Workplace violence against nurses causes stress, job dissatisfaction, injury, and financial burden. The purpose of this project was to examine training for nurses on violence, risk factors and on reporting workplace violence. The practice-focused question was designed to examine the effectiveness of educating nurses regarding violent patients and how to report episodes of violence. Benner's novice to expert theory guided the skill acquisition training of a convenience sample of 25 Midwestern medical nurses. The nurses participated by completing a survey prior to and following a violence simulation. A qualitative design was used with the 25 nurse participants who completed the pre-and post-simulation education surveys to assess for increased knowledge. Data were manually tabulated by coding responses into categories. Categorical themes of risk factors related to violence included environment, behavior, and illness-related; and themes related to interventions to prevent violence included awareness, education, communication, de-escalation, and calming. Overall results indicated that nurses saw the importance of reporting all injuries and violence to supervisors. The project makes a meaningful contribution to nursing practice by informing nurses how to report violence and injury from violence, and by informing administrators of the need for education in the recognition of risk factors for violence. The positive social change impact of this study for nurses is increased awareness that violence is not acceptable, and that a healthy work environment benefits nurses and promotes a safer healthcare work environment for patients and visitors to the healthcare setting.

Violence against women is considered a global issue and it denies women their most basic human right, their health. The news media have been identified as an important factor in how violence against women is interpreted and perceived by society. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate how journalists and editors in Guyana, South America, work with the coverage of violence against women. Furthermore, this thesis examines what policies and views on news value that are prominent on the newspapers and what possibilities journalists and editors experience, to make an impact on society, through their reporting. Eight qualitative in-depth interviews were carried out with editors and reporters on the three most widely spread daily newspapers in Guyana. Also a quantitative content analysis, covering January-April 2014, was performed on the same newspapers. In total 159 articles that reported on cases of violence against women were found and coded. The result indicates that the reporting in Guyana conforms to previous research. The conclusion is that when it comes to context, language and sources used, the newspapers generally fail to work with violence against women adequately. The reporting preserves and reproduces patriarchal power structures by using victim blaming or perpetrator excusing language, not covering it as a social issue and overusing official sources. Furthermore, the result indicates that there are unwritten policies on the newspapers. However, these guidelines are not always followed. The study indicates that the reporting is not given enough resources in terms of time and money, which might be a result of that reporters and editors do not experience that readers are interested enough for the topic to get sufficient resources.

Il primo capitolo della tesi tratta la violenza contro le donne, partendo dalla nozione nel diritto internazionale, il progresso del diritto internazionale relativo a questo fenomeno, la cause strutturali della violenza contro le donne, la dimensione che riguarda i diritti umani e gli strumenti giuridici internazionali e regionali che regolano la violenza contro le donne. Il secondo capitolo si focalizza sula violenza contro le donne nello sport. Inizia con la mancata nozione del fenomeno, oltre alla mancanza di consapevolezza, e poi vengono forniti dei dati che dimostrano la violenza contro le donne nello sport. Successivamente vengono illustrati i limiti dello studio e le varie forme che la violenza contro le donne nello sport può assumere: scarsi livelli di partecipazione, vittimizzazione sessuale, sport professionistici e gender pay gap, disuguaglianze per quanto riguarda le posizioni di allenatore e di di leadership, discriminazione dei media, violenza contro le giovani atlete e l'intersezionalità). Nel terzo capitolo vengono date delle generalità di diritto sportivo (sia internazionale sia europeo) e del sistema giudiziario sportivo. Vengono poi illustrati gli attori coinvolti nella violenza contro le donne nello sport (a livello internazionale, regionale, e degli stati membri dell'Unione Europea) e gli strumenti che hanno adottato, e la dimensione che riguarda i diritti umani di questo fenomeno. Nel quarto e ultimo capitolo, che tratta della prevenzione della violenza contro le donne nello sport, si parte dalla spiegazione degli obblighi degli stati per quanto riguarda la violenza contro le donne in generale, per poi passare ai prossimi passi che possono essere presi per combattere la violenza contro le donne nello sport (riforme procedurali ed un eventuale protocollo). Successivamente vengono illustrati gli approcci alla prevenzione, gli attori che promuovo la prevenzione e le iniziative di prevenzione della violenza contro le donne nello sport da cui si può prendere inspirazione. Viene spiegato il "6Ps framework" e le possibili misure future che possono adottare la Commissione Europea, gli stati memebri dell'Unione Europea e le organizzazioni sportive. Si conclude con il percorso che ha fatto il calcio femminile, per inforndere sperenza per il futuro degli sport femminili.

This commentary outlines how my published works have contributed to knowledge on violence against black and minority ethnic (BME) or minority women in the UK, particularly in relation to domestic violence, forced marriage and so called 'honour' based violence (HBV). They help to define and enhance our understanding of these issues. In addition, they have critiqued multiculturalism and influenced, advocated and developed the former Home Office Minister, Mike O'Brien's concept of 'mature multiculturalism' (Parliamentary Debates, 1999; also cited in Home Office, 2000:10), and utilised the theoretical framework of intersectionality (Crenshaw, 1989 and 1991) to address these problems. I have also located my works within the framework of violence against women and girls (VAWG), secularism, equalities and human rights. My publications have reflected upon and influenced policy, practice and research, and as such, contributed to documenting the history and achievements of black feminism.

