Security from above and below: A critical ethnography of the health response to violence against women in Timor-Leste.

International advocacy and evidence have been critical for shifting the pervasive issue of violence against women onto the health agenda. Guidelines and training packages, however, can be underpinned by Western principles of responding to individual survivors of violence and availability of specialist referral services, which may not be available in many countries. As Timor-Leste and other nations begin to build their health system response to violence against women, it is important to understand the current practices of health providers and the broader sociocultural context of providing care to survivors of violence. During 11 months in the field (February-December 2016), we conducted qualitative interviews with 48 midwives and community leaders in three municipalities in Timor-Leste. The findings reveal that midwives engage at both the individual and collective levels, providing medical care, advice and moral support to survivors of violence as well as gathering support for women within families and communities. Midwives therefore navigate both formal and informal spaces as they respond to domestic and sexual violence. In doing so, they are influenced by their own experiences as women, as health providers imbued with authoritative knowledge, and as part of the wider sociocultural system. We argue that while much progress has been made in frameworks for health systems responding to survivors of violence, more work needs to be done to understand how to support health providers in low- and middle-income countries as they engage with perpetrators, families and communities. There is a need for further discussion of how health systems can address the issue of domestic and sexual violence as a collective social problem, while foregrounding the needs and rights of those experiencing violence. This research has implications for the content of guidelines and training, and importantly, for developing mechanisms to deal with complex social issues within local health services.

Exploring the Significance of Some Cultural and Religious Factors in Domestic Violence among Muslim Immigrant Australians

This is a largely qualitative research study that explores the issue of domestic violence (DV), particularly against Australian Muslim immigrant women. It uses a sectionality approach to focus on the closely linked factors of culture and religion that may engender DV. As patriarchy is a cultural risk factor for DV, a semiquantitative approach was taken by identifying the regions where the immigrants originated. Furthermore, it was found that Islamicallydiscordant patriarchal interpretations of the Quran and Sunnah employed by influential late classical scholars based in eastern Muslim lands has affected tafsir and legal rulings, especially of non-Maliki madhhabs. The ‘sticking point’ of physically striking women in verse 4:34 is potentially resolved as a provision for safeguarding wives in conflict zones. This research also supports the call for reforms by scholars in Qur’anic exegetical readings and fiqhi rulings on family law. Finally, this study recommends several policy recommendations enlightened with the understanding that Islam supports a compassionate and egalitarian view of marriage.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN GEORGE BERNARD SHAW’S CANDIDA

The aim of the paper alleges on domestic violence in George Bernard Shaw’s Candida. Domestic violence is the focal concept in literature. It concerns about violence, especially those who are having problems inside the family. The issue of domestic violence abbreviates on the problems inside the family. George Bernard Shaw is the vitalized writer. His famous work Candida is about the couple James Morell and Candida. James is a Christian socialist clergyman, and Candida is very young and housewife. When the character Eugene Marchbanks enters into their home, and their family is in the state of confusion. So, this paper abbreviates the character Eugene Marchbanks under the issue of domestic violence. The famous domestic violence theorists are Nicole Westmarland, John Hamel, Tonia Nicholls, Elizabeth Kandel Englander, Amartya Sen and Martin Bidder. Countable articles are published under the title of domestic violence and analyze domestic violence theorist’s theory by various authors. The issue of domestic violence in Candida is analyzed by using the theories related to violence. The incidents are discussed and compared with other studies. Finally, the concept of domestic violence contributes to the work of Bernard Shaw through the character of Eugene Marchbanks because of his activity in the family of Morell. Eugene creates many problems in Morell’s family.

A critical interpretive synthesis of the intersection of domestic violence with parental issues of mental health and substance misuse.

A critical interpretive synthesis (CIS) methodology was used with the aim of informing practice with children and families when domestic and family violence (DFV) and parental issues relating to alcohol and other drugs (AOD) and mental health (MH) are also present. A CIS is grounded in the literature, but includes questioning of the literature in order to problematise gaps, contradictions and constructions of issues. A review of the literature from 2010 to 2018 was conducted with the structured search strategy identifying 40 relevant research articles. Synthesis and critique of these articles revealed three mutually informative themes through which to understand the literature and how it can inform practice. They were as follows: differences in theoretical approaches and client focus; complexity of system's collaboration; and practices converging on mothers. Taken together, these themes facilitated the development of the synthesising construct: strengthening intersection between DFV, AOD and MH sectors. Attention to practice at multiple levels that responds to the dynamics of gender and the differing impacts of violence was often lacking, particularly in the context of heightened child protection concerns where collaboration between sectors is needed. Both promising and problematic practices relating to gender dynamics and accountability converged on mothers. While there were exceptions, generally, there was an absence of engagement with, and recognition of, the impacts of fathers’ patterns of using violence and control on adult and child survivors. Promising practice related to the strengthening of the mother–child relationship and attention to MH and its intersection with domestic violence. Strengthening the intersections between DFV, AOD and MH practices with attention to keeping the perpetrator of violence in view is critical to overcoming the poor practice that can occur when sectors are siloed from each other.

