Behind Closed Doors: The Persistence of Domestic Violence in Contemporary Indian Society

Introduction: Domestic abuse is a significant contributor to the nation's misdemeanor index, with destructive behavior in personal relationships where one person attempts to exert control and influence over another. This can occur in dating, marriage, or conjugal relationships and can lead to physical, psychological, or sexual harm. This work aims to explain the underlying reasons for domestic violence, which include various factors such as individual, relational, community, legal, and governmental elements. These components contribute to domestic abuse and its effects on the victim's emotional and physical well-being in daily life. The report also discusses the different forms of domestic violence, including physical, emotional, mental, sexual, economic, and teasing abuse. Objective: To assess domestic violence and its relation to human rights. Methods: The study was conducted in selected areas of Noida, Uttar Pradesh by two data collectors. A total of 60 women were selected using a convenience sampling technique. The questionnaires were checked for completeness, cleaned manually, and entered into SPSS version 25.0 for further analysis. Descriptive statistics were carried out, and associations between dependent and independent variables were checked. Results: The majority of the women (34 or 56.6%) experienced moderate domestic violence, 16 (26.6%) experienced severe domestic violence, and 10 (16.7%) experienced mild domestic violence. The education status of the women was found to be significantly associated with the level of domestic violence, with a p-value of less than 0.05. Conclusion: Urgent action is required to strengthen efforts to reduce violence and improve the availability of information on domestic abuse cases. These statistics are crucial for effectively combating domestic violence against women in India.

Efforts to Increase Legal Awareness on Violent Behavior by Ende Residents in Surabaya City

The legal system which is based on and inspired by the philosophical values of Pancasila, aims to improve the legal system in Indonesia. That is able to protect its citizens from all actions or behaviors that are contrary to humanity and justice. Therefore, Indonesian law contains elements of protecting implementing order, justice, and especially non-discrimination, especially from gender. The law creates a dignified society, which humanizes humans, upholds human values. The norms that live in society, become a basis for the formation of a rule. But the customs and habits that exist in ethnic groups in Indonesia have their own character. Violence cannot be identified in a particular society, but all humans can have a hard character. However, the existence of a belis or dowry, seems to give legitimacy that women have been bought. Therefore, through this community service activity, it focuses focuses on efforts to increase awereness of the law in the hope of minimizing the habit of violent behavior in the nomad community from Ende in the Surabaya city. This effort to increase awereness of the law is carried out through legal assistance regarding domestic violence in the Ende nomad community in Surabaya City. The assistance of representatives of Ende residents in Surabaya related to Law Number 23 of 2004 concerning Domestic Violence needs to be carried out intensively and massively. There is a decrease in the level of domestic violence in the families of Ende nomads in Surabaya.

Domestic Violence Against Women During the COVID-19 Pandemic and Its Relationship to Demographic and Family Factors: A Cross-Sectional Study in Iran.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have witnessed increased complaints from third parties about violent conditions through social media. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of domestic violence (DV) against women following exposure to the COVID-19 pandemic and its relevance to some related factors. This study was conducted from July 2020 to May 2021 on married women of Babol, Iran. Eligible women entered into the study in a multi-stage cluster random sampling method. Data collection tools included demographic and family data, questionnaire HITS (Hurt, Insult, Threaten and Scream). Relationships were estimated using the Univariate and multivariate regression models. Results: The mean age of 488 women and their spouses was 34.62 ± 9.14 and 38.74 ± 9.07, respectively. Of the total female participants, 37 (7.6%), 68 (13.9%), and 21 (4.3%) were victims of total violence, verbal abuse, and physical violence, respectively. Ninety-five women (19.5) had a history of coronavirus infection. Women who were satisfied with their income and husbands were university educated, their chances of DV were reduced by 72% (95% CI (0.09-0.85), OR = 0.28) and 67% (95% CI (0.11-0.92), OR = 0.33) respectively. Drug abuse by husbands increased the likelihood of DV by up to 4 times (OR = 4.00), and more contact with their husbands at home due to home quarantine was more than twice as likely to have DV (OR = 2.64). Conclusion: Since the level of domestic violence was lower than before the coronavirus pandemic, it seems that most Iranian women were more under the support of their husbands during the coronavirus pandemic to endure the fear and panic caused by the pandemic. Women whose husbands had a university education and sufficient income had less domestic violence.