This dissertation traces through history the manner in which women around the globe have been forced into subordination to man. In this context, it looks at the role played by the patriarchal system in women's subjugation and violence against women. It identifies the different faces of violence against women around the world and focuses on the various forms of violence against women. The dissertation then presents a global review of violence against women in detention and analyses the abusive use of this power by agencies of the state. To reflect how this power, lacking in accountability and deterrent force, can result in a mockery of the whole concept of justice, the dissertation reviews violence against women who are directly under the control of police--the primary law enforcement agency of the state. The dissertation uses examples the Indian sub-continent to show how the attitude of police in developing countries has, instead of controlling the violence, promoted violence against women and the impact of this attitude on the society. The dissertation analyses the general attitude of police towards violence against women; the victims' perception of the police, and the police perception of abused women on the issues of family violence. It observes that elimination of violence against women cannot be achieved through law reform alone. Proper enforcement of such reformative measures, accountability of the enforcers and condemnation of enforcers when they fail to do what is expected of them are equally important to eliminate violence against women. The dissertation concludes with the argument that under the present structure of society violence against women cannot be eliminated until the attitude of women towards their own selves is changed as well as that of men in general and police in particular, which directly affects the attitude of men towards women.

The intention of this thesis was to understand why and how women organized or participated in peaceful movements aimed at stopping collective, organized male violence in the public sphere. Historical archives were used to examine four social movements – Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, Greenham Common Peace Camp, Committee of Soldiers’ Mothers of Russia, and the Antimafia Movement – that attempted to end violence from male organizations. The findings from this thesis discovered that through the process of framing, which was permitted by increased power obtained in society through the workforce, women took a peaceful, self-invested, but overall altruistic, role in social movements.

During the latest years, the phenomenon of violence against teachers has been a growing concern for contemporary schools all over the world (Bounds & Jenkins, 2018). Existing studies propose increasing prevalence estimates (McMahon et al., 2017) and various harmful consequences for victims and schools (Wilson et al., 2011; Huang et al., 2017). Yet, this phenomenon is still severely understudied. Therefore, this study attempts to address some of the existing literature gaps by providing in-depth qualitative information on educators’ thoughts and experiences on the subject. More specifically, this study aims to investigate the different forms and consequences of violence against teachers as well as the teachers’ perceptions about the factors that motivate students to engage in violent behaviours against them. Information relevant to the purpose of this study was comprehended through semi-structured interviews and analysed by using the method of conventional context analysis. Findings from the interviews suggested that violence against teachers is commonly experienced in both indirect (e.g. rumour spreading, property crime) and direct forms (e.g. verbal and physical violence), whereas consequences were found to impact teachers’ psychological wellbeing, their personal lives, the students and consequently several aspects of the school climate itself (e.g. teaching and learning experience). Additional findings suggested that students’ violent behaviour can be motivated by several factors who are either of personal nature to a student (e.g. receiving an unexpected grade) or a result of the preestablished student culture (e.g. normalisation of violence among peers and generalisation of behaviour). Directions for future research, policy implications and targeted interventions are considered in the context of these findings.

Obstetric violence is considered as a particular type of mistreatment which can hurt physically, mentally and psychologically a pregnant woman and it occurs in both public hospital and private health facilities. It is performed by health personnel that, through abuses and mistreatments during the pregnancy and the post-partum cares, violate some human rights of women such as the right to information and autonomous consensus, the right to life and health and to privacy.
In this thesis, obstetric violence is analysed from the juridical point of view and it is showed why it should be considered as another category of violence against women even though there is still not an unanimous consensus at international level. It has been demostrated that many of the practices normally performed to accelerate a birth, are considered dangerous by the WHO. At least one in five women has suffered from obstetric violence and in some case, that leds to maternal death.
From Venezuela 2007 (the first time the term is used in a national law) to the latest projects of law and judgements by international courts, this thesis explains why international bodies should finally recognise obstetric violence as a type of violence against women and give it an international recognisition.

The problem of male violence against women in intimate relationships has been addressed by the feminist literature over past four decades, but little work exists on the experiences of Pakistani women. This study aimed to explore the experiences of Pakistani women in Scotland who have suffered marital violence. It was based upon feminist perspective and employed qualitative methodology. Interviews with eighteen Pakistani women were carried out. The findings from this study extend an understanding of marital violence in the context of extended family where the perpetrator of violence against a wife is not just a husband but the mother-in-law also. Thus it complicates the understanding of family as site of violence that is not dyadic in nature. The findings also reveal that women can be both victims and perpetrators in their life time when seen through their position in life cycle based hierarchies in their marital homes.

Gun violence in New Orleans has grown exponentially over the years. As a society we often forget to reflect on how gun violence effects the youth in our communities. Local members of the community in New Orleans have decided to come together to form organizations that can produce better outcomes for the youth in the New Orleans area, two of those organizations being Son of A Saint and the Youth Empowerment Project. Both of these organizations have started the journey to decreasing the amount of gun violence in the city.

Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa, através da análise de quatro casos atendidos em uma unidade de referência da rede de proteção a mulheres vítimas de violência doméstica no município do Rio de Janeiro. Os resultados demonstram a persistência de segmentação da rede de atendimento, desfavorecendo a abordagem da família em sua complexidade e dificultando a garantia, concomitante e integrada, dos direitos humanos de mulheres vítimas de violência conjugal e de seus filhos quanto às repercussões destes conflitos como expressão possível de violência psicológica.

