  • 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.

  • Reproductive Coercion and Legal Recognition: Views of Domestic Violence Support Workers and Lawyers
    IJCJ&SD 2020 Advance Online Publication ISSN 2202-8005 Reproductive Coercion and Legal Recognition: Views of Domestic Violence Support Workers and Lawyers Heather Douglas The University of Queensland, Australia Nicola Sheeran Griffith University, Australia Laura Tarzia The University of Melbourne, Australia Abstract Reproductive coercion is increasingly recognised as a common part of women’s experiences of domestic violence. The term refers to behaviour that aims to compromise a woman’s control over her reproductive choices. It includes coercing a woman to become pregnant or to terminate a pregnancy and sabotaging contraception. There is no Australian research exploring how domestic violence support and legal services understand and respond to reproductive coercion when it is raised. Drawing on focus group discussions, this article questions the use of the terminology ‘reproductive coercion’ suggesting that ‘reproductive abuse’ may be more accessible. The article finds that the response to reproductive coercion in the legal context may be similar to sexual violence allegations, particularly regarding difficulties associated with reporting and with the victim being believed. This connection is worthy of further investigation. The article concludes that legislative change may improve the recognition of reproductive coercion. Keywords Domestic violence; family violence; reproductive coercion; sexual assault, law; coercive control.

  • Prevalence of Intimate Partner Reproductive Coercion in the United States: Racial and Ethnic Differences
    HHS Public Access Author manuscript Author ManuscriptAuthor Manuscript Author J Interpers Manuscript Author Violence. Author Manuscript Author manuscript; available in PMC 2021 June 06. Published in final edited form as: J Interpers Violence. ; : 886260519888205. doi:10.1177/0886260519888205. Prevalence of Intimate Partner Reproductive Coercion in the United States: Racial and Ethnic Differences Kathleen C. Basile, PhD1, Sharon G. Smith, PhD1, Yang Liu, PhD1, Elizabeth Miller, MD, PhD2, Marcie-jo Kresnow, MS1 1Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA, USA 2University of Pittsburgh, PA, USA Abstract Reproductive coercion (RC) is a specific type of intimate partner violence (IPV). Although clinical studies have highlighted women’s experiences of RC, we know little about its national prevalence and differences in prevalence by sex category and race/ethnicity. Data are from the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS), years 2010 to 2012. NISVS is an ongoing, nationally representative random-digit-dial telephone survey of the noninstitutionalized English- or Spanish-speaking U.S. adult population. This article reports the national lifetime and 12-month prevalence of two RC victimization measures, and proportions among IPV victims. T tests were used to examine differences in estimates across racial/ethnic groups. In the United States, 9.7% of men and 8.4% of women experienced any RC by an intimate partner during their lifetime. Men reported more commonly than women that a partner tried to get pregnant when the man did not want her to; women reported higher prevalence of partner condom refusal. Examination by race/ ethnicity revealed that non-Hispanic (NH) Black women and men had significantly higher lifetime prevalence of both RC types than all other groups; in the last 12 months, NH Blacks had significantly higher prevalence across the board than NH Whites.

    Identifying and Responding to Reproductive Coercion in a Legal Context: Issues Paper Professor Heather Douglas, Dr Nicola Sheeran, Dr Laura Tarzia. May 2020 Professor Heather Douglas Dr Nicola Sheeran Dr Laura Tarzia Law School School of Applied Department of General University of Queensland Psychology Practice [email protected] Griffith University The University of [email protected] Melbourne [email protected] 1 REPRODUCTIVE COERCION What is it? Reproductive coercion is underlined by a woman’s compromised ability to use, or have access to, safe contraceptive methods (Clark, Allen, Goyal, Raker, & Gottlieb, 2014), as well as a lack of control over the outcome of a pregnancy. Perpetrators draw on physical, psychological, sexual, economic, and other strategies to maintain power and control over women’s reproductive choices (Miller, Jordan, Levenson, & Silverman, 2010). What does it look like? For example, a woman may be threatened with physical harm if she does not become pregnant, continue a pregnancy, or terminate a pregnancy, or she may be psychologically intimidated to prevent her from terminating a pregnancy. Behaviours associated with reproductive coercion include sabotaging birth control such as throwing away contraceptive pills, forced unprotected sex, or intentional misuse of condoms, or financially preventing the woman from obtaining forms of contraception (Price et al, 2019). At times, reproductive coercion can be subtle, for example, continued emotional manipulation or blackmail to influence women’s decision making. Is reproductive coercion recognised in any legal definitions? Reproductive coercion is not defined in any Australian legal definition. When reproductive coercion takes place within a dating or intimate partner relationship it may captured in some definitions of domestic and family violence.

The authors examined the prevalence and characteristics of rape-related pregnancy in U.S. women and its association with intimate partner reproductive coercion. Methods: Data years 2010–2012 are pooled from the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, a telephone survey of U.S. adults. Accounting for complex survey design, in 2017, authors estimated the prevalence of vaginal rape–related pregnancy for U.S. women overall and by race/ethnicity. The authors also examined the proportion of rape-related pregnancy among victims of vaginal rape overall, by perpetrator type and by presence of reproductive coercion in the context of intimate partner rape.
