Violence against Women during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Mexico.

This study measured the prevalence of cases of domestic violence against women and some associated factors during the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico. Data were collected through a remote survey during 2020. The sample included 47,819 women aged 15 years and older. Jointpoint regression and logistic regression models were used. The prevalence of violence was 11.5%, which decreased in July and subsequently increased. The associated factors were being unemployed (OR = 2.01; 95%CI 1.89-2.16); being partially and totally quarantined (OR = 1.58; 95%CI 1.43-1.75 and OR = 1.47; 95%CI 1.32-1.63); being a caregiver of children; being a caregiver of elderly and/or suffering from a chronic illness (OR = 1.27; 95%CI 1.19-1.36; OR = 1.42; 95%CI 1.33-1.53; OR = 1.59; 95%CI 1.47-1.73); losing a family member to COVID-19 (OR = 1.26; 95%CI 1.13-1.41); and binge drinking (OR = 1.94; 95%CI 1.78-2.12).

Social Work and Domestic Violence in Croatia Through a Gendered Lens

This article examines the gender-blind perception of the social work profession in Croatia and its relation to domestic violence cases. In the past few years, the media and the public have routinely expressed outrage at social workers for not preventing severe cases of violence against women and children. The shift from state socialism to capitalism in Croatian society has considerably affected the profession of social work and facilitated the defunding and understaffing of the welfare sector. I argue that a more nuanced, gendered approach is needed in demanding prevention work from social work centres (SWC). Most studies on the causes of burnout in social workers have ignored the feminisation of the profession and the gendered implication of their precarious professional position and responsibility to protect and help the most vulnerable members of society. The perceptions of social work by other experts working with cases of domestic violence and social workers themselves are important to comprehend a bigger picture of professional judgment and attributions of blame. In-depth interviews were conducted with experts working with domestic violence, including the police, judges, prosecutors, social workers, feminist NGO coordinators, and women’s shelter workers. The feminisation of social work and systemic undervaluing of care work contribute to the easy targeting of social workers while leaving the patriarchal institutionalisation unexplored. For this reason, I conclude that social workers would benefit from class and gender solidary with their clients to fight patriarchal biases.

Termination of investigation is a discretionary policy of law enforcement with the requirement that if the perpetrator reneges on the peace agreement by repeating the violent crime, it will be directly processed formally (court). Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded that investigators as members of the Police, in principle, have discretionary authority.

COVID-19, mobility restriction, and sexual behavior among a cohort of people of reproductive age: Nigeria.

One of the non-pharmaceutical strategies adopted by various governments to control the spread of COVID-19 is mobility restriction (MR), popularly known as a lockdown. Evidence shows that MR has some unintended consequences, such as increased cases of domestic violence, rape, pornography, sex chats, incest, and other unhealthy sexual behaviors (SBs). The study examined the influence of MR on SB in Owerri via a cross-sectional quantitative approach. A total of 425 interviewees were randomly chosen among people of a reproductive age. Data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate levels of analysis. A significant relationship exists between selected socio-demographic characteristics, such as age and marital status, and the ability of people to cope with sexual abstinence. Results from the logistic regression analysis further illustrated this observation as during MR people were twice as likely to engage in prolific sex chats that could spur other harmful SBs. It is recommended that people should be allowed to determine whether they would like to stay with their partners in subsequent lockdowns, or otherwise, to prevent some of the unpleasant SBs recorded.

The prevalence of officer-involved domestic violence cases in Mongolia: From the perspective of support service providers

ABSTRACT This research empirically explores the pattern and prevalence of officer-involved domestic violence associated with the enforcement of the currently amended Law to Combat Domestic Violence in Mongolia. After a thematic analysis of seven semi-structured interviews with service providers in Mongolian national human rights and non-government organizations, three main themes emerged regarding the relationship between officer-involved domestic violence and the legal enforcement processes of criminalizing domestic violence: (a) officer-involved domestic violence is more prevalent than domestic violence committed by the general population in Mongolia, (b) law enforcement poorly implements the domestic violence law, and (c) officer-involved domestic violence is an intersectional issue exemplifying one of the biggest oppressions to deal with. I argue the bidirectional nature of this relationship: Not only do law enforcement officers’ attitudes contribute to the poor implementation of domestic violence law, but police supervisors contribute to the unsuccessful criminalization of domestic violence by justifying their intimate partner violence under the name of police reputation, maintaining a code of silence in the militarized police culture, and weakening the criminal justice system.

Divorcing Husbands as a Solution to Protect Women’s Dignity: A Case Study of Domestic Violence at Madura Religious Court

This present study is concerned with the domestic violence settlements in divorce cases at religious courts. The study aimed to investigate the underlying reasons behind filing a divorce to religious courts, the women’s position in the trial process, and the women’s access to justice, as well as the women’s acceptance of the decisions of domestic violence cases. This case study collected the primary data through documents and interviews. The documents were court decisions concerning domestic violence, and the interviewees consisted of judges and domestic violence victims. The findings of the study found that resolving domestic violence through a judicial divorce in a religious court has been more practical and less complicated, which only involves limited parties, with an aim to preserve the family’s reputation (marwah) and children’s psychology. Further, women have the same legal standing as their husbands during the trial process, but this does not guarantee post-divorce justice because the husbands rarely attend court hearings (i.e., verstek decision). Women, the victims of domestic violence who resolve the violence through a divorce, accept the decision of the panel of judges even though the judges only grant the primary lawsuit to terminate the marriage bond. For these women, the decision is seen as a solution that can break the chain of violence and tyrannical behavior of their husbands. The urge to be immediately free of the snares of violence causes them to overlook the various risks of divorce, such as becoming widows and bearing all of the obligations that are not theirs, e.g., caring for and fulfilling all of their children’s needs on their own.

Practice of bringing to criminal liability on Article 126-1 of Criminal Code and ways of increasing its efficiency

In connection with the ratification of the Convention of the Council of Europe on the prevention of violence against women and domestic violence and the fight against these phenomena (Istanbul Convention), the issue of the practice of prosecution under Art. 126-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The article notes that the problem of combating domestic violence constantly attracts the attention of not only forensic scientists, but also judges, lawyers, and human rights defenders.
 Statistical data on the number of cases of domestic violence were considered. It is emphasized that when interpreting the concept of "criminal offenses related to domestic violence", referring to them only Art. 126-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is not entirely correct and correct, since the concept of "domestic violence" enshrined in the Council of Europe Convention on the prevention of violence against women and domestic violence and the fight against these phenomena and the Law of Ukraine of December 7, 2017 No. 2229-VIII "On prevention and combating domestic violence" is broader than the law of Ukraine on criminal liability.
 The existing approaches to the interpretation of such a mandatory feature of the composition of a criminal offense as "systematic perpetration of physical, psychological or economic violence" were studied and the lack of unity in judicial practice regarding its interpretation was noted. Attention is focused on the decision of the Supreme Court dated February 25, 2021 in case No. 583/3295/19, where its interpretation is given and problematic issues of the use of this decision by the courts are considered. A conclusion was drawn on the need to generalize judicial practice (as of November 6, 2022 – the total number of verdicts in the first instance is 2,137) and to take into account the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights in this category of cases when sentencing.