Kadına Yönelik Aile İçi Şiddet ve Depresyon Arasındaki İlişki

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the relationship between depression and domestic violence toward women. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out with 464 married women. A Descriptive Information Form, the Domestic Violence Scale and Beck Depression Inventory were used as the data collection instruments. In the statistical analysis, frequencies, percentages, means, ANOVA, t-test, correlation analysis and regression analysis were utilized. Results: It was determined that the mean score for domestic violence of women was 42,58±15,96 and the mean score for depression was 10,32±8,92. There was a positive and significant relationship between domestic violence and depression (p=0.000). Factors such as the age of the woman and her spouse, status of being subjected to violence, employment status, educational level and form of marriage were determined as factors that were effective on domestic violence and depression. Conclusions: It was determined that the level of domestic violence and depression levels of women were mild. In line with this result, it is necessary to create social policies regarding the problem of violence, develop awareness among healthcare professionals, and healthcare professionals need to take responsibility regarding violence in their professional lives.

THE EFFECT OF SUPPORTIVE COUNSELING WITH ACUPRESSURE ON NAUSEA AND VOMITING IN PREGNANT WOMEN REFERRING TO HEALTH CENTERS IN HAMADAN, IRAN: A RANDOMIZED DOUBLE BLIND CONTROLLED TRIAL STUDY

Objective: To measure the effect of supportive counseling and acupressure on P6 point on nausea and vomiting. Methodology: This study is a randomized clinical trial with two groups. And has been done in the health clinic centers of Hamadan, Iran, in 2020. A total of 60 pregnant women were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 received three face-to-face support counseling sessions by a midwife, one session every week, and continuous follow-ups by phone or online, using a 24-hour P6 acupressure wristband for fourteen days, and group 2 had the same number of sessions with using a placebo wristband. The severity of nausea and vomiting was assessed based on PUQE-24 questionnaire item for 17 days. Results: The mean age of pregnant women in two groups were 28.10 (5.13) and 27.93 (14.71) respectively. Nausea exacerbating variables and level of spouse information about pregnancy, appropriate verbal, sexual and emotional communication with spouse, level of domestic violence, level of information about nausea reduction methods in both groups were homogeneous (p>0.05). There was a decreasing trend in the mean scores of ques­tions 1(duration of nausea or stomach problems), 2 (number of vomiting times during the day) and 3 (number of retching per day) after the intervention (p<0.001). But the trend of decreasing scores in the first group was more than the second group. Although there was no significant difference (p>0.05). Conclusion: Based on the findings, acupressure on P6 combined with supportive counseling is indicated to min­imize vomiting and nausea during pregnancy.

Domestic Violence During the Corona Pandemic: A Comparison of Pre-Pandemic and Pandemic Incidents of Domestic Violence in the Netherlands.

There is a widespread fear that the measures as a consequence of the worldwide corona pandemic have led to a significant increase in domestic violence and child abuse. The current study uses criminal files from all incidents of domestic violence that were reported to the police in a relatively large city in the Netherlands during 3.5 months before the pandemic and the first 3.5 months from the start of the nationwide shutdown, to compare the characteristics of the incident, the suspect and victim, how the case was handled and the involvement of minors. Results show that levels of domestic violence during the Covid-19-related restrictions did not increase compared to before the pandemic. During the pandemic, suspects were relatively more often men, the violence was less often reciprocal, more often took place inside the homes of suspects and victims, and was more often reported to the police by a witness than before the pandemic. Before and during the pandemic, minors were involved in respectively 34% and 43% of the incidents, mainly as witnesses of the violence between their parents. The results of the study may ease the concerns about the potential threat of domestic violence levels going through the roof during isolating measures such as during a shutdown. Limitations of the study are that official data from a single, but large, city were used and that we were not able to control for seasonal effects.

