagsongelykheid word ingestel en voortgesit deur hegemoniese manlikheid en patriargie, en geweld teen vroue is een manier waarop die wanbalans afgedwing word. Patriargale oortuigings en strukture, gekombineer met 'n vorm van militêre hipermanlikheid, lei daartoe dat SGTV nie net tydens gewapende konflik plaasvind nie, maar ook daarna. Die oorlewendes word dikwels gestigmatiseer en teen gediskrimineer deur hulle mans, families en gemeenskappe, en dit dra by tot hulle verdere marginalisering en uitbuiting. Aangesien die staat en internasionale veiligheids- en vredesliggame versuim om SGTV voldoende aan te spreek, is burgerlike organisasies (BOs) geneig om hierdie leemte te vul deur die verskaffing van meesal steun aan vroue wat deur SGTV geaffekteer word. Een sektor van Afrika se burgerlike samelewing, naamlik Afrika Christelike kerke, het 'n goeie rekord as dit kom by die vervulling van rolle wat gewoonlik geassosieer word met die staat. Verder het Afrika Christelike kerke geweldig toegeneem in die laaste eeu, funksioneer hulle op voetsoolvlak, en is hulle van die min BOs wat aanhou funksioneer tydens gewapende konflik. As godsdienstige instellings het hulle gesag en invloed, aangesien godsdiens die vermoë het om gedrag te beïnvloed, gemeenskapsverandering te fasiliteer, en solidariteit en samehorigheid aan ‘n gemeenskap te verskaf. Dus, vir gemarginaliseerdes in Afrika, is godsdiens 'n kragtige hulpbron. Dus neem ‘n mens aan dat kerke effektief kan wees in die aanspreek van SGTV. Hierdie veronderstelling is getoets deur te kyk na hoe kerke SGTV aanspreek in drie areas wat geraak word deur gewapende konflik, naamlik die Demokratiese Republiek van die Kongo, Rwanda en Liberië, deur die gebruik van 'n kwalitatiewe, meervoudige-geval gevallestudie benadering. In twee gemeenskappe in elke land, een stedelike en een landelike, is gestruktureerde onderhoudvraelyste, semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude, en nominale groepe gedoen, met ‘n fokus op die oorsake en gevolge van SGTV en hoe dit aangespreek word, spesifiek deur kerke. Die bevindinge het getoon dat SGTV in gebiede geraak deur gewapende konflik, te wyte is aan patriargale strukture en oortuigings, en die militêre hipermanlikheid wat verweef geraak het met burgerlike manlikheid. Patriargie is ook die indirekte oorsaak van die mees ernstige gevolge van SGTV. Hierdie gevolge is fisies, sielkundig, maatskaplik en ekonomies, maar die impak van die stigmatisering en diskriminasie wat oorlewendes ervaar affekteer hulle die ergste. Ongelukkig spreek nie die regering óf burgerlike samelewing werklik SGTV aan nie, en waar hulle dit doen is hulle optrede reaktief en nie proaktief in terme van voorkoming nie. Dit was dieselfde met die rol en invloed van kerke. Terwyl mense glo in die vermoë van kerke om ‘n kernrol te speel in die aanspreek van SGTV, doen kerke dit nie, want hulle is óók patriargale instellings. Hulle vermoë om onreg aan te spreek is beperk wanneer die oorsaak van die onreg praktyke en oortuigings is wat aan die hart lê van die godsdiens en die kerke, veral as hierdie praktyke en oortuigings verseker dat dié in beheer hulle mag behou. Deur hulle voortsetting van patriargie, dra kerke by daartoe dat SGTV gebruik word as 'n wapen en strategie van oorlogvoering.

Full textThe wide acceptance of honour killing has made women suffer as a whole against their basic rights; human, constitutional and Islamic. This thesis focuses on the judicial redress against the crime of honour killings, which could be achieved by proper administration of justice. It contests that to control the crime in the patriarchal society of Pakistan, legislative measures are not enough. There is a dire need to eliminate the inadequacies of the administration of justice. The State could build a judicial framework to eliminate the inequality and discrimination against women. The judiciary could play an important role in bringing justice to the victims and in curbing this heinous crime.