Esta tesis doctoral se divide en tres capítulos. El primero está relacionado con la economía de la salud; el segundo y tercero con el análisis de la violencia contra las mujeres.
En el primer capítulo, realizado conjuntamente con Jaume Puig-Junoy y Marcos Vera-Hernández, estimamos la elasticidad-precio de los medicamentos utilizando aspectos únicos del Sistema Nacional de Salud (SNS) español: (1) el copago de los fármacos recetados cae del 40% (10% para los fármacos para condiciones crónicas) al 0% en el momento de la jubilación; (2) la probabilidad de jubilarse experimenta un salto a los 65 años, la edad legal de jubilación, lo que nos permite aplicar un análisis de regresión discontinua para separar el efecto precio del efecto selección. Utilizamos datos administrativos para todos los individuos entre los 63-67 años, cubiertos por el SNS en Cataluña para el periodo 2004-2006. Encontramos que la elasticidad-precio de los fármacos recetados es -0,20 para medicamentos para condiciones no crónicas, y -0,08 o -0,03 para condiciones crónicas. Dada la magnitud de nuestros estimadores, éstos siguen siendo informativos incluso si los interpretamos como potencialmente sesgados. También encontramos un pequeño aumento en el gasto en fármacos médicamente inapropiados debido al descenso en los copagos.
En el segundo capítulo exploro los orígenes históricos de la violencia contra las mujeres. Comparado en la literatura previa, que solo ha prestado atención a los determinantes a corto plazo de la violencia doméstica, este estudio se centra en los determinantes a largo plazo. Analizo la relación entre tipos de familia históricos (troncal vs. nuclear) y violencia por parte de la pareja (VP). En las familias troncales cohabitan dos generaciones -un hijo se queda a vivir con sus padres en la casa familiar, con su esposa e hijos-, mientras que en las familias nucleares todos los hijos abandonan la casa familiar para formar sus propios hogares. Modelizo el comportamiento de una familia tradicional campesina y muestro cómo la co-residencia con la suegra (característico de las familias troncales) aumentó la contribución de la esposa joven al trabajo agrícola. Esto a su vez pudo disminuir el nivel de violencia puesto que en el modelo la violencia reduce la productividad. En el análisis empírico utilizo datos españoles ya que este país proporciona medidas de VP de la máxima calidad y los tipos de familia han sido estables y persistentes. Los resultados muestran que los territorios donde la familia troncal era socialmente predominante en el pasado tienen actualmente una tasa de VP menor. Para establecer efectos causales, utilizo la Reconquista cristiana de la Península Ibérica (722-1492) como instrumento para los diferentes tipos de familia.
Por último, en el tercer capítulo analizo el vínculo entre desempleo y violencia doméstica. A pesar de la percepción general de que la VP aumenta con las recesiones, la evidencia no es concluyente. Este estudio contribuye a la literatura analizando la relación entre VP y desempleo utilizando datos individuales sobre VP para España. También contribuye incluyendo en el análisis la identidad de género, que viene determinada por el tipo de familia histórico (troncal vs. nuclear) que prevaleció en cada región. Utilizo variación regional y temporal en el desempleo femenino y masculino y encuentro impactos heterogéneos del desempleo en la VP. En provincias con roles de género más tradicionales (familia nuclear), un descenso en el desempleo femenino está asociado a un aumento en la VP, potencialmente porque los hombres sienten su masculinidad amenazada. En provincias con roles de género más igualitarios (familia troncal) este efecto queda compensado. También encuentro que el desempleo tiene un impacto mayor y más significativo sobre el maltrato económico o estructural que sobre la violencia física y sexual.This doctoral dissertation is divided into three chapters. The first one is related to health economics, and the second and third analyse violence against women. In the first chapter, co-authored with Jaume Puig-Junoy and Marcos Vera-Hernández, we estimate the price-elasticity of prescription drugs exploiting three unique features of the Spanish health system (1) the co-payment of prescription drug drops from 40% (10% for chronic diseases drugs) to 0% upon retirement, while the co-payment for the rest of health care services remains constant; (2) retirement jumps discontinuously at age 65, the legal retirement age, which allows us to use a Regression Discontinuity design to disentangle price from selection effects; and (3) absence of deductibles or caps in yearly or monthly out-of-pocket expenditure, which simplifies the computation of elasticities. We use administrative data from all individuals aged 63-67 covered by the National Health System in Catalonia (Spain) from 2004-2006. We find that the price-elasticity of prescription drugs is -0.20 for non-chronic condition drugs, and -0.08 or -0.03 for chronic conditions drugs. Given the size of our estimates, they remain informative even if we interpret them as being possibly biased away from zero (for reasons discussed in the paper). We also find a small increase in the expenditure on medically inappropriate drugs due to the decrease in co-payments. In the second chapter I explore the historical origins of violence against women. Compared to previous literature, which has only paid attention to short-term determinants of domestic violence, this study looks at long-term determinants. It analyzes the relationship between historical family types (stem vs. nuclear) and intimate-partner violence (IPV). In stem families two generations cohabitate as one son stays at the parental house with his wife and kids, whereas in nuclear families all children leave to start their independent households. I model the behavior of a traditional peasant family and show how co-residence with the mother-in-law (a feature of stem families) increased the wife’s contribution to farming work. This in turn could decrease the level of violence since in the model it reduces wife’s productivity. In the empirical analysis I use Spanish data as this country not only offers IPV measures of the highest quality but also stable and persistent family types. Results show that territories where stem family was socially predominant in the past have nowadays a lower IPV rate. I control for a large number of contemporaneous, historical and geographical variables. To address causality, I use the Christian “Reconquest” of the Iberian Peninsula (722-1492) as an instrument for the different family types. Finally, in the third chapter I explore the link between unemployment and domestic violence. Despite the general perception that domestic violence increases with recessions, the evidence is inconclusive. This study contributes to this literature by analysing the relationship between intimate-partner violence (IPV) and unemployment using individual IPV data for Spain. It also contributes by including in the analysis the gender identity, which is determined by the historical family types (stem vs. nuclear) that prevailed in each region. I exploit regional and time variation in female and male unemployment and find heterogeneous impacts of unemployment on IPV. In territories with more traditional gender roles (nuclear family), a decrease in female unemployment relative to male unemployment is associated with an increase in the IPV incidence, potentially because men feel their traditional gender role threatened. In provinces with more equal gender roles (stem family) this effect is offset. I also find that unemployment has a higher and significant impact on economic and structural abuse rather than on physical and sexual violence.

