  • Women's Movements in India
    WOMEN’S MOVEMENTS IN INDIA Introduction In India traditionally the women’s movements were less promoted and less heard of. The traditional society put many limitations on women’s freedom and liberties. Women’s movement in India can be divided into three waves or periods: the first wave saw social reform movements that began in the 19th century and mass mobilization of women in the national movement. After Independence, between 1950 and 1960, we find the growing legitimacy and power of the post- colonial state and various development plans that overpowered the other aspects of society. As a result, there was a lull in the various campaigning and political activities on the part of women. The period from the late 1960s onward can be called the second wave, which saw the resurgence of political activity from women. The very futility of the economic policies by the government that led to growing unemployment and price rise in India led to mass uprising. In the 1960s, women dissatisfied with the status quo joined the struggles of the rural poor and industrial working class. The activities of women during this period included in the Participation in Naxalbari movement, anti-price-rise demonstrations, Navnirman Movement in Gujarat and Bihar, rural revolt in Dhule District in Maharashtra and Chipko . But at the same time, with the splintering of the Indian left by the early 1970, there was a questioning of the earlier analysis of the revolution. The Shahada movement in the Dhulia District of Maharashtra saw an active participation of women who began to take action against physical violence associated with alcoholism.

  • Fawole University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria
    ECONOMIC VIOLENCE TO WOMEN AND GIRLS Is It Receiving the Necessary Attention? Olufunmilayo I. Fawole University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria Most studies on gender-based violence (GBV) have focused on its physical, sexual, and psychological manifestations. This paper seeks to draw attention to the types of economic violence experienced by women, and describes its consequences on health and development. Economic violence experienced included limited access to funds and credit; controlling access to health care, employment, education, includ- ing agricultural resources; excluding from financial decision making; and discrim- inatory traditional laws on inheritance, property rights, and use of communal land. At work women experienced receiving unequal remuneration for work done equal in value to the men's, were overworked and underpaid, and used for unpaid work outside the contractual agreement. Some experienced fraud and theft from some men, illegal confiscation of goods for sale, and unlawful closing down of worksites. At home, some were barred from working by partners; while other men totally abandoned family maintenance to the women. Unfortunately, economic violence results in deepening poverty and compromises educational attainment and developmental opportunities for women. It leads to physical violence, promotes sexual exploitation and the risk of contracting HIV infection, maternal morbidity and mortality, and trafficking of women and girls. Economic abuse may continue even after the woman has left the abusive relationship. There is need for further large-scale studies on economic violence to women. Multi-strategy interventions that promote equity between women and men, provide economic opportunities for women, inform them of their rights, reach out to men and change societal beliefs and attitudes that permit exploitative behavior are urgently required.

  • Power and Control Wheel NO SHADING
    POOWERWER AANDND COONTROLNTROL WHHEELEEL hysical and sexual assaults, or threats to commit them, are the most apparent forms of domestic violence and are usually Pthe actions that allow others to become aware of the problem. However, regular use of other abusive behaviors by the batterer, when reinforced by one or more acts of physical violence, make up a larger system of abuse. Although physical as- saults may occur only once or occasionally, they instill threat of future violent attacks and allow the abuser to take control of the woman’s life and circumstances. he Power & Control diagram is a particularly helpful tool in understanding the overall pattern of abusive and violent be- Thaviors, which are used by a batterer to establish and maintain control over his partner. Very often, one or more violent incidents are accompanied by an array of these other types of abuse. They are less easily identified, yet firmly establish a pat- tern of intimidation and control in the relationship.

  • Battered Woman Syndrome: Institutionalization of Negative Stereotypes About Women
    UCLA UCLA Women's Law Journal Title Current Use of Battered Woman Syndrome: Institutionalization of Negative Stereotypes about Women Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/73t5x0m5 Journal UCLA Women's Law Journal, 8(1) Author Cornia, Rebecca D. Publication Date 1997 DOI 10.5070/L381017687 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California ESSAY CURRENT USE OF BATTERED WOMAN SYNDROME: INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF NEGATIVE STEREOTYPES ABOUT WOMEN Rebecca D. Cornia* ABSTRACT In this Essay, Rebecca Cornia examines how courts currently use Battered Woman Syndrome ("BWS") to explain why soci- ety should excuse women who behave irrationally. Cornia compares BWS to the Marital Coercion Doctrine, a Nine- teenth Century defense that excused women who committed crimes at the direction of their husbands. Cornia traces courts' use of BWS to excuse the criminal acts of women acting under duress from their batterers and to impeach women testifying on behalf of their abusers in domestic violence cases. Cornia analyzes the current use of BWS, which she asserts stereotypes women as irrational, leading to their detriment in other legal proceedings including: child custody battles, child abuse cases, and bar disciplinary proceedings. Cornia explains that the trend in the courts to use BWS in such a wide variety of cases portrays women as irrational and therefore undermines the position of women in society as a whole. She argues that the BWS defense should be reconstructed or replaced altogether. TABLE OF CONTENTS I. INTRODUCTION ..................................... 100 II.