AB InBev, Carling Black Label, and Femicide in South Africa (A)

Alarmed by the recent statistics of violence against women (a woman in South Africa was murdered every four hours, and half of them were killed by their partner or spouse), leaders of the African arm of global beer giant Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) and the South African Breweries (SAB) wanted to address the problem. AB InBev's biggest seller in South Africa was Carling Black Label (Carling), a brand with a traditionally masculine appeal. In considering different options, the company had to consider what obligation it had to ensure responsible consumption and, perhaps, to utilize Carling to challenge the public to recognize and change behaviors. How could the company use brand activism, for example, to effect social change. Should they consider other issues? In short, what role could AB InBev play in taking action against domestic violence? Should it provide funding, create partnerships with the government or nongovernmental organizations, or develop some sort of initiative? Excerpt UVA-E-0425 Rev. Nov. 15, 2019 AB InBev, Carling Black Label, and Femicide in South Africa (A) Andrea Quaye, vice president of marketing at the African arm of global beer giant Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) and the South African Breweries (SAB), was alarmed by the 2015 statistics. South African society had struggled for years with domestic violence issues, but in recent years, the incidents of femicide—the killing of women and girls by their husbands, partners, or family members—in South Africa was four times greater than the global average. The newspapers had been full of lurid stories. Earlier in the year, a Johannesburg woman, Karabo Mokoena, had been killed by her ex-lover, but she was only one of many victims whose stories appeared frequently in the media. Many factors were blamed for these murders, including general lawlessness, easily available guns, low self-esteem on the part of many South African men, and alcohol misuse. ABInBev's biggest seller in South Africa was Carling Black Label (Carling), a brand with a traditionally masculine appeal. With its high visibility, Carling might be the entry point, whether via a targeted campaign or other endeavor, for addressing the violence. Quaye and her team needed to determine what role, if any, ABInBev and Carling should play in addressing this social ill. There was pressure on companies both in South Africa and internationally to respond to this and other social issues. Where exactly did AB InBev's responsibility lie, and how could the company best utilize its resources, financial or other, to ameliorate the drastic situation? . . .

Development of Physical Injury Assessment Tool for Victims of Domestic Violence (PIAT-DV) based on Forensics: Using a Delphi Method

가정폭력 현장에서 피해자의 신체손상에 대한 초기 사정도구를 개발하기 위하여 법의학자, 법의간호사, 응급실 의사, 변호사, 경찰관 등 가정폭력 전문가 26명을 전문가 패널로 선정하여 3회의 델파이조사를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 켄달의 일치계수 분석 및 내용타당도 비율(CVR)을 통해 분석하였다. 첫 번째 델파이 조사 후, 신체손상 사정내용은 2영역 6범주 53문항으로 분류되었다. 두 번째 델파이 조사 후에는 켄달의 일치계수 분석과 가중치 순위를 통해 37개의 문항이 선택되었다. 마지막 세 번째 조사 후, CVR 분석을 통하여 33개의 문항이 선택되었고 기타 1문항이 추가되었다. 신체손상사정영역은 현 폭력행위 4문항, 폭력의 행태 4문항 및 증상 12문항으로 구성되었다. 사정 시 주의사항 영역은 관찰 3문항, 청취 3문항, 기록 8문항으로 구성되었다. 가정폭력 발생 시 피해자를 보호하기 위해 신체손상의 조기발견은 매우 중요하며, 발생현장에서 경찰은 피해자의 신체손상을 반드시 사정하는 것이 필요하다. 개발된 가정폭력 피해자의 신체손상 사정도구(PIAT-DV)가 피해자의 신체손상을 사정하는 데 도움이 되기를 바란다.To develop an initial assessment tool for the victim’s physical injury in the field of domestic violence, Delphi methodology was used for 26 experts of domestic violence in forensic pathologists, forensic nurses, ER doctors, lawyers, police officers. Three round of Delphi surveys were analyzed using Kendall’s W analysis and CVR. After the first Delphi round, Physical injury assessment contents were classified with 2 domains 6 categories and 53 items. And then 37 items were selected from Kendall’s W analysis, weight score in the second Delphi round. In the third Delphi round, 33 items were selected based on CVR of each item and added 1 open question. Physical injury assessment consisted of 4 items of current acts of violence, 4 items of pattern of violence, and 12 items of symptom. Precautions of assessing consisted of 3 items of observation, 3 items of listening, and 8 items of recording. Early detection of physical injury is very important for victim protection in addressing domestic violence issues. At the scene of domestic violence, the police need to accurately assess the victim’s physical injury. We hope that developed PIAT-DV will help assess the victim’s physical injury.