Resumo: A presente pesquisa discute as questões relacionadas às práticas das jovens das classes populares envolvidas nos crimes de estupro, sedução e rapto, todos delitos contra os costumes sociais, ocorridos na cidade de Assis entre os anos de 1950 e 1979, bem como as representações lançadas pelos membros do Poder Judiciário sobre tais comportamentos. A grande maioria das vítimas destes delitos estava diretamente envolvida no mercado de trabalho e possuía um menor monitoramento de suas práticas sociais. Diante disto, os membros do Poder Judiciário, os quais preservavam as representações tradicionais sobre o feminino, repreendiam estes comportamentos e os consideravam desviantes da moral e dos costumes. Sem levar em consideração a idade e as características culturais das vítimas, julgavam-nas como se fossem mulheres rebeldes e, muitas vezes, promíscuas. Pertencentes a um grupo social específico, essas jovens foram vítimas não apenas dos crimes contra os costumes, mas também da discriminação de uma sociedade machista e conservadora.
Abstract: This present research discusses questions related to practices of young women from popular classes involved in rape, seduction and kidnapping crimes, all these delicts against the social custom happened in Assis city between 1950 and the 1979, and it also discusses the representations instituted by members of the Judiciary Committee about these behaviors. Great part of the victims concerning those delicts was involved at the job market and had a low supervision of their social practices. For this reason, members of the Judiciary Committee, who preserved the traditional representations about the feminine, reprehended these behaviors and considered them diverged from the moral and custom. Without considering age and cultural features of the victims, they were judged as rebel and, most of the time, promiscuous women. Belonging to a specific social group, these young women were not only victims of crimes against the custom, but they were also victims of discrimination by a sexist and conservative society.

Full textAbstract: This study analyses the reporting of the Iraqi prisoner abuse issue at Abu Ghraib as reported upon by two South African newspapers from an ethical point of view. The focus falls on the issue of accuracy. Accuracy in war reporting of geographically distant conflicts as exemplified with this case study is a delicate and important matter, the media often being the only window for the public to learn of and about a conflict. In this case study, the two South African newspapers Cape Times and Mail&Guardian will be analysed to show the extent of their adherence to codes of conduct and exemplify the problematic practicalities in ethical reporting on international news. With the main focus of the study being on the ethical issues concerning accuracy, other relevant topics, such as ‘objectivity’, balance, fairness and truth telling, as well as more practical concerns will also be partially considered. The selected case studies are contextualized within the South African media environment so as to yield a better insight into the choices made on an editorial and/or newsroom level. As case studies, selected articles from the Cape Times and the Mail&Guardian during a three-month time-span are analysed using Day’s Situation/Analysis/Decision (SAD) model. Each article will further be analysed from the point of view of the newspaper’s own code of conduct and overarching ethical codes such as the South African Press Ombudsman’s Code of Conduct as well as in terms of the South African laws relevant to the media industry.

Resumo: Esta dissertação discorre sobre o "fazer" policial nos crimes de "violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher" circunscritos na Lei Maria da Penha (11.340/06). O trançar de fios de sentidos e séries de acontecimentos busca entender como a constituição de um saber especializado da polícia civil, emaranhado ao de outros agentes e olhares, produz um tipo de prática e noções sobre os crimes de violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher. O texto tem início no "caminhar" pelos espaços da Delegacia de Defesa da Mulher de Campinas (DDM), no intuito de conhecer seus transeuntes e as múltiplas discursividades que se materializam em suas salas, seu Corredor e suas expectativas a respeito do cotidiano policial. De posse desse relato, acompanho um dos personagens que transita por seu Corredor e salas: a Lei Maria da Penha (11.340/06). Como foi seu nascimento? Quais suas memórias? Quem são seus padrinhos e referências? O que falam sobre ela? Para responder a essas questões, escolho no emaranhado de fios aquelas discursividades produzidas pelos documentos internacionais sobre Direitos Humanos e Direitos das Mulheres, assim como, pela atuação dos diversos movimentos feministas, dos especialistas na temática sobre violência e da polícia civil especializada. Por fim, acompanho essas policiais em seu "fazer" mais minúsculos do cotidiano: a operacionalização dos marcadores de diferença (peças/linhas) gênero doméstico e familiar na transformação de narrativas de violência doméstica em crimes previstos pela Lei Maria da Penha
Abstract: This dissertation discusses police's faire in domestic violence against women circumscribed in Maria da Penha Law (11.340/06).The weaving of meanings and the series of events seeks to understand how the constitution of a specialized knowledge about the civil police, tangled with other agents and eyes, produces practices and notions about the crimes of domestic violence against women. The text begins by the walking on spaces in the Women's Police Stations of Campinas (DDM), in order to know their passers-by and the multiple discourses that are materialized in rooms, its Corridor and expectations about the everyday police officer. After take it, I subscribe one of the characters that move through the Corridor and rooms: the Maria da Penha Law (11.340/06).How was her birth? What are her memories? Who are her sponsors and references? What they talk about her? To answer those questions I choose in the tangle of wires the documents produced by international discourses on Human Rights and Women's Rights, as well as the performance of various feminist movements, the experts on the topic of violence and civilian police staff. Finally, I follow these police officers in their tiniest faire of everyday life: the operation of the domestic and familiar's devices in the transformation of domestic violence against women's narrative in crimes provided by Law Maria da Penha