Domestic violence or intimate partner violence is increasingly being recognized as a problem that seems to be spiralling out of control. The causes of domestic violence have preoccupied scientists for several decades. The hypothesis that domestic violence might be biologically determined was significantly undermined by observations that its occurrence varies considerably between, as well as within, societies. The aim of this study was to add to the growing, but still rather fragmented, body of knowledge in South Africa on violence against women. This study seeks to analyze domestic violence from an angle whereby the data can be explored to find factors contributing to women experiencing domestic violence in South Africa. The objectives of this research are to measure the prevalence of physical, sexual and financial abuse and to identify a profile of women who have experienced domestic violence.

Domestic violence against children is well known on the social problem aspect, and Sweden has become the first country clarifying its stance on physical punishment and child abuse since established “anti-spanking” law in 1979. The purpose of this research was to investigate how Swedish social workers deal with the issue about domestic violence against children. The research was developed with hermeneutics approach and ecological systems theory, and carried out by four respondents from Social Services Gävle. With the answers claimed by the respondents, constitute the results and conclusions, that is all kinds of tackling methods about child abuse should be regulated by laws, and cooperate with police or citizens comprehensively, especially in the period of investigation. This paper might be a general pattern, but we do hope it could make people rethinking about child abuse issues, that probably may reduce a little bit pressure to children in the future.

Little is known about domestic violence experienced by Thai pregnant women. This exploratory descriptive study aimed to investigate the prevalence of domestic violence during pregnancy and immediate postpartum period among Thai women aged between 18 and 45 years. The study also aimed to investigate maternal and neonatal outcomes for childbearing women, the ways in which they dealt with domestic violence, barriers that inhibited them from seeking help or resisting violence, as well as the needs and support that would be helpful in dealing with domestic violence. A cohort of 421 women in their third trimester of pregnancy was recruited from two tertiary public hospital antenatal clinics located in Khon Kaen Province, Northeastern Thailand. Structured questionnaires were used. Participants were again contacted at six weeks postpartum either in person at the family planning clinics or by telephone. Two hundred and seventy-four women were able to be contacted. The results showed that 53.7% of women reported psychological abuse, 26.6% experienced threats of and/or acts of physical abuse, and 19.2% experienced sexual violence during the current pregnancy. In the postpartum period, 35.4% of women reported psychological abuse, 9.5% reported threats of and/or acts of physical abuse, and 11.3% experienced sexual abuse. Women who were abused during pregnancy showed significantly poorer health status compared to non-abused women in role emotional functioning, vitality, bodily pain, mental health and social functioning. Women who experienced postpartum abuse reported significantly lower mean scores in mental health and social functioning than women who did not. Antepartum haemorrhage was also found to be statistically associated with physical abuse. No statistical differences were found between abuse status and neonatal outcomes. There were several strategies used by abused women in dealing with domestic violence to maximize their safety including crying, keeping quiet, leaving violent situations and temporarily staying with relatives, seeking help from others, and notifying local authorities. Support services that would be helpful for abused women in dealing with the problem included emotional support, social legal assistance, and community health promotion. Domestic violence during pregnancy and after birth is an increasing but under-recognized problem in Thailand. It has pervasive consequences on maternal health. The findings from this study suggest more interventions and urgent domestic violence support services need to be established in this remote area of Thailand. This study also suggests routine screening for domestic violence should be established to provide effective early intervention and prevention of adverse consequences of violence, as pregnancy is a time when most pregnant women seek health care.

Health personnel, especially nurses, are often victims of workplace violence. Unfortunately, little is known about the nurses' experience of violence. A research study was initiated to further explore the nurses' accounts of workplace violence so as to make dimensions of the nurses' experience visible and more fully understood.
Interpretive description was the research methodology adopted for this study. Using theoretical sampling, ten Registered Nurses from the lower mainland and Vancouver Island, British Columbia participated in semi structured, audiotaped interviews.
In this research, the nurses' experience of workplace violence emerged as a highly complex entity, deeply embedded in relationships and context. How nurses perceive the contextual factors of the organization, their immediate work environment and their individual attributes were found to play a significant role in how they respond to the phenomenon.
The findings of this study suggest that organizational culture is an important determinant in managing workplace violence and that policy and administrative personnel play a pivotal role in influencing the problem. Nursing culture also influences the nurses' expectations, assumptions and actions towards violence. Participants voiced that role conflict often challenged their ability to enact acquired professional ideals and that that they routinely undertake roles in dealing with violence that are not appropriate to their level of knowledge or skill.
Within the nurses' immediate work environment, bullying as well as physical and verbal abuse was commonplace. Overcrowding, long waits for service, poor environmental design and inadequate staff to patient ratios were seen as factors that increased nurses' risk.
Individual factors were associated with emotional and psychological harms that nurses endured. Workplace violence affected self-concept, self-esteem, self-efficacy and the nurses' sense of control. Moral distress, self-blame, feelings of failure, loss of motivation and leaving the nursing profession were significant findings.
The results of this study demonstrate a need to re-think how we can address workplace violence in nursing. Research and intervention is needed to further explore organizational policy and governing structures, the culture and climate of practice environments, and the fundamental role nursing education programs have in preparing nurses to manage workplace violence.