(The extent of legal protection against domestic violence in Iraq and Arab countries (Legal Study: مدى الحماية القانونية من العنف الأسري في العراق والدول العربية (دراسة قانونية)

Family violence is the actual use of force or threat to harm, harm people, and damage property. It is an act that exaggerates aggressive or hostile behavior that results in disturbing or destructive effects that cause psychological or physical harm to people. Others threaten or injure them or attempt to inflict such harm. The Islamic thinkers have dealt with the issue of domestic violence since the beginning of the cradle of Islam, as it was mentioned in one of the hadiths: "Allah is a companion who loves kindness and gives mercy to those who give to violence." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) Nor curse) and also saying (peace be upon him) (from the horrors of the Muslim magnificence of God on the Day of Resurrection) and forbade the Prophet to refer the Muslim Muslim brother of the ugliest qualities. Family violence is linked to social ties in the center in which there are, however, its manifestations and forms have evolved and varied in many ways, including: 1. Violence against women 2. Domestic violence against children 3. Domestic violence against the elderly. Violence, as defined by laws and constitutions at the founding of the modern state, has taken its official form since the beginning of the 19th century. It has been defined as a phenomenon designed to disrupt the structure of an existing society, thus threatening the system of rights and duties. Therefore, we will address this issue in three sections I on the concept of domestic violence and the second on the causes and types of domestic violence and the third on the laws of protection against domestic violence in the Arab countries.

PENCEGAHAN KEKERASAN DALAM RUMAH TANGGA (KDRT) MELALUI KONSEP HAK DAN KEWAJIBAN SUAMI ISTERI DALAM ISLAM

Domestic violence is a disease in people's lives and is the responsibility of the government to handle it. The PKDRT Law was issued to deal with domestic violence issues, but in reality the PKDRT Law has not been able to resolve this problem completely. What is the cause of domestic violence in the community is apparently caused by the character of the community and this character is strongly influenced by the perception of husband and wife about the rights and obligations of husband and wife in navigating the household. The cause of domestic violence is more because they feel each party feels they have rights that must be fulfilled by the other party, while the other party may feel it is not their obligation. This happens because in understanding rights and obligations there is diversity so that it causes disagreement that can lead to disputes and violence. Religion is a guide to human life, about the rights and obligations of husband and wife already have concepts in fiqh

Analysis of suicidal patients admitted to the emergency rooms and their intensive care requirements: A double-center study in Turkey

Objective: In the present study, the clinical and socio-demographic data of the patients who admitted to the emergency department due to suicide attempt, the duration at the emergency department, and hospitalizations are examined. Requirement of intensive care and duration of hospitalization are investigated in the patients with suicide attempt.
 Materials and Methods: Patients who were admitted to the emergency department of the hospitals after suicide attempts between 2015 and 2017 and per 2018 were included in the retrospective study. Reason for suicide, suicide modality, duration between the suicide attempt and arrival to the emergency department, suicide time, first treatment at the emergency department, hospitalization, mortality, and the levels at the intensive care unit (ICU) were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed. Data obtained from the archives of the hospitals. SPSS 25.0 (IBM Corporation, Armonk, New York, United States) program was used to analyze the variables.
 Results: In the present study, 428 patients were included. Ratio of the female to male patients was 319/109. The mean age of the patients was 29.18±10.48. 205 patients were single. 136 patients were unemployed. Ninety-four (22.87%) patients were diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder. Four hundred twenty-two (98.59%) of the patients were attempted suicide with drugs/toxics. One hundred ninety-seven patients (49.75%) reported domestic violence and family issues reasons for suicide. Mean duration between the time of suicide and the time to arrive to the emergency department was 100.53±91.82 minutes. One hundred thirty (30.5%) patients were transferred to ICU, and 45 (10.5%) patients were followed in clinical departments. One hundred twenty (92.3%) patients hospitalized in the first-level ICU, 4 (3%) in the second-level ICU, and 6 (4.6%) in the third-level ICU. The mean ICU stay was 2.37±1.48 days.
 Conclusion: The suicide attempts were prominent in acute poisoning cases. Majority of the patients stated domestic violence and family issues as a reason of suicide. They were discharged mostly from the emergency department and 10.5% of the patients were kept under surveillance in the departments. When the suicide attempts were evaluated in terms of their time, they were observed during day time at a higher rate.

