Domestic Violence Against Women in India: a Case Study
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN INDIA: A CASE STUDY ABSTRACT OF THE /^C THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF fioctor of $I)ilDs;opl)p •^ ^'^ IN (, POLITICAL SCIENCE BY RAHAT ZAMANI Under the Supervision of Dr. Rachana Kanshal DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE ALJGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2009 ABSTRACT Today human beings live in the so-called civilized and democratic society that is based on the principles of equality and freedom for all. It automatically results into the non-acceptance of gender discrimination in principle. Therefore, various International Human Rights norms are in place that insist on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women and advocate equal rights for women. Womens' year, women decade etc. are observed that led to the creation of mass awareness and sensitization of people about rights of women. Many steps are taken by the government in the form of various policies and programmes to promote the status of women and to realize women's rights. But despite all the efforts, the basic issue that threatens and endangers the very existence of women is the issue of domestic violence against women. John Stuart Mill put it into his book 'the subjection of women' in 1869 that, 'marriage should be thought of as a partnership of equals analogous to a business partnership and the family not a school of despotism but the real school of the virtues of freedom'. Contrary to this women who constitute about half of the world's population are the worst victim of violence and exploitation within home. -
Plural Visions on Gender Inequality Some Faces of Exclusion and Social Assymetrie
Comunicación e Xénero ISBN-13 978-84-690-4140-6 NATALIA FERNÁNDEZ DÍAZ Plural visions on gender inequality Some faces of exclusion and social assymetrie Visións plurais sobre a desigualdade de xénero Algunhas caras da exclusión e asimetría social Resumo: This article is a reflection, more than an analysis, about the theoretical framework we have to use to focus on gender violence beyond a feminist point of view. At the end gender violence is a specific way of violence in general. Actually what we expose here is a quite simple theory consisting in the belief that a vio- lent world generates a generalized violence. Generalized violence is connected to a lack of solidarity, where we systematically experience situation of people not being involved with each other. And this is our starting point. After that we give some data to confirm this globalised and generalized violence against wo- men but also against all kind of victims of a society where human links have be- come feeble. At the same time we emphasize the fact that violence, including gender violence, is now more visible since in several occasions it exists when it exists in an image. The violence is not only important by itself but also because it is reproduced and consumed as a cultural product. Keywords: General violence, gender violence, solidarity, feminism, globaliza- tion, images, mass media. Abstract: Este artigo formula unha reflexión, máis do que unha análise, sobre o marco teórico que debemos utilizar para achegarnos á violencia de xénero, alén do ponto de vista do feminismo. A fin de contas a violencia de xénero non é máis do que unha forma específica da violencia en xeral. -

E-mail : [email protected] Received : July 8, 2019 Revised : January 19, 2020 Accepted : February 7, 2020 Abstract The objective of this article is to analyze the incentive causes of rape crime with the perspective of economy in China. Utilized and integrated many official Statistics and Reports, states that mainly economic phenomena play the role on rape crimes: During economic migration, peasant workers have aggravated sexual repression, who became a highly concerned potential rape crime group. Under heavy economic burden, delayed marriage age, falling marriage rate and rising divorce rate had led to prolonging asexual period for the young blood. With infections of economic exploitation, the celebrities’ sexual games have diffused imitation effects, while the poor’s sexual helpless will accelerate the social frustration and masculinity loss which cannot compensate the sexual psychology development healthily. This article proposes that lessons from Franz von Liszt’ Criminology Theory, social policy represents the best and effective crime policy, deduces thesolutions including Poverty 8 Alleviation Policy and Reducing Gap in Wealth Policy which maybe reduce the occurrence rate of rape in China. These best economic policies will be able to loosen the hand which halted necks of those souls’ libido. -

Not All Victims of Rape Will Be Recognised As Such in the Eyes of the Law
i International Journal for Intersectional Feminist Studies The Journal of Project Monma Research Centre Volume 2, Issue 1, September2016 ISSN 2463-2945 To cite this social commentary Chi, W. (2016). Not all victims of rape will be recognised as such in the eyes of the law. International Journal for Intersectional Feminist Studies, 2 (1), pp.56-61. International Journal for Intersectional Feminist Studies, Volume 2, Issue 1, September 2016, ISSN 2463-2945 56 Social Commentary: Not all victims of rape will be recognised as such in the eyes of the law Wenluan Chi Abstract This social commentary discusses the contemporary stance of the Chinese government and Chinese society on the issue of marital rape in China. I have focused on this issue from a feminist perspective and the discussion is based mainly on my observations which are based on ideas from a selection of academic readings. When I came to New Zealand to take gender studies courses, I first understood marital rape as a form crime. After this I was able to understand that the marital rape exemption is a reflection of patriarchal legislative system and socio-cultural mores of contemporary Chinese society. Keywords: China, domestic violence, marital rape, violence, women, sexual violence Introduction According to Encyclopedia Dictionary on Roman Law, the word rape originally derived from the Latin verb "rapere", which means "to seize or take by force" (p.667-768). Rape can be defined as a crime in the criminal statutes of most countries and the criminalization of rape under international law (Abegunde, 2013). However, a search of the Statistics New Zealand website reveals that only nine percent of rapes are registered by police. -