Хто в Україні потерпає від гендерного насильства? Домашнє насильство під час війни та глобальної пандемії

Research has shown that the risk for violent victimisation, including various forms of abuse and sexual violence, is high among individuals forced to leave their homes due to wars, humanitarian emergencies, and violent conflicts. Unfortunately, little is known about such critical issue as domestic violence within the home, as most research on humanitarian crises covers violence outside the home. Given that the home remains one of the most dangerous places for vulnerable individuals during wartime, it is crucial to address who is most vulnerable to becoming a victim of domestic violence in current war-torn societies such as Ukraine. Further, it is imperative to understand the characteristics of domestic violence at the “intersection” of war and a global pandemic. We use primary, self-reported survey data from an international research project entitled “A Cross-National Study of the Global Pandemic, Deviance and Health” to provide a snapshot of domestic violence in the current Ukrainian society and analyse the characteristics of self-reported domestic violence, both psychological and physical, which has been taking place during the Russian invasion of Ukraine and a global pandemic. Specifically, this study addresses the following research questions: What are the levels of domestic violence (both physical and psychological abuse) when it happens at the time of “intersection” between war and a pandemic? Who is the most likely to become a victim of domestic violence in this unique situation? Results from logistic regression models reveal that, compared to single individuals in Ukraine, people who cohabitate with their partners are at a higher risk of psychological abuse, while being married emerges as a “protective” factor against physical abuse. Additionally, having a higher SES significantly reduces the risk of psychological abuse from an intimate partner. Notably, in contrast with prior research, our results show that men’s odds of experiencing physical abuse are higher. Explanations for these unique findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.

COVID-19, Violent Crime, and Domestic Violence: An Exploratory Analysis

As the world continues to struggle with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been much speculation on the impact of the virus on crime rates, especially violent crime and domestic violence. Disruptions in the patterns of daily, routine activities of life caused by lockdowns have been linked to changes in opportunities for criminal events, and these opportunities may vary based on the type of crime. The purpose of this paper is to examine the rates of violent interpersonal crime and domestic violence in the State of Florida, USA from 1/1/2020 to 12/31/2020. Using counties as the unit of analysis, the rates for selected violent crimes was predicted based on the differential impact of the COVID-19 virus, controlling for various county-level social vulnerability and health-related factors. Comparisons between violent crime levels in 2019 and 2020 were also made. Under opportunity theory, it was predicted that the level of domestic violence would increase in counties that experienced higher infection rates and deaths from COVID-19. Conversely, it was predicted that interpersonal violence would decrease in counties with greater impacts and restrictions due to the COVID-19 virus. The results suggest that as the COVID-19 death rate increased, incidents of domestic violence decreased. Altruism was proposed as an alternative explanation for this atypical finding.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s43576-022-00049-y.

The Role of Public Authorities in Combating Gender-Based Violence

The objective of the research was to identify the factors that contribute to the increase in rates of gender-based violence and to clarify the role of the authorities in the fight against this problem. To achieve this objective, the following methods were used: statistical analysis, hypothetical-deductive model, factor analysis, generalization and analogy and correlation analysis. It was found that there is a negative relationship between the level of violence against women and the economic situation, the level of gender inequality, the level of development of social norms and the level of gender development (only for violence against women who are not intimate partners). A positive relationship between the level of gender development and the level of domestic violence was demonstrated. Factors that directly negatively affected rates of gender-based violence were identified: cultural, traditional, religious beliefs about the status of women in society; authorities' restrictions on the rights of individuals associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The authorities' tools to counter gender-based violence were identified. The perspective of further research is the identification of the social and legal aspects of this global phenomenon.

