Download or read book Violence against Women and Ethnicity Commonalities and Differences across Europe written by Monika Schröttle and published by Verlag Barbara Budrich. This book was released on 2011-10-11 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws together both: theory and practice on minority/migrant women and gendered violence. The interplay of gender, ethnicity, religion, class, generation and sexuality in shaping the lives, experiences and choices of minority/migrant women affected by violence has not always been adequately theorised within much of the existing writing on violence against women. Feminist theory, especially the insights provided by the concept of intersectionality, are central to the editors’ conceptual frameworks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La violence envers les femmes est la forme d’atteinte aux droits fondamentaux la plus envahissante dans le monde aujourd’hui, sachant que le pourcentage de femmes subissant de la violence physique ou sexuelle peut s’élever jusqu’à 70 % dans certains pays. En effet, la violence envers les femmes prend plusieurs formes – violence conjugale, agression sexuelle, traite des femmes, crimes d’honneur, violences en temps de guerre – et plusieurs visages – immigrantes, autochtones, handicapées, lesbiennes. Les besoins des femmes victimes de violence sont ainsi multiples, et les personnes qui œuvrent auprès d’elles doivent relever des défis de plus en plus nombreux pour arriver à y répondre. Cette problématique a motivé les auteurs de ce livre à s’interroger sur les différentes façons de concevoir la violence envers les femmes partout dans le monde, à en comprendre les causes et les conséquences et à développer différentes réponses sociales pour satisfaire les besoins différenciés des personnes. Trois parties composent l’ouvrage : les nouvelles perspectives théoriques et de recherche dans le domaine de la violence faite aux femmes ; les réalités complexes et les contextes de vulnérabilité à découvrir ; et les effets et les limites des interventions politiques, juridiques et psychosociales. Grâce aux contributions variées de chercheurs, d’intervenants et de décideurs d’Amérique du Nord et d’Europe, un pas important est franchi dans la longue marche visant à réduire la violence envers les femmes et à renforcer l’égalité entre les hommes et les femmes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IL FAUT LEVER LE VOILE SUR LES VIOLENCES ENVERS LES FEMMES. Malgré plusieurs décennies de luttes, elles continuent de s’exercer dans l’espace privé, mais aussi dans l’espace public. Violence conjugale, excision, mariage forcé, crime d’honneur, sexisme, viol, harcèlement moral et sexuel, prostitution, exploitation sexuelle... la liste est longue. Certes, des pratiques encourageantes ont contribué à limiter, à condamner ou à éliminer ces violences, mais de nombreuses lacunes et difficultés traduisent les insuffisances et les limites des réponses qui sont apportées. Pourtant, un outil de conscientisation efficace est curieusement resté dans l’ombre : les responsabilités individuelles et collectives. Rappelant les instances gouvernementales à leur devoir d’engagement dans la lutte contre la violence, cet instrument contribue à refuser la -déresponsabilisation sociale et libérale grandissante. Des professionnels du terrain et de la recherche mobilisent ici toutes leurs compétences, leur savoir-faire et leur savoir-être afin de trouver, d’une part, comment responsabiliser plus et autrement l’ensemble des acteurs de changement et, d’autre part, comment rendre plus efficaces les orientations politiques et sociales afin de mieux répondre aux besoins des femmes violentées. Apportant de nouveaux éléments de réflexion et des outils au service d’une action concertée, cet ouvrage se veut une contribution pour renforcer la lutte contre toutes les violences faites aux femmes dans le monde entier.
Download or read book Family Violence and Police Response written by Marijke Malsch and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Police response to incidents of intimate partner violence can be critical. This volume investigates the elements in the institutional, legal and organizational context that are relevant for police response to incidents in the realm of the private sphere and whether there exists a relation with the reporting of such incidents by victims. Addressing this complex question requires insights from research, policy and practice and, as such, any conclusions will have implications for each of these fields. This volume addresses issues that are key elements in the relationship between the (legal) response to family violence and the reporting by victims. These issues concern societal and legal definitions of family violence employed in research, policy making and legal practice; how the legislation of various countries covers violence in the private sphere; the way the police deal with reported incidents of intimate partner violence; and the role that other interventions play in the response to and combat of family violence and intimate partner violence.

Download or read book Femmes twas et droits des Twas dans la r gion africaine des Grands Lacs written by Dorothy Jackson and published by Minority Rights Group. This book was released on 2003-11-10 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les Twas, en tant que peuple autochtone de la région africaine des Grands Lacs, sont dénigrés par de nombreux autres groupes ethniques. Si les Twas dans leur ensemble souffrent de discrimination, de marginalisation et d’extrême pauvreté, combien plus les femmes twas en souffrent-elles. Cette situation a été récemment exacerbée par le violent conflit qui a secoué la région. Dorothy Jackson possède de nombreuses années d’expérience et de travail aux côtés des communautés twas de la région et des femmes twas en particulier. On devine clairement les voix des femmes twas dans ce rapport, qui plaident pour des changements et la reconnaissance de leurs droits – en tant qu’autochtones et en tant que femmes. Malgré la discrimination et la pauvreté qui sont leur lot quotidien, elles sont pleines d’énergie, d’idées et de courage, ce que ce rapport suffit à démontrer. La question foncière est aujourd’hui de premier ordre pour les femmes comme pour les communautés twas. Les Twas étaient traditionnellement dépendants des forêts et des territoires sur lesquelles ils vivaient. Or aujourd’hui, la plupart des Twas sont sans terre. Leur culture et leur existence même sont en danger. Qui plus est, les changements profonds qui affectent aujourd’hui leurs sociétés sont en train de remettre en question le statut traditionnel d’égalité entre hommes et femmes. Ce rapport présente les politiques gouvernementales et les instruments juridiques internationaux relatifs aux droits humains que les Twas et les organisations qui les soutiennent pourraient utiliser au Burundi, en Ouganda, en République démocratique du Congo et au Rwanda. En guise de conclusion, le rapport offre des recommandations aux gouvernements de ces Etats et aux organisations de développement.

This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Violence against women is a global problem that includes domestic violence, sexual abuse of girls and women, trafficking of women, violence in humanitarian crisis settings, violence against female patients including abuse of doctor-patient relationships, and harassment and discrimination of women at the workplace. The mental sequelae of abused women includes posttraumatic stress syndromes, anxiety and depressive disorders, suicidality, substance abuse, and dissociative and somatoform disorders. However, to date, psychiatry and psychotherapy have widely neglected violence as an influencing factor on mental health. This book, which is the first comprehensive overview, discusses current evidence of the links between violence against women and mental health. It is authored by internationally renowned experts, and is both enlightening and thought-provoking. It reviews violence against women in different parts of the world and discusses its prevalence, nature and underlying causes. It looks at the implications of these findings for mental health policies and programs, and further, it strives to stimulate discussion and debate that will hopefully lead to pro-action not only in the medical but also in the political field. This book is essential reading for therapists and clinicians from varying fields, including psychiatry, psychosomatics, general medicine, and gynecology. It shall also serve as an important reference book for sociologists and policy makers.

Throughout these chapters, women’s lived experience is compared and contrasted in such critical areas as: Home and work lives Physical, medical, and psychological issues Safety and violence Sexual and reproductive concerns Political participation and status under the law Impact of technology and globalism Country-specific topics Women's Evolving Lives is a forward-facing reference for psychology professionals of varied disciplines, as well as for colleagues in other fields, including women’s and gender studies, sociology, anthropology, international studies, and education.
