LEGAL PROTECTION TO WOMEN IN SOUTH AND CENTRAL ASIAN REGION FROM DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: A FIELD EXPERIENCE OF MALWA AND DOABA REGIONS OF INDIAN PUNJAB

By: Dr. Anu Sonia

1. INTRODUCTION: Woman is an essential component of the universe, as a path of the circle of life. In all the systems of society, marriage is treated as a pious obligation and sacrament too. A successful marriage, which is also known as a partnership of life depends on affection, love and trust between husband and wife. This partnership needs the strong support of society in order to enjoy a smooth life. However, sometimes this social partnership comes to an end due to various reasons and these reasons may vary in different regions. Our world is divided into various regions, where the condtions of life are different in respect to the marital affairs. This research work is specific to the Asian context and where some hierarchical patterns may vary between persons and in society too. This also generates the domain of interpersonal relations to a large extent because the domestic violence is used as a method to inefficient aggressive violence to prove/ implement patterns of power and power relationships.

Disabled Women and Domestic Violence

Responding to the Experiences of Survivors

By: Brenda Ellis,Professor Audrey Mullender,Ruth Bashall,Gill Hague,Dr Ravi Thiara

Domestic violence is encountered by disabled women more frequently than non-disabled women, yet disabled women are less likely to receive appropriate services, and there has been little research on their experiences and how this problem can be addressed. This book, drawing on the first UK national study of disabled women who have suffered domestic violence, highlights the experiences of these women, the nature of the violence perpetrated against them, and the seriousness and range of its impacts. The book draws attention to the gaps in services for disabled women and discusses how professional responses should be developed and improved, pointing to current examples of good practice. It includes first-hand accounts from disabled women and includes contributions from leading disabled women activists. This book will be important reading for students, practitioners, policymakers and academics in the fields of disability and domestic violence.

Talking about Domestic Abuse

A Photo Activity Workbook to Develop Communication between Mothers and Young People

By: Professor Audrey Mullender,Dr Ravi Thiara,Agnes Skamballis,Cathy Humphreys

Talking about Domestic Abuse is an activity pack for children of nine years and above and adolescents where families have experienced domestic abuse, to help and encourage them to open up to their mothers about their distressing experiences. Based on the authors' work with families who have experienced domestic abuse, the activities are designed around four important themes: building self-esteem; naming feelings; facilitating communication between mothers and children; and talking about personal experiences, including domestic violence, and are accompanied by photographs which act as prompts for discussion. The authors explain the need of young people to communicate with their parents about painful memories. They also establish practical 'ground rules' on how mothers can enter into that communication successfully and how to make the most of the activities provided. Further information is also given on support services that are available to families coping with domestic abuse. This will be an essential tool for families including young people who have lived through domestic abuse, as well as social workers and other professionals working with them.

Honour-Based Violence

Experiences and Counter-Strategies in Iraqi Kurdistan and the UK Kurdish Diaspora

By: Dr Aisha K Gill,Dr Nazand Begikhani,Professor Gill Hague

‘Honour'-based violence is a form of intimate violence committed against women (and some men) by husbands, fathers, brothers and male relatives. A very common social phenomenon, it has existed throughout history and in a wide variety of societies across the world, from white European to African cultures, from South and East Asia to Latin America. The most extreme form of Honour-based violence - 'honour' killing - tragically remains widespread. Over the last decade, national and international efforts, including new policy development and activist campaigns, have begun to challenge the practice. Based on a pioneering and unique study, conducted collaboratively by the Centre for Gender and Violence Research, University of Bristol, the University of Roehampton and Kurdish Women's Rights Watch, this book is at the forefront of this new and challenging policy direction.