RESTRAINING ORDER IN THE ROMANIAN LEGISLATION AND PRACTICE

The protection of the family (especially women and children) consists of important provision in both the international and internal laws of the states. Unfortunately, in Romania, the incidence of domestic violence is high, an aspect that we will highlight in our paper. In this article we aim to analyse the latest legislative changes in the field of protection order, with reference to the provisional protection order. Regarding the temporary restraining order, it is regulated by Order no. 146/2578/2018 (Minister of Internal Affairs and Minister of Labor and Social Justice, 2018) on how to manage cases of domestic violence by police officers. Through this normative act, the necessary framework was created so that the police can intervene quickly when phenomena of domestic violence are registered and to ensure the immediate protection of the victims of aggressors. The police officers assess the risk situation in each case, and it may be ordered to issue a temporary restraining order until the competent court rules on the situation created for a longer period of up to 6 months, with the possibility of extending it. We will also present some relevant cases. Over the last 10 years, the protection of the family (especially women and children) has made some important progress both in terms of legislation and practice. Unfortunately, the level of domestic violence is still significant and, in addition to the legislative measures we will refer to in the article, more measures are needed to educate the population and raise awareness of the severity of this phenomenon that affects the integrity and physical and mental development of victims.

SOME MODERN PROBLEMS OF COUNTERACTING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Counteracting domestic violence is today one of the most important areas of social development. It is seen not only as a social problem, but primarily as a problem of protecting human rights and, above all, the rights of women, requires the development of appropriate legal means of solving it. When violence is committed in the family, the rights and freedoms of a particular person are violated, and through the capabilities of the aggressor and the victim, the latter’s self-defense is complicated, which requires intervention from the state and society. According to the data provided by the World Health Organization, one in six women has experienced domestic violence. According to the same data, this problem is more acute for economically underdeveloped countries, while women in these countries are more likely to recognize such violence against themselves as justified. Thus, the percentage of women who reported that they had been subjected to violence by their family members at least once in their life varies from 15% in Japan to 71% in Ethiopia. According to other sources, the level of domestic violence against women is about 23% in Sweden, 4% in Japan and Serbia, 30–54% in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Peru and Tanzania. In the United States, a woman suffers from physical violence every 18 minutes. According to statistics, 62% of the murders of women were committed by their husbands. In Peru, 70% of all reported crimes are domestic violence. Sexual violence is widespread – in Canada, New Zealand, the United States and the United Kingdom, every sixth woman has been raped. The adoption of special legislation and its introduction into the practice of the activities of authorized state bodies makes it possible to gradually eradicate these negative social traditions. International information exchange between scientists, law enforcement officials, social workers contributes to the spread of international experience in the Ukrainian legal system. In addition, Ukraine, in the course of the formation of national legislation, studies and adapts the provisions of international human rights standards, including on combating domestic violence.

Khatuns to comrades to capitalists: domestic violence law in modern Mongolia

ABSTRACT Since 1990, Mongolia has encountered serious economic and social problems. The transition from authoritarian socialism to a free-market economy has proven to be difficult and somewhat chaotic. The collapse of the old system of pastoral organization and the closing of many industries has resulted in unemployment, a high level of poverty, and an increase in alcoholism. Women, who had received benefits from the socialist government in the forms of maternal rest homes and child welfare allowances and worked as teachers, doctors, and government officials, faced new burdens. Some of the benefits were rescinded, and fewer women were elected to the Parliament. They also faced a rising level of domestic violence from unemployed male spouses or partners. The government did not enact a Law to Combat Domestic Violence until 2004, and the law proved to be ineffective because it did not criminalize domestic violence and did not train police officers to deal with such abuses. After considerable efforts by several female legislators, a new Domestic Violence Law was enacted in 2017, which criminalized domestic violence and provided training for police officers. However, during the pandemic, cases of domestic violence apparently increased, and it remains to be seen whether the 2017 law will be effective.

