This book was released on 2011-10-12 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Violence against women and children is a serious public health concern, with costs at multiple levels of society. Although violence is a threat to everyone, women and children are particularly susceptible to victimization because they often have fewer rights or lack appropriate means of protection. In some societies certain types of violence are deemed socially or legally acceptable, thereby contributing further to the risk to women and children. In the past decade research has documented the growing magnitude of such violence, but gaps in the data still remain. Victims of violence of any type fear stigmatization or societal condemnation and thus often hesitate to report crimes. The issue is compounded by the fact that for women and children the perpetrators are often people they know and because some countries lack laws or regulations protecting victims. Some of the data that have been collected suggest that rates of violence against women range from 15 to 71 percent in some countries and that rates of violence against children top 80 percent. These data demonstrate that violence poses a high burden on global health and that violence against women and children is common and universal. Preventing Violence Against Women and Children focuses on these elements of the cycle as they relate to interrupting this transmission of violence. Intervention strategies include preventing violence before it starts as well as preventing recurrence, preventing adverse effects (such as trauma or the consequences of trauma), and preventing the spread of violence to the next generation or social level. Successful strategies consider the context of the violence, such as family, school, community, national, or regional settings, in order to determine the best programs.

This book was released on 2024-02-26 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Social Work, grade: 1,0, San Diego State University, course: Refugees and Immigrants in Contemporary American Society, language: English, abstract: This paper will provide insight into the hidden realm of domestic violence against female immigrants, examining their specific vulnerabilities, needs, and the available support services as well as their blind spots. Despite the increasing numbers of domestic violence cases, battered immigrant women lack the political advocacy necessary to address the issue decisively. A crucial step to achieve this is increasing and improving the financial and personnel support for immigrant organizations (IO) and existing services for domestic violence survivors. Violence and abuse against women can practically occur in all places and in all situations they encounter in their daily lives. Typical ways to classify these acts of violence are based on the location where the violent act takes place, the identity of the perpetrator(s), or their motives. Accordingly, one can distinguish between domestic violence, violence in public spaces, or violence at the workplace, as well as between violence by (intimate) partners, family members, work contacts, authority figures, or strangers. When violence and abuse occur solely because of a woman’s female identity, it is referred to as misogynistic violence or in extreme cases, femicide, which is the intentional killing of women for the sole reason that they are women. The source of domestic violence against women is not always the intimate partner, it can also involve fathers, brothers, or other household members. Nonetheless, intimate partner violence constitutes the overwhelming majority of domestic violence cases against women and serves as basis of the definition provided by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isolation is a fact of life for all women who are battered. For immigrant and refugee women, however, the isolation of abuse is compounded by language and cultural barriers, racism and the fact that many immigrant and refugee women are far from their friends and their extended families. This document provides a very preliminary overview of the needs of immigrant and refugee women who are battered, the range of non-government services available to meet these needs, as well as some of the issues and barriers that challenge those attempting to provide effective services to immigrant and refugee women and their families.

Book excerpt: "In recent years, the international community has increasingly recognized international violence against women (VAW) as a significant human rights and global health issue. VAW, which can include both random acts of violence as well as sustained abuse over time, can be physical, psychological, or sexual in nature. Studies have found that VAW occurs in all geographic regions, countries, cultures, and economic classes, with some research showing that women in developing countries experience higher rates of violence than those in developed countries. Many experts view VAW as a symptom of the historically unequal power relationship between men and women, and argue that over time this imbalance has led to pervasive cultural stereotypes and attitudes that perpetuate a cycle of violence." -- Summary, [i]