This dissertation investigates discourses of anti-violence strategies in the context of international development. While violence against women is, of course, an urgent problem, this dissertation explores how the urgency to end violence against women is socially, culturally, economically, and politically constructed. I consider the manufacturing of urgency in three case studies of contemporary anti-violence initiatives: i) American foreign policy including what has been branded as “The Hillary Doctrine” and proposed International Violence Against Women Act; ii) the World Bank’s report entitled The Cost of Violence; and iii) the United Nation’s UNiTE To End Violence Against Women and Say NO campaigns. In doing so, I argue that World Bank, the United Nations, and American foreign policies are too often technocratic, narrow, depoliticized, and are executed in an urgent manner in the interest of neoliberal economic growth, security concerns, and “feel good” aid at the expense of more holistic, effective and accountable responses to global violence against women.

The purpose of this study was to conduct extensive research on domestic violence against women in Pakistan and to present the results in a comprehensive document. Some of the issues investigated through fieldwork and covered here include the social and cultural reasons for violence against women, the ways in which the women are victimised, the extent of this violence and its implications for the victims and society at large. Emphasis was placed on the review of shortcoming of laws for protection of women. At the end, detailed recommendations were made for practical steps in which women can be given more legal protection, and society can be sensitised to the rights of women. It was found that some of the major reasons for violence against women include treatment of women as objects and property, legitimisation of cruel practices through tradition and misinterpretation of religion, and patriarchal nature of society that enables men to reinforce their social power through subjugation of women. While around 80% of Pakistani women are reported to face some form of domestic violence every year, horrific crimes such as honour killings, acid burnings and marital rape are also quite common. There are several absurd practices such as exchanging of women to settle tribal disputes and selling them to payoff debt, which depict the treatment of women as commodities. The violence against women goes unchecked because of an unjust legal system that leads to unfair settlements and custodial violence against women. The brutalisation and torture of women has several negative impacts that start with the continuous fear and feelings of worthlessness among the victims. Large-scale mistreatment of women forces economic backwardness on them and creates widespread gender-disparity
(cont.) in the country. There are several possible measures that should be taken to stop the self-perpetuating and vicious cycle of violence against women. These include gender-training programs for law-enforcement and judicial personnel, the addition of materials that teach the importance of equal rights of women in school and college curricula, and a large-scale collaboration between the government and the private sector to create support and shelter facilities for women in distress. Other steps such as constitutional amendments to abolish biased laws and to incorporate gender-neutrality in civil jurisdiction are very important as well. Though the overall picture is quite bleak for women in Pakistan, there are some rays of hope through isolated cases in which society has supported victimised women and the legal system has dispensed justice. Overall, this report is a manifesto for improving the plight of millions of battered women in Pakistan who deserve social justice.

United Nations Peacekeeping has proven to be remarkably effective at reducing violence against civilians - without using compellent force. A recent turn towards peace enforcement raises the questions: Does the use of force within a peace enforcement mandate affect the use of violence against civilians by an armed group? If this is the case, by what mechanism does this effect occur? This thesis provides two novel explanations on how the use of force by peacekeepers could affect violence against civilians by the targeted armed group. One predicts decreased- and the other one increased levels of violence. These explanations are tested on the Force Intervention Brigade, which was deployed to the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2013. A most similar comparison between the three most powerful armed groups in North Kivu at the time is drawn and examined with the method of structured focussed comparison. The most similar comparison does not reveal a clear correlation. Yet, temporal order as well as anecdotal evidence give tentative support for the main argument of the thesis. It suggests that compellent force against an armed group leads to strengthened deterrence and physical separation, which ultimately results in fewer civilian targeting.

Little is known about domestic violence experienced by Thai pregnant women. This exploratory descriptive study aimed to investigate the prevalence of domestic violence during pregnancy and immediate postpartum period among Thai women aged between 18 and 45 years. The study also aimed to investigate maternal and neonatal outcomes for childbearing women, the ways in which they dealt with domestic violence, barriers that inhibited them from seeking help or resisting violence, as well as the needs and support that would be helpful in dealing with domestic violence. A cohort of 421 women in their third trimester of pregnancy was recruited from two tertiary public hospital antenatal clinics located in Khon Kaen Province, Northeastern Thailand. Structured questionnaires were used. Participants were again contacted at six weeks postpartum either in person at the family planning clinics or by telephone. Two hundred and seventy-four women were able to be contacted. The results showed that 53.7% of women reported psychological abuse, 26.6% experienced threats of and/or acts of physical abuse, and 19.2% experienced sexual violence during the current pregnancy. In the postpartum period, 35.4% of women reported psychological abuse, 9.5% reported threats of and/or acts of physical abuse, and 11.3% experienced sexual abuse. Women who were abused during pregnancy showed significantly poorer health status compared to non-abused women in role emotional functioning, vitality, bodily pain, mental health and social functioning. Women who experienced postpartum abuse reported significantly lower mean scores in mental health and social functioning than women who did not. Antepartum haemorrhage was also found to be statistically associated with physical abuse. No statistical differences were found between abuse status and neonatal outcomes. There were several strategies used by abused women in dealing with domestic violence to maximize their safety including crying, keeping quiet, leaving violent situations and temporarily staying with relatives, seeking help from others, and notifying local authorities. Support services that would be helpful for abused women in dealing with the problem included emotional support, social legal assistance, and community health promotion. Domestic violence during pregnancy and after birth is an increasing but under-recognized problem in Thailand. It has pervasive consequences on maternal health. The findings from this study suggest more interventions and urgent domestic violence support services need to be established in this remote area of Thailand. This study also suggests routine screening for domestic violence should be established to provide effective early intervention and prevention of adverse consequences of violence, as pregnancy is a time when most pregnant women seek health care.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Анотація:
Indiscriminate violence against civilians is a recurrent problem in armed conflicts of all sorts. However, from a social science perspective this type of violence poses a puzzle. The literature on government and non-government violence mostly assumes that indiscriminate violence has counter-productive effect and is ultimately self-defeating. Yet, this begs the question as to why an actor should use indiscriminate violence at all? This dissertation tries to solve at least part of the puzzle. First, it critically reviews the literature and points to some misunderstandings that have made progress in comprehending indiscriminate violence more difficult. Second, the dissertation provides a theory on the effects of indiscriminate violence that targets groups, i.e. group-selective violence. While most of the literature assumes that violence against groups seeks to coerce the groups that are attacked, this dissertation widens the view and includes non-targeted groups in the calculation as well. It thereby demonstrates that group-selective violence can be able to produce coercive effects among those groups that are not targeted while generating only limited counter-productive effects. Empirically, this dissertation provides two types of supporting evidence. First, it will provide several case studies as a plausibility probe. These cases are designed to highlight that group-selective violence is used in the way proposed by the theory and has the hypothesized effects. Second, the dissertation will test the hypotheses of the theory of group-selective violence with data on violence against civilians in ethnic wars. Here quantitative methods are used to investigate the patterns and the consequences of violence. Both empirical investigations provide support for the notion that group-selective violence can be beneficial for the perpetrator and that it is used to achieve those benefits. In sum, this dissertation puts forth the theoretical background and empirical support for the effectiveness of group-selective violence.