Characterisation of pregnant women in a maternity hospital in Brazil who ever suffered domestic violence

Objective: Domestic violence against women is a violation of women's rights and is a public health issue. Knowledge by all society sectors about the clinical and social characteristics of women who suffer violence is fundamental for the development of preventive actions. Methods: Data on clinical, perinatal, and socioeconomic characteristics of women attended in the municipal hospital of São Bernardo do Campo, Brazil, in 2018 and 2019 who reported ever suffering domestic violence collected and compared with to women who denied exposure to violence. Results: Marital status, schooling level, evangelical religion, drug, and tobacco use were more prevalent in women who suffered violence than those who did not. The likelihood of suffering violence was lower among pregnant women who had planned (OR 0.71), desired (OR 0.64), and accepted (0.43) pregnancy compared to those who had not planned, desired, or accepted. The average per capita income of women’s neighbourhoods of origin showed an inverse correlation (R=-0.795) with the number of violence cases. Conclusion: Statistic associations suggest that the historical of having suffered from violence is more prevalent among women who planned, desired, and accepted their pregnancy, in comparison to women who denied exposure to violence. The type of religion, clinical, and social conditions of more significant vulnerability showed different levels of domestic violence.

Consideration of illegal actions when imposing punishment for environmental crime

Both environmental risks and domestic violence exist in all countries of the world. This phenomenon is influenced by various factors: standard of living, ecological situation, environment, traditions, race, nationality and cultural values. This must be taken into account when imposing an appropriate punishment for commission of any illegal act. At the same time, family and domestic violence is not just a negative attribute of life of individual families, but also indicates serious issues of society, in the narrow sense, and the environment, in the broad sense. In connection with restrictions related to Covid-19 introduced in many countries, the level of domestic violence has increased, which proves a direct dependence on external negative factors in the field of health care, ecology, psychology, etc. Analysis of various factors influencing domestic violence has shown that this phenomenon has a high level of latency, and, as a rule, people learn about it only in cases where the consequences of such violence are difficult to hide due to their severity (for example, causing death or serious harm to health against the background of mental deviation). Having reviewed the news feeds over the past five years we can see that the relevance of the topic under consideration is beyond doubt, since the influence of environmental factors on the human psyche is not fully understood, and this aspect, one way or another, leads to the commission of illegal actions, which indicates the importance of balance between the environment, ecology and legality, society. The authors note that there is a synergistic relationship in which humanity interacts with the surrounding world, in all its diversity (water, land, natural resources, flora, fauna, etc.). n addition, some judgments of the European Court of Human Rights on environmental problems and the environment, protection from domestic violence, including with the participation of Russian Federation as a defendant, were considered. Based on the analysis of the decisions expressed, as well as the norms of national legislation, a theoretical justification for changing the national criminal and environmental legislation, in terms of imposition of punishment, is formulated.

Women-Centered Rituals and Levels of Domestic Violence

Prior research indicates that ritual can be a source of social solidarity by signaling trustworthiness and group commitment. A separate line of research expects domestic violence against women to be more common in societies with post-marital residence at the husband’s birthplace (i.e. patrilocality). Thus, we hypothesized that when wives are able to construct strong bonds with the female members of their communities through solidarity-building rituals, they gain social support capable of inhibiting violence, leading to lower overall levels of domestic violence--especially in patrilocal societies. Results indicated that certain types of women-centered rituals were associated with lower levels of sexual and domestic violence; however, we found inconsistent effects according to patrilocal residence. Women-centered rituals were not found to be associated with beliefs about the husband’s prerogative to punish and dominate his spouse, and patrilocality did not contribute to the effects we found.

Asertividad una forma de prevención de riesgo de violencia en la Parroquia de Santa Rosa de la Provincia de Tungurahua

