The Social Costs of Intimate Partner Violence
This article makes a novel contribution to the literature on the impacts of intimate partner violence (IPV) through a qualitative study across specific spaces in Ghana and Pakistan, namely home, work, religious institutions, and marketplaces. We argue that women's ability to capitalize on the symbolic and material value of place is crucially mediated by violence. We further argue that the impacts of IPV in relation to use of space are intensified…
Feminist Perspectives on Conflict, Disaster, and Violence against Women
Violence against women (VAW) is widely recognized as a pervasive, global problem that is associated with poor health and economic outcomes for women and children. Women are disproportionately exposed to physical, sexual, and psychological violence during volent conflicts and political upheavals. Similarly, research on disasters indicates a disproportionate impact of such events on women and girls, with an increase in physical and sexual VAW, spec…
Productivity Impacts of Intimate Partner Violence
Intimate partner violence (IPV) against women and girls is recognized as a human rights problem with little understanding of its ripple effects on the workplace. While the literature has attempted to understand the impacts of IPV on the workplace in high-income countries, relatively, literature on low and middle-income countries is very scant. Using primary survey data collected from 16,921 workers in 257 businesses in Ghana, South Sudan, Bolivia…
Shattered glass piling at the bottom
Since 2014, gender equality has gained momentum in Irish higher education. Feminist organising and media attention resulted in an ‘almost-perfect storm of pressure’ to which the state responded by developing an ‘ambitious and radical’ policy. Employing Bacchi's methodology (WPR), this article demonstrates the problem of gender inequality has been gradually narrowed to address the lack of ‘women’ in senior positions. Competing problematisations we…
Violence against women and the macroeconomy
Violence against women (VAW) is a widely recognized human rights violation but whose wider economic ramifications are less understood. In this article, applying the multiplier analysis based on 2015 social accounting matrix of Ghana, we outline how the individual microlevel income loss is translated to a macroeconomic loss. We argue that the macroeconomic loss due to VAW, which amounts to about 0.94% of Ghanaian GDP, is not a once‐off loss but a …
The impacts of violence against women on choice and agency
This article presents unique data on the economic and social impacts of Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG) in development contexts. The article draws on quantitative and qualitative data from over 5120 women in Ghana (2066 respondents) and Pakistan (3054 respondents) collected between 2016 and 2018 to assess the impacts on productivity, primarily through presenteeism and absenteeism, in paid and unpaid work due to a range of forms of VAWG. G…
The Social Costs of Violence Against Women and Girls on Survivors, their Families and Communities in Pakistan
Past research on gender-based violence (GBV) in Pakistan discusses intimate partner violence (IPV) and non-partner sexual violence (NPSV) but lacks a comprehensive analysis of violence against women and girls (VAWG) and its wider costs and impacts. Our study on the social costs of VAWG aims to fill this gap. Through in-depth interviews (IDIs) and focus group discussions (FGDs) in rural and urban Pakistan, we explore the types of VAWG that manifes…
Erosion of pension rights
The recent economic crisis of 2008 and the fragility of government revenues sharply illuminated the contested nature of pension rights in Europe. The crisis intensified calls for an overhaul of pension systems across Europe including raising retirement age, increasing contribution years, auto-enrolment in occupational schemes, and changing tax relief on private pension contributions. However, the impact of the economic crisis and the implications…
The Macroeconomic Loss due to Violence Against Women
Violence against women (VAW) is now acknowledged as a global problem with substantial economic costs. However, the current estimates of costs in the literature provide the aggregate loss of income, but not the macroeconomic loss in terms of output and demand insofar as they fail to consider the structural interlinkages of the economy. Focusing on Vietnam, this study proposes an approach based on the social accounting matrix (SAM) to estimate the …
Sexual violence, masculinity, and the journey of recovery
‘Man-covery’
Ireland has recently experienced its worst recession in the post-World War II era. The effects on Ireland's labour market have been stark. This article examines more closely the gender dimensions of the recent recession in Ireland. The evidence suggests that there have been gendered shifts in the labour market. With male-dominated sectors, such as construction and industry, suffering significant decline, men have been increasingly taking up part-…
Impact of Stepping Stones on incidence of HIV and HSV-2 and sexual behaviour in rural South Africa
OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of Stepping Stones, a HIV prevention programme, on incidence of HIV and herpes simplex type 2 (HSV-2) and sexual behaviour. DESIGN: Cluster randomised controlled trial. SETTING: 70 villages (clusters) in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. PARTICIPANTS: 1360 men and 1416 women aged 15-26 years, who were mostly attending schools. INTERVENTION: Stepping Stones, a 50 hour programme, aims to improve sexual healt…
Physical Spousal Violence Against Women in India
Domestic spousal violence against women in developing countries like India, is now beginning to be recognized as a widespread health problem impeding development. This study aimed to explore the risk and protective factors for lifetime spousal physical violence. A cross-sectional household survey was carried out in rural, urban and urban-slum areas across seven sites in India, among women aged 15–49 years, living with a child less than 18 years o…
A cluster randomized‐controlled trial to determine the effectiveness of Stepping Stones in preventing HIV infections and promoting safer sexual behaviour amongst youth in the rural Eastern Cape, South…
Objective To describe the study design, methods and baseline findings of a behavioural intervention trial aimed at reducing HIV incidence. Method A cluster randomized‐controlled trial (RCT) conducted in 70 villages in rural South Africa. A behavioural intervention, Stepping Stones, was implemented in 35 communities in two workshops of 20 men and 20 women in each community who met for 17 sessions (50 h) over a period of 3–12 weeks. Individuals in …
Factors associated with HIV sero-status in young rural South African women
BACKGROUND: This paper aims to describe factors associated with HIV sero-status in young, rural South African women and the relationship between intimate partner violence (IPV) and HIV. METHODS: A total of 1295 sexually active female volunteers, aged 15-26, from 70 villages were recruited to participate in a cluster randomized controlled trial of an HIV behavioural intervention. The main measures were HIV sero-status, and IPV and sexual practices…
Perpetration of partner violence and HIV risk behaviour among young men in the rural Eastern Cape, South Africa
OBJECTIVES: To examine associations between the perpetration of intimate partner violence and HIV risk behaviour among young men in rural South Africa. DESIGN: An analysis of baseline data from men enrolling in a randomized controlled trial of the behavioural intervention, Stepping Stones. METHODS: Structured interviews with 1275 sexually experienced men aged 15-26 years from 70 villages in the rural Eastern Cape. Participants were asked about th…
How to Make the Law Work? Budgetary Implications of Domestic Violence Laws in Latin America, Central America, and the Caribbean
This study focuses on budgetary implications of domestic violence (DV) laws in the Latin American, Central American, and Caribbean (LAC) region. It is based on a survey of literature and data on DV legislation, literature reviews on the social and economic costs of DV, and an analysis of policies on DV in the region based on a survey of nonprofits working on DV in the region. The study shows DV is not being mainstreamed into ministerial budget li…