Bibliography: leaves 51-58.Gender issues, especially in South Africa, have over recent years moved decisively into the public domain. In this context intimate violence by men of their women partners, so long shrouded in silence, is now being hailed as one of our most serious and prevalent social problems. But despite this awareness the circumstances which underpin this sort of violence remain controversial and obscure and its effective management elusive. This study explores some of the factors which may promote or protect against its use in order to identify which would both assist individuals personally affected by personal violence as well as influence any societal factors which perpetuate it. This study uses the words' wife abuse', 'wife beating', 'spouse abuse' and 'intimate violence' interchangeably to refer to violence towards women by their intimate male partners whether they qualify strictly as 'husbands' or not. The report starts with a brief review of selected literature on the topic of intimate violence. The context of the current study and the pilot work is then discussed. Following this, the Domestic Violence Survey, the core of this report is introduced and the results presented. Finally a brief discussion brings together some of the major findings and makes some tentative suggestions for future investigations.

Sweden like other Nordic countries are cited as models in terms of gender equality in the world. In addition, they played a significant role in the process of changing the Declaration on eradication of discrimination against women (CEDAW) into a binding Convention. However, the report Captured Queen on men’s violence against women published by Brottsoffer-myndigheten (The Crime Victim Compensation and Support Authority) in 2001 showed the extend of this issue of society in Sweden. The purpose of this thesis is to explore how the situation of men’s violence against women in close relationships in Sweden is presented today since the publication of the report Captured Queen in 2001.The theoretical framework consists of the feminist perspectives and concept of hegemonic masculinities. Qualitative method and secondary materials were used to gain a deeper understanding of the issue of men’s violence against women in close relationships in Sweden. The main findings of this thesis show that men’s violence against women in close relationships is a real social problem in Sweden. There is no specific profile of violent men against women in Sweden, since they come from all social classes, backgrounds and of all ages. Men’s violence against women can be explained by the result of inequalities between men and women in social structures. It is this social and collective domination of women by men that facilitate the individual domination of a man over his partner. Therefore, factors such as alcohol consumption cannot be the determinant cause of men’s violence against women. Nonetheless, alcohol consumption constitutes a factor that can promote or increase the likelihood of violence. The latest Swedish sexual assault legislation based on consent entered in force the first July 2018 cannot significantly reduce the extent of this social phenomenon, since social structures in Sweden are based on patriarchal considerations where men dominate over women.

This dissertation examines the role of US legal and administrative institutions in intimate partner violence (IPV) against immigrant women in two instances treated as separate in policy and scholarship: 1) women seeking asylum in the US on account of IPV and 2) immigrant women facing IPV in the US. Through an analysis of congressional hearings, relevant policies and administration, court cases, and interviews with employees at non-governmental organizations that serve immigrant women, this dissertation analyzes the ways in which immigration law intersects with ameliorative policy intended to address IPV in these contexts. In so doing, I develop a broader understanding of how state institutions, policy frameworks, and policy implementation shape the lives of vulnerable immigrant women. Contrary to scholarship that views relevant policies and institutions in the US as well-meaning though inadequate, this dissertation examines the extent to which the state may be directly implicated in IPV against immigrant women and in fostering institutional conditions under which this violence continues to thrive.