Full textHistorically Muslim women have been marginalised in the examination of Islamic texts and Muslim society. This has resulted in the non-recognition and silencing of women's perspectives as well as the concealment of some of the traumatic realities experienced by groups of Muslim women. Exacerbated by pervading social and religious notions of "private" families, the incidence of wife battery within Muslim societies have been largely hidden violence against wives is seen as the manifestation of a sexist and patriarchal ideology. This study examines the manner in which Islamic gender discourses inform and impact upon the phenomenon of violence against women. The related tensions between patriarchal and egalitarian Islamic perspectives are explored. This study involves a two-fold feminist analysis of gender ideology in religious texts and contemporary Muslim society. At the level of textual studies, I applied a feminist hermeneutic to medieval and contemporary Qur'anic exegetical literature. The examination of medieval period focused on the exegesis of Abu Jafar Muhumammad b. Jarir al-Tabari (839-922), Abu al-Qasim Mahmud b. Umar Zamakshari (1075-1144), Fakhr al-Din al-Razi (1149- 1210). The study of contemporary exegetical literature concentrated on the approaches and exegeses of Fazlur Rahman and Amina Wadud-Muhsin. Hermeneutical debates on violence against wives were focused on the interpretations of the Qur'anic notion of female nushuz (Q.4:34). In examining contemporary Muslim society, I employed feminist qualitative research methodology. I interviewed a number of women from a South African Muslim community in the Western Cape. Here, the sample consisted of eight women with whom open-ended in-depth interviews were conducted. The interviews were transcribed and thematically analysed. I found that interweaving levels of religious symbols and discourses shaped normative understandings of gender relations. This in turn had implications for both structural and practical discourses of violence against women in Muslim societies. Islamic gender ideology spanned the continuum from patriarchal to feminist approaches. Misogynist religious understandings reinforced the husband's right to control and coerce his wife, even if this implied the use of force. On the other hand, egalitarian Islamic perspectives prioritised the Qur'anic ethics of equality and social justice and rejected the violation of women. I argue that Islam provides numerous resources for the pro-active empowerment of women and the promotion of the full humanity of women.

Full textThis study aims to analyze the process of implementation of Maria da Penha Law in Paraná from the perception of persons directly involved in combating violence against women in that state. To achieve this goal, the implementation in Curitiba was taken as the main reference, due to its status as capital, being the headquarter of the political powers and the place where are some feminist social movements. We have chosen qualitative approach of interpretative nature as research methodology, because it is a method that allows the analysis of the responses and as a data collection technique. We also have chosen the individual semi-structured interview as interview mode, because it gives greater freedom to the interviewee to discuss the matter, but it is delimited to the study objectives. The research included nine persons, including members of the Judiciary and Public Ministry, public servants and activists. The importance of the study stems from the relevance of the numbers of violence against women in Brazil, and more specifically by the significant occurrence of this kind of acts in the state of Paraná, which currently occupies the 3rd place in the ranking for the most violent states. The paper also discusses gender relations by understanding that violence against women is the result of an asymmetrical power relationship between men and women; human rights because violence is a blatant disregard of women's human rights; on public policies and technologies to confront this form of violence. Among the policies, the Maria da Penha Law is highlighted as one of the most striking examples of public policy for combating violence against women. The research found out which was the participation of Paraná in the discussion and implementation of Maria da Penha Law, identifying relevant facts and people and also what was the repercussion obtained by this law. As for the implementation in Paraná, it was possible to determine progresses, difficulties and challenges of the process. The greatest advances obtained so far are the facilities of: Court of Domestic and Family Violence against Women in Curitiba, Maria da Penha Patrol and Women's Special City Office of Curitiba. As for the difficulties, they are related, among others things, to the physical structure, training of agents, political will, and even cultural issues, which are directly linked to gender issues. Thus it was found that the law is implemented in the state, but there are still several challenges to be achieved, which consist, mainly, of the structure increment for combating violence; awareness and change of mentality of public officials; training of service agents and a greater social participation in combating violence. We concluded that the need for change in gender relations, which is an educational and social evolutionary process and therefore time consuming, is also a challenge.
