Research Question The Center of Child and Family Services (CCFS) has three treatment options for Domestic Violent Offenders (DVO). These treatments meet Virginia’s requirements for batterer treatment programs, effectively saying they are sanctioned by the state as “best-practice”. These treatments include Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) using a group format with two facilitators, a substance abuse group for offenders who struggle with addiction, and individualized therapy…

gendercide is a sex-selective killing where men or women are victims disproportionately (Carpenter). The war against women in India goes back centuries with the deeply rooted, sexist cultural dynamics as well as the ineffective and unfair government policies that have led to the increase rates of gendercide. Girls become victims of female infanticide due to the financial and social…

Video games are a form in which media promotes and spreads the misogynistic ideal. Television shows exploit women as sexual objects. Music videos, video games, and television shows symbolize women as sexual objects causing no inspiration to stop violence against women and the spread of anti-awareness toward women’s rights. Many…

known as the Shining Path, Peru’s history is riddled with violence and abuse (Flake 2005; Mitchell 2013). The experiences of women in Peru show no exception to this. Estimates indicate that women in Peru experience incredibly high rates of domestic abuse, within the highest across the globe (Boesten 2006; Flake 2005). Regardless of laws established by the country, Peruvian women struggle to successfully deconstruct domestic violence within their communities. In contrast, the United States – a…

This drama study will define the conflict of male gender dominance and violence towards women in The Duchess of Malfi by John Webster and Woyzeck by Georg Buchner. In Webster’s play, the duchess is continually at the mercy of her brother, Ferdinand, because he does not want her to inherit their father’s money. The duchess has an illicit love affair with Antonio, which makes it possible for Ferdinand and the Cardinal to have her executed for an illicit love affair. This form of male gender…

Hawaiian shirts with silhouettes of naked women all over it, and I never really thought much of it until now. For some reason we find it socially acceptable to display the female body. Another part of her presentation that stood out to me was when she said that women are four times more likely to be impacted by sexual violence on a college campus. I find this number to be disturbing. No women should have to walk around being concerned, but instead women should feel comfortable. I agree with the…

history of the women’s movement in the West has unfolded completely differently from here. It is based on other traditions and pursues different goals” (McKanders 2014: 167). Although the term “feminism” in its Western sense is often apply, these women seek out “to define their own form of feminism that promotes women’s rights within their own particular Islamic context and are, generally, not too concerned with labels of ‘feminist’ or ‘feminism’” (Evrard 2014, Wuerth 2005). Furthermore, French…

I attended the UCD School of Nursing interprofessional experience where treatment of domestic violence and substance abuse was addressed on two separate days. The first day of the seminar was very interesting to me because it was my first time learning about the signs of domestic violence. I was in a group that consisted of nursing students, and they were all very curious about my role as a Social Worker. They asked me questions such as, what I am currently doing at my internship and what made…

The pay gap proves to be far worse for women of color. African-American women earn 64 cents while Hispanic women earn 56 cents for every dollar a white man earns. Despite women’s high levels of education, the U.S. has one of the largest percentages of gender inequality in the industrialized world. “At every level of schooling, women and black men have lower earnings than white men” (Treiman and Hartmann 13). This goes to show that education…