Анотація:
This thesis investigates the experience of the women’s anti-violence movement in Sweden and the UK and its attempts to organise against a violent society. The women’s movement redefined male violence against women from a feminist political perspectives and from the outset was critical of the state for failing to address male violence against women and the re-victimisation of women inherent in the conduct of state agencies. As a result, feminism and the anti-violence movement had to engage with the power it sought to change - the state. From the outset the movement was reluctant to engage with the state in a formalised manner, however the advent of state funding for alternative welfare provision in the form of refuges and crisis centres meant the movement had to reassess its stance. Engaging with the state comes with both costs and benefits for the anti-violence movement. State funding of service provision provides stability for organisations, and engagement with the state can result in significant policy gains. However, there is the inherent risk that formalised relationships, restrictions imposed through state funding, and the individualised therapeutic approach preferred by the state, can have a contradictory effect on the movement by emphasising the social service role, thus lessening rather than expanding efforts for wider social and political change. The anti-violence movement in Sweden and the UK has adopted both the mainstreaming and the disengagement strategy in relation to the state. The research concludes that the process of institutionalisation, detailed in literature, that has characterised the US anti-violence movement, has not occurred in Sweden or the UK. Engagement with the state in terms of funding for service provision does impact upon the movement because it siphons energy away from campaigning for political change and into service provision. However, in Sweden and the UK this has not had the effect of transforming refuges and crisis centres from social movement organisations to ameliorative social service organisations. It also concludes that the relationship between organisational form and feminist ideology is not theoretically powerful, nor is it observable in reality, and women’s anti-violence organisations range along a continuum with organisational structure and ideology not necessarily being consistent. In both countries the anti-violence movement has engaged with the state but at the same time resisted cooption into mainstream social services and has retained a feminist political analysis of violence and anti-violence work.

My senior thesis deals with contemporary depictions of sexualized violence against women in fashion photography. Images of bloodied, bruised, and dead-looking models have proliferated in fashion magazine editorials and advertisements since the 1970s and I want to explore why sexualized violence is seen as sexy and compelling advertising, in light of the fact that domestic violence is the greatest cause of injury to women in America. I produced my own fashion photographs in locations of actual female homicides in Los Angeles County, particularly those nearest to Claremont, with the use of The Los Angeles Times online homicide database, which pinpoints every homicide reported in L.A. County since 2007. We live in a world plagued by violence and by creating my own violent, fashion photographs in actual homicide locations, I hoped to jar the viewer out of neutrality and expose violent advertisements and editorials for what they are: objectifying, exploitative, and perverse expressions of hostility against women. The images abuse and demean commercial speech privileges and glamorize and trivialize horrific, actual experiences of violence suffered by countless women.

This bachelor thesis is a qualitative, small-n, empirically driven comparative study that examines the relationship between rebel group ideology and targeted violence against the LGBTIQ+ community. Two rebel groups in the Syrian Arab Republic, with different ideological beliefs, are examined and compared in relation to their level of violence against LGBTIQ+ individuals. Findings in this study suggest that religious groups are keener to use extreme violence against sexual minorities, and to target them explicitly, but further studies are needed to fully understand this targeting of sexual minorities in armed conflicts.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRORealizamos o presente estudo em uma ONG que trabalha com mulheres vítimas de violência domestica, localizada no município de Duque de Caxias, o CDVida-Centro de Defesa da Vida, no período de agosto à dezembro de 2004. O nosso objetivo foi identificar na trajetória de vida dessas mulheres, os motivos que as levaram a permanecer tanto tempo em situação de violência, qual o fato que contribuiu para a quebra do silencio e em que momento elas decidiram procurar ajuda. O levantamento nos arquivos da instituição, do perfil demográfico de 60 mulheres atendidas no primeiro semestre de 2003, nos revelou o grande número de mulheres que permaneciam em situação de violência após longo período de vida em comum. Partindo desse estudo inicial, escolhemos entrevistar algumas mulheres vítimas de violência por parte de seus parceiros íntimos e que ainda se encontravam em atendimento pela equipe técnica do CDVida, objetivando entender os motivos que levaram a permanecer por tanto tempo convivendo com seus parceiros violentos. As informações colhidas nas entrevistas nos possibilitou conhecermos a percepção das mulheres em relação a violência sofrida; as conseqüências da mesma e as dificuldades enfrentadas para romper com a relação. A análise dessas informações nos levou ao entendimento de que a violência doméstica entre parceiros íntimos, é revestida de um caráter muito especial, uma vez que envolve além de laços de intimidade e afeto, na maioria dos casos, a presença dos filhos do casal, que sofrem da mesma maneira que suas mães, as conseqüências da violência. Concluímos ainda a partir dessa análise, que romper com a violência significa romper com a própria dinâmica do seu ciclo que aprisiona e paralisa a mulher. Para romper com esse ciclo, é necessário não só que a mulher encontre apoio para a superação de suas dificuldades individuais , mas também respostas institucionais para que possa exercer plenamente seus direitos enquanto cidadã.
We carried out the present study in an NGO which works women, who are victims of violence in the municipality of Duque de Caxias, the CDVida - Centro de Defesa da Vida ( Center for Protection of life), from Aug to Dec 2004. Our aim was to identify the trajectory of life of these women, the reasons which led them to stay so long in situation of violence, the fact which contributed to breaking the silence, and in which moment they decided to look for help.The data found in the institution files, of a demographic profile of 60 women, trated in the first semester of 2003, revealed the great number of women who remained in situation of violence, after long living together. Starting from this initial study, we chose to interview some women, victimized by their intimate partners, and who were still under treatment by the technical team of CDVida, aiming at understanding the reasons for remaining so long, living with their violent partners. The information colleded from interviews made it possible to know the perception of the women in relation to the violence suffered: the consequences of this, and the hardships found in breaking up the relationship.The analysis of this information led us to understand that domestic violence between intimate partners is characterized in a very special manner, since it involves, besides the ties of intimacy and affection, in most cases, the presence of children of the couple, who suffer in the same way as their mothers, the consequences of violence. Furthermore, we concluded, from this analysis, that ending with violence means ending with the own dynamics of its cycle, which controls and paralyses the woman. To end up this cycle, it is necessary that the woman is not only supported to overcome her individual difficulties, but also find institutional answers in order to carry out thoroughly her rights as citizens.

