Book excerpt: In our 20 years of campaigning to change the laws in 50 states, women often called to report their neglect by local agencies.

Wife Rape deepens our understanding of the devastating experience of marital rape. Further, the study illuminates the problems practitioners and activists face as they confront wife rape. Bergen′s important study promises to reopen the topic of wife rape. This book should be read by everyone involved in domestic violence research and intervention!" --Kersti Yllö, Ph.D., Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Wheaton College, Massachusetts Attending to a subject long-neglected by research and popular spheres, author Raquel Kennedy Bergen addresses the deep pain and humiliation of sexual assault suffered by countless numbers of women at the hands of their partners.

Download or read book Lost Tycoon written by Harry Hurt, 3rd and published by . This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lost Tycoon presents an unvarnished, in-depth portrayal of the man who vows to "Make America Great Again." Although it was first published in 1993, Lost Tycoon shows us that The Donald's personal character, political philosophy, business ethics, and attitude towards women haven't changed much in the past two decades.Trump is a man of many lives, and many wives. He is arguably the greatest self-promoter in the annals of American business. After inheriting a fortune, he made and lost billions in real estate and casino gambling, rising phoenix-like from his own ashes. He is a reality television show star, a father, a grandfather, and an alleged rapist. In Hollywood terms, he has literally been the producer and director of his own biopic--a real life "Citizen Kane," whose father hammered the same lines into his head when was a little boy: "You are a killer . . . you are a king . . . you are a killer . . .you are a king."Harry Hurt has created a cinema verité-style narrative that allows the words and actions of the principals to speak for themselves. It is indisputable that Donald's exploits in business, entertainment, and politics prove that he is--to borrow a metaphor from Fred Trump Sr.--"a killer." Reading this important biography about the real Donald Trump will help you to make an informed and engaged choice as to whether he is worthy of being "king."

Download or read book Marital Rape written by Kersti Yllö and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rape in marriage is a global problem affecting millions of women -- it is still legal in many countries and was only criminalized in all U.S. states in 1993. In much of the world, marital rape is too often understood as an oxymoron due to the fact that the ideology of permanent consent underlies the legal and cultural definitions of sex in marriage. From Vietnam to Guatemala to South Africa and beyond, this volume examines how cultural, legal, public health, and human rights policies and practices impact intimate partner violence. While legal and cultural conceptions of marital rape vary widely -- from criminal assault to wifely duty -- this volume offers evidence from different societies that forced sex undermines the physical and psychological well-being of the women who experience it, regardless of their cultural context. Globally, the nature of marriage is changing and so are notions of individual choice, love, intimacy, and rigid gender roles. Marital Rape documents wide ranging and fluid understandings of sex, consent, and rape in marriage; such an array of perspectives demands an international and interdisciplinary approach to the study of sex and gender-based violence. This text brings together an international group of scholars from the fields of anthropology, sociology, criminology, law, public health, and human rights; their work points to the importance of understanding the lived experience of sexual violence for the design of effective and culturally sensitive public policy and practice.

This book was released on 2024-01-18 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phrase marital rape not only refers to rape but also indicates how a marriage, where the husband and wife are expected to live together for the rest of their lives and have complete faith in one another, violates one’s right to life and dignity. Our culture has been raging about how a wife should keep her husband happy to discourage him from looking for or engaging in other illicit relationships with women since the beginning. But if he does, our culture suddenly rises up to defend the husband’s actions. By criticizing women for failing to give males the caring, love, attention, mental, emotional, and particularly physical support they need. Among the most horrifying crimes is Marital rape a crime that is committed not only in India but across the entire world. Marital rape is not a lesser crime than rape or we can address it as a subtype of rape. Married women are in most of the cases the greatest victims of marital rape. One of the biggest threats to India’s gender justice system is posed by it. It is one of those societal illnesses that has been in India since ancient times and still has a negative impact on society. Indian society has never had a bad attitude about marital rape. It is rarely opposed by anyone in Indian society for a variety of reasons. The Indian legislative position is similar in this regard. In order to ensure the security, the Indian Constitution has given the Indian government the most arduous task of creating legislation. The security of the country’s overall prosperity in this context is given into the hands of the legislature which is however, is not particularly interested in ending marital rape which it very evident because they tend to delineate an extremely casual approach when it comes to marital rape. Although the Indian judiciary expresses some hope in this regard, it is limited by the fact that the legislature, not the court, is solely in charge of passing laws. There are no effective laws in India yet that will prevent marital rape. Whatever regulations exist in India, they are insufficient to stop a horrible crime like marital rape. India needs to enact some strict legislation to stop marital rape.

Download or read book Acquaintance and Date Rape written by Jennifer Dziuba-Leatherman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1994-09-29 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This annotated bibliography reviews scholarly work on acquaintance and date rape published in recent years. Acquaintance rape research has grown significantly since the mid-1980s, and it is often argued that acquaintance rape is a common occurrence, especially on college campuses. It is also argued that this type of sexual assault is very different from stranger rape, principally because of the socially defined and accepted nature of the relationship between the victim and the perpetrator. Works specifically on acquaintance or date rape are included, as well as earlier works that led to the emergence of the separate conceptual category of acquaintance rape. Each work is summarized, and the annotation includes a statement of the purpose, the method, and the major findings of the work. Separate chapters are devoted to the incidence of acquaintance rape; its social correlates; and its causes, effects, treatment, and prevention.