En los últimos años el nivel de violencia intrafamiliar en el Ecuador ha aumentado significativamente, pese a esta circunstancia las estrategias de prevención de riesgo de esta problemática no responden con la misma eficacia. En la ciudad de Ambato durante el 2017 el Hospital General Docente Ambato atendió hasta la fecha 1242 casos de violencia física y 165 de agresión sexual. El objetivo de la investigación es determinar el tipo de asertividad que presenta la población de estudio en relación con el nivel de riesgo de violencia generado dentro del entorno familiar en la Parroquia Santa Rosa de la Provincia de Tungurahua, la metodología aplicada fue descriptiva con corte transversal con diseño investigativo de acción participativa, la población de estudio fue de 1518 personas en las cuales se aplicó la escala multidimensional de asertividad (EMA) y la de valoración de riesgo en su acrónimo inglés Spouse Abuse Risk Assessment (SARA), se aplicó estadística descriptiva e inferencial utilizando métodos de asociación a través de Odd Ratio (OR). Los resultados se tiene que las personas que presentan mayor nivel de riesgo de sufrir violencia son quienes no son asertivos y tienen asertividad indirecta; mientras que aquellas personas que son asertivas corren menos riesgo de ser víctimas de violencia. Como conclusión se establece que la violencia aqueja a todo tipo de población, no estima ningún tipo de condición, pero es un elemento fundamental el componente sicológico de cada individuo, por lo que es necesario realizar un trabajo de concientización sobre el tema.

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Domestic Violence-Psychological Consequences, the Legal Framework and its Treatment in the Republic of North Macedonia

Abstract In this paper the authors present the psychological consequences of social isolation on domestic violence during the Covid-19 pandemic as well as the legal framework in the RNM on addressing the phenomenon of domestic violence. In this age of globalization and drive for material conformity, family life is quite difficult to cope with. This “war” for material comfort during the pandemic, has strained and stressed many families as a result of the created circumstances. Public safety measures, including physical distance and social isolation, which have also been implemented in the RNM have contributed in making family problems even more pronounced. Social distance and staying at home are very effective in reducing the transmission of Covid-19 virus, but these safeguards disrupt the routines of spouses and families. Domestic violence affects a large number of families, and it is estimated that in times of social isolation, all forms of violence have been inflicted against family members regardless of their gender and age. The most common forms of domestic violence during Covid-19 pandemic in our country are psychological, physical and economic violence. Some countries affected by Covid-19 have seen increases in levels of domestic violence, including violence against children, violence against partners, and violence against the elderly. This paper presents the results of research conducted which highlight the fact that during the Covid-19 pandemic, there has been an increase in levels of domestic violence in the Republic of North Macedonia in the first six months of 2020. The authors give their recommendations on the need for action by state institutions during the Covid-19 pandemic in order to adapt methods and circumstances towards the protection of victims of domestic violence.

Challenging the links between microfinance and domestic violence: evidence from rural India

ABSTRACT The impact of microfinance on domestic violence has been widely discussed, but there is still no consensus due to the fact that context and programme implementation mechanisms have a large effect on outcomes. An innovative grassroots microfinance organisation in India, Rojiroti, has a number of unique features which make a positive impact on domestic violence more likely. Using a quasi-experimental design with panel data and matched control sites, this article reports on a study that found a significant reduction in levels of domestic violence among women members of Rojiroti, alongside a significant increase in asset ownership and knowledge of household finances.

Empirical Analysis on Potential Risk Factors for Domestic Violence against Women in Ethiopia

Domestic violence against women persists to be a major challenge and a threat to women’s empowerment in Ethiopia, while Ethiopia is among the countries which have legal and policy provisions to enhance the rights of women. This study was held based on data obtained from 2016 Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey. The objective of the study was to indicate the level of domestic violence across categories of various socio-demographic variables and identify major risk factors associated with domestic violence against women in Ethiopia. Descriptive analysis result showed that out of 2663 sampled women involved in the study about 765(28.5%) were experienced domestic violence perpetrate by current husband or partner. A total of 191(25%) women were experienced emotional violence only, 143(18.7%) were experienced physical violence only, 37(4.8%) were experienced sexual violence only and about 394(51.5%) women were experienced more than one form of violence perpetrated by current husband or partner. The multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that husband’s or partner’s education level, sex composition of living child, alcohol consumption, wealth index and region had statistically significant (P<0.05) effect on domestic violence against women. The results of my investigation have demonstrated that higher educational level and better economic status have been identified as protective factors against domestic violence. Domestic violence against women could be mitigated through enhancing access to better education, encouraging school completion, improving the economic status of women and organizing public educational campaigns that focus on changing gender related attitudes.
