Violence against women in the 21st Century: Challenges and future directions
No full textGuggisberg, M ORCiD: 0000-0003-1344-7330This book examines issues around violence against women in relation to contemporary experiences, theories and interventions. It provides insight from research and expertise of international scholars, which invites readers to critically reflect on the nature, impacts and complex responses to women s experiences of interpersonal violence, inequality and racism. The book raises awareness of different forms of violence, which include emerging types such as image-based abuse, sextortion and online stalking. The book is aimed at scholars, students, practitioners, policy makers and interested community members. A primary emphasis is on resituating major issues in the context of contemporary challenges and current research. Violence against women is an ongoing phenomenon that continues to confront and impact individuals, sub-populations and whole societies. Major misconceptions in the context of family and intimate relationships are highlighted along with prejudicial attitudes of those responding to the violence. Furthermore, cultural expectations and media representations are implicated and reasons for ongoing and new digital technology facilitated abuse are discussed. This book makes it abundantly clear that awareness needs to be raised continuously, along with discussions in relation to effective intervention and prevention. While progress has been made in recent years and decades, contemporary concerns need to be raised, challenges need to be considered to press forward, tolerance towards violence against women needs to be reduced and ultimately prevented altogethe
Conceptualising intimate partner sexual violence: Danger and harm to victim-survivors and the role of persistent myths
No full textGuggisberg, M ORCiD: 0000-0003-1344-7330Sexual violence is a global problem and most commonly it is perpetrated within a current or former intimate relationship. Intimate partner sexual violence (IPSV) is not well understood and more insight is required to adequately assist victim-survivors affected by this crime. It is concerning that the common misconception of perpetrators being strangers still persists. This chapter will expand on existing knowledge about victims of IPSV. It draws from a larger feminist-informed Australian study that included in -depth interviews with women who self-identified as victim-survivors of IPSV and integrates current knowledge to better explain and understand this phenomenon. First person narratives will provide insight into personal experiences of victimised women. They illustrate the complex interplay of IPSV with women's struggle to resist. Future directions will be discussed including challenging persistent myths that need to be addressed along with intervention and prevention recommendations
The impact of violence against women and girls: A life span analysis
No full textGuggisberg, M ORCiD: 0000-0003-1344-7330Violence against women across their life span has been recognised as a serious problem in contemporary society. This chapter identifies forms of violence against women and girls with focus on the family home. It discusses childhood victimisation and the increased risk for later intimate partner violence, adolescent violence against the mother, and abuse in older age.
The issue of trauma-related distress is examined in relation to physical and mental health, social and emotional functioning and its contribution to increased vulnerability for subsequent victimisation. It argues that professionals working with children and women could assist in preventative efforts by understanding the way in which exposure to violence by a trusted family member can interfere with adjustment and the development of emotional self-regulation. Early intervention may assist in treating the impact of victimisation. The chapter concludes that identifying vulnerable and vivtimesed females of any age, and providing effective intervention therapies along with generalised prevention programs, may demonstrate intergenerational disruption of harmful outcomes of violence against women and girls in the family home
Stalking: An age old problem with new expressions in the digital age
No full textGuggisberg, M ORCiD: 0000-0003-1344-7330This chapter explores stalking as a phenomenon that began in physical spaces but has now expanded into digital space with the advent of the internet and digital devices. This form of intimate partner violence is often misunderstood by lay persons as well as professionals within the criminal justice system, which furthers the negative impact for the largely female victims of this violence. In this chapter, definitions are first provided for stalking and cyberstalking before moving to examining the prevalence of, and motivation for, stalking and cyberstalking. Impacts of this behaviour are explored before examination of the issues in relation to seeking assistance from the criminal justice system and finally covering the informal measures that may be adopted in attempts to prevent stalking and cyberstalking or stop the stalking after it has begun
Comparing Greek Colonies. Mobility and Settlement Consolidation from Southern Italy to the Black Sea (8th – 6th Century BC). Proceedings of the International Conference (Rome, 7.–9.11.2018)
No full textThe need for a "new" book on Greek colonization arose to analyse this phenomenon as a long-term process in a wide geographic area. The events related to individual cities and regions, although geographically very distant from each other, are linked through an articulated network of material and immaterial relations and have to be considered as part of a broader mobility process in a Mediterranean perspective. The intention of "Comparing Greek Colonies" is to bring geographically and culturally distant regions such as Southern Italy/Sicily and the Black Sea, closer together, not merely to find "similarities and differences", but to broaden the scholars’ perspective and overcome existing, generalizing, and biased models, that are often rooted in local scientific traditions.
The proceedings of the international conference "Comparing Greek Colonies. Mobility and Settlement Consolidation from Southern Italy to the Black Sea (8th – 6th century BC)", 7.–9.11.2018 in Rome, are structured around three core topics (economic system; relationships with the indigenous populations; social and territorial systems) that constitute the cornerstones of the political formation of the polis in the Archaic period and for its development during the Classical and Hellenistic Ages
Sexually explicit images: Examining the lawful and unlawful new forms of sexual engagement
No full textGuggisberg, M ORCiD: 0000-0003-1344-7330Growing recognition surrounds the change that the internet has provided in relation to sexual behaviour. not only is sexually explicit material abundantly available on every device but people are increasingly engaging in creating pornographic materials using information communication technology. Against the background, technology has provided a medium that enables new forms of sexual engagement but also unlawful behaviours including revenge porn that is the non consensual distribution of sexually explicit images of an intimate partner which has become known as a weapon for disgruntled partners. Countless interactive pornographic websites have been created for the purpose of enabling the sharing of sexually explicit images for the sole purpose of revenge by publicly shaming and humiliating the depicted person. Once images are uploaded they can end up anywhere on the internet. Furthermore emerging sexually abusive behaviours include catfishing and sextortion are behaviours that extend the concept of image based sexual abuse. There seems to be a double standard and lack of recognition of the wide ranging impact on victimised womens health, well being and livelihood. Victim blaming attitudes prevail such as focus on the origin of the image rather than on the non consensual nature of the access and distribution of sexually explicit images and videos. The purpose of this chapter is to situate image based sexual abuse within the context of intimate partner violence and to challenge claims that non contact sexual victimisation is trivial. A better understanding of these emerging sexual behaviours using internet technology will allow victimised women and girls to seek help and to correct victim blaming attitudes among professionals as well as in the general community
