Abstract
The issue of violence against women is considered a grave violation of human rights that occurs across race, age, culture, and religion worldwide. It includes any act or conduct that may cause death or physical, psychological, or sexual harm to women – whether in the public or private sphere – that is done solely based on gender. The issue of violence against women has been discussed, debated, lobbied, and fought for in recent decades; and much research on the incidence, reporting, and implications of such violence against women has also been conducted in many regions and countries. These concerted activist efforts led to the first declaration that recognized the need to provide women the rights to equality, security, liberty, integrity, and dignity of all human beings. Even with such global efforts, and despite the existence of laws that punish men who perpetrate violence against women, the problem continues to persist worldwide. Academics thus deem it necessary to determine the underlying causes and motivations for such heinous acts in order to attack the problem at its roots.
Highlights
The question of what constitutes freedom is a highly charged issue that is often dependent on specific cultural In this paper, I will briefly discuss violence against women and phenomenology to describe the context of the study [1]
I will present a brief review of current literature that approached violence against women through hermeneutical phenomenology
Taking a hermeneutical phenomenological approach in understanding the issue of violence against women implies that I am no longer in the Middle East wherein I constantly witnessed violence against women, these experiences have already been ingrained in my consciousness in such a way that I am still able to understand the effects of implications of violence against women despite having distanced myself from further first-hand experiences of such violence
Summary
The question of what constitutes freedom is a highly charged issue that is often dependent on specific cultural In this paper, I will briefly discuss violence against women and phenomenology to describe the context of the study [1]. I will present the phenomenology of violence in general as the foundation of my analysis of this paper, and use the basic theories presented therein in my subsequent analysis of violence against women. I will describe briefly Heidegger’s hermeneutical phenomenology and differentiate it from Husserl’s traditional phenomenology [2]. I will present a brief review of current literature that approached violence against women through hermeneutical phenomenology. I will use the hermeneutical phenomenological approach in analyzing the issue of violence against women – its causes and how it may be prevented