Driving Social Change Through Forum Theatre: A Study of Jana Sanskriti in West Bengal, India

This article examines Forum Theatre as a form of participatory communication for social change. Based on an ethnographic study of Jana Sanskriti ( JS), a Forum Theatre group working for over three decades in the eastern Indian state of West Bengal, this article seeks to show how this form of theatre, developed by the Brazilian activist Augusto Boal, subverts the passivity inherent in the communicator–receiver model of the dominant paradigm by activating the critical consciousness of the spectator and triggering a process of social change through dialogue and discussion. JS has been using Forum Theatre to address some of the deeply entrenched social norms in rural West Bengal, including those related to patriarchy, child marriage, domestic violence, and maternal and child health related issues, by extending Boal’s notion of the ‘spect-actor’ to encourage the spectators to become ‘spect-activists’, who then are engaged in community-level work on social change. We suggest that this form of communication is clearly bottom-up, radically participatory, community-based and led by the oppressed, as has been advocated by several scholars working on communication for social change.

A Survey of Black Churches’ Responses to Domestic Violence

A high level of church involvement among African Americans suggests the potential of the Black church in addressing domestic violence. However, very little research has examined this topic. The current study is an exploratory study of how aware African American churches are of victims in their congregation and how they respond to them. The survey was conducted with a convenience sample (N=112) of church pastors and lay leaders, ¾ of whom were senior or associate/assistant pastors, from 9 cities and various denominations. The results showed that these churches may underestimate the number of members who are victims, infrequently address domestic violence from the pulpit, and sometimes provided interventions that are potentially harmful, i.e. couples’ counseling and/or lack of safety risk assessment. Respondents thought that their church’s response to domestic violence could be improved with more training for clergy and more knowledge of domestic violence resources. This paper provides recommendations for Christian Social Workers working with Black churches around issues of domestic violence.

 The results of the study show that in the implementation of Regional Regulation No. 3 of 2016 concerning the Implementation of Protection of Women and Children in Hulu Sungai Utara Regency, it is still not fully implemented. This can be seen where the handling of these cases has not been fully implemented, then people who are victims of domestic violence or the impact of their divorce is not all that they know about the local regulations, so they have not run properly, efficiently and effectively. So that the firmness in handling the case also cannot be implemented because the sanctions are not mentioned and the contents of the policy need to be renewed.
 The suggestions given for input include, among other things, providing a place for counseling and complaints about domestic violence issues, especially for the protection of women and children, there must be attention and support from the Hulu Sungai Utara District Head regarding the issue of funding in terms of supporting treatment women's protection case.

Healthcare Professionals' Perceptions and Concerns towards Domestic Violence during Pregnancy in Southern Italy.

Background: Literature on pregnancy highlighted a large number of women abused by their partners, especially among low-income teenagers attending hospital for pregnancy check-ups. Pregnancy represents a key moment for diagnosing domestic violence. Method: This study explores health professionals’ perceptions and concerns about domestic violence against women in services dealing with pregnant women. The twenty-four interviewees were from an Obstetrical-Gynecological walk-in Clinic in the south of Italy. The textual data has been complementarily analyzed by means of two different procedures: Symbolic-structural semiotic analysis and Thematic content analysis. Results: What emerges is that the interviewees of the clinic do not regard the issue of domestic violence as a matter of direct interest for the health service. The clinic is seen as a place for urgent contact, but one where there is not enough time to dedicate to this kind of patient, nor an adequate space to care for and listen to them. Obstetricians and health personnel expressed a negative attitude when it comes to including questions regarding violence and abuse in pre-natal reports. Training for health and social professionals and the empowering of institutional support and networking practices are needed to increase awareness of the phenomenon among the gynecological personnel.