Le donne palestinesi affrontano enormi sfide rispetto al godimento dei propri diritti, a causa di un sistema legale e culturale prevalente a livello regionale il quale permette la violazione dei diritti delle donne, incoraggia la violenza contro di loro, e le priva del diritto alla giustizia, specialmente in assenza di un sistema legislative nazionale omogeneo che possa proteggere i loro diritti. Ciò costituisce una rilevante contraddizione rispetto agli obblighi internazionali imposti dalla ‘Convenzione sull’elimination di tutte le forme di discriminazione control le donne (CEDAW), di cui la Palestina è firmataria.
Pertanto, questa ricerca mira a identificare le carenze, a livello penale e procedurale, rispetto alla protezione dei diritti delle donne e alla violenza che subiscono. La tesi prende in considerazione mezzi di emancipazione politica ed economica per le donne basandosi sui meccanismi internazionali di protezione delle donne dalla violenza. Infine, la presenti tesi si pone l’obiettivo di evidenziare come l’armonizzazione della legislazione palestinese con questi meccanismi sia possible e di vitale importanza. L’obiettivo finale di questa tesi è di promuovere lo status delle donne palestinesi, la giustizia, e l’uguaglianza.
Il primo capitolo prende in considerazione la protezione giuridica del ‘diritto alla vita, all’integrità fisica, e alla libertà sessuale’. Il capitolo analizza le disposizioni normative che proteggono questo diritto e mostra le carenze del sistema giuridico nel proteggere le donne contro le discriminazioni ed, in particolare, control la violenza contro le donne, come richiesto dalle convenzioni internazionali sui diritti umani.
Il secondo capitolo analizza gli ostacoli e le sfide giuridiche che limitano la capacità delle donne vittime di violenza di avere accesso alla giustizia e al sistema giuridico. Ciò viene approfondito attraverso un esame di pratiche guridiche negative come la detenzione amministrativa in ‘luoghi sicuri’, e le restrizioni giuridiche legate alla denuncia. Inoltre, questo capitolo analizza il sistema giuridico rispetto al problema della violenza contro le donne, il modo in cui affrontano casi di donne vittime di violenza, e la loro adesione alle leggi internazionali sui diritti umani.
Le misure per il rafforzamento e la protezione giuridica dei diritti delle donne vittime di violenza sono discusse nel terzo ed ultimo capitolo. Questo tema viene analizzato attraverso l’adozione di mecchanismi per l’emancipazione giuridica delle donne al fine di creare un’armonia tra le leggi nazionali e gli standard internazionali sui diritti umani e la CEDAW. Il capitol la possibilità e gli ostacoli nell adottare un’apposita legge volta a contrastare la violenza contro le donne, tanto quanto le modalità di risarcimento per le vittime. La tesi non trascura altri aspetti dell’emancipazione femminile.
In particolare, la ricerca analizza l'emancipazione politica delle donne attraverso la loro partecipazione al voto, tanto quanto alla loro partecipazione attiva in politica e al processo decisionale. Inoltre, l'emancipazione economica delle donne si ottiene garantendo loro il diritto all'eredità, al lavoro, e ai fondi comuni sulla base della parità con gli uomini, in modo tale da fornire alle donne le armi necessarie per affrontare ed eliminare la violenza.Abstract Palestinian women face enormous challenges in terms of enjoying and exercising human rights, as a result of the legal and cultural heritage prevailing in the region that permits the violation of women's rights, encourages violence against them, and deprives them of their right to access justice, especially in the absence of a homogeneous national legislative system that protects the rights of women as human rights. This constitutes a fundamental contradiction to the international obligations imposed on Palestine as a state party to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women "CEDAW". Therefore, the present thesis aims to identify the deficiencies in the field of the substantive and procedural criminal protection of Palestinian women's rights in the face of violence, to inform the means of economic and political empowerment of women, to refer to international mechanisms in the face of violence against women, and to harmonize Palestinian legislation for these mechanisms. This is done in order to advance the status of Palestinian women and achieve justice and equality. Chapter One discusses the extent of the criminal protection of women's right to life, physical integrity, and sexual freedom, by analyzing and criticizing the legal provisions that protect these rights in order to show their deficiencies in discrimination against women on the basis of sex, and the deficiencies in ensuring the full protection of women against violence as required by international human rights conventions and charters. Chapter Two discusses the legal and factual obstacles and challenges that limit the abilities of women who are victims of violence to access justice. This is done by highlighting negative practices related to administrative arrest and detention in safe houses, and the legal restrictions and gaps related to the complaint. In addition, it focuses on the position of the criminal justice agencies on cases of violence against women, the way they deal with battered women and their complaints, and their adherence to the laws and respect for human rights standards. Measures to strengthen the criminal protection of women's rights in the face of violence are discussed in Chapter Three the last chapter. This is done by adopting mechanisms for the legal empowerment of women in order to achieve harmony with international human rights standards, and to achieve legislative harmonization with CEDAW, through discussing the rationale of enacting a law to combat violence against women and the obstacles to the adoption of the law to date, and ways to achieve redress for victims. Other aspects of women empowerment are not neglected. In particular, the political empowerment of women is discussed by focusing on ensuring their participation in voting, running in elections, and highlighting the importance of their participation in decision-making. In addition, the economic empowerment of women is achieved by ensuring their right to inheritance, work, and joint funds on an equal basis with men to equip women with the weapons necessary to confront and eliminate violence.
