Book excerpt: The few studies that exist on battered women who have killed focus on what psychologists, attorneys, and academics have to say about their conduct. To date, there has been no study of how the women perceive themselves and their actions, and how they feel about the labels that have been applied to them. The voices of women who have killed their abusers must be brought into this debate. The life stories of these women can inform the theory used to describe them, illuminating disjunctions between the battered woman syndrome and their own explanations for their actions.

Book excerpt: Over a third of domestically abused Americans are serious violence survivors. And, according to Shelter House, 1 in every 4 women will experience Domestic Violence in their lifetime. In past generations, domestic violence was kept hidden in the shadows of doorknobs and dark bedrooms. Everyone knew it was happening, but no one dared speak of it. The topic was too shameful and too uncomfortable to be acknowledged. For far too long, it used that shame and discomfort for the advantage of the abuser. But today, more and more men and women are using their voices, speaking up for those who have fallen permanently at the hand of their abuser. Shedding the light on domestic violence to empower others to fight for their survival!In "Behind Closed Doors" I Survived Domestic Violence and You Can Too, you will hear the voices of women who share their traumatic experiences of life with an abuser. These powerful women are vulnerable and raw, and willing to open up old wounds that will captivate you and draw you into their pain, tears, and for some, their blood and bruises. You will marvel at their bravery and resilience in each of their compelling stories. These bold women move on to show the world how they overcame these challenges and traumas and now lead a happy, fulfilling, and successful life. No longer do they hide Behind Closed Doors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #NiUnaMenos #Aufschrei #LoSHA Before #MeToo became a massive global movement, these were the hashtags that represented activists from Ukraine to Peru who demanded accountability for the sexual violence and racism, xenophobia, and misogyny inflicted on women, transgender people, and girls. Led by activists such as Tarana Burke, who popularized the phrase "me too," these movements provided a call to action for survivors across the world to speak out about their experiences. In #MeToo and Beyond, M. Cristina Alcalde and Paula-Irene Villa bring together scholars and activists from various backgrounds to approach #MeToo from multiple spaces, positionalities, and areas of expertise, many from regions and contexts often overlooked and understudied in the mediascapes of the global North. This volume includes perspectives from around the world and touches on diverse topics spanning masculinity studies, transgender people's heightened risk of suffering sexual harassment and violence, the internal conflict in American Jewish communities as activists began speaking out against prominent members who relied on shared cultural values to shame their victims, as well as many other significant aspects of the first all-inclusive international effort to end gender-based violence. The editors and contributors heed Burke's call to amplify marginalized voices so that instead of becoming footnotes, these voices guide activists to frame polyphony as central to understanding past, current, and future forms of gender-based violence and resistance. The goal of #MeToo and Beyond is to examine both profoundly universal and specific experiences of sexual violence, as well as the collective effort to stop gender-based violence wherever it occurs. Activists and scholars will find this book an important and necessary contribution to current and future discussions on sexual violence and global movements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does our gender impact our preaching? Can women express anger in a sermon? Why use a first person narrative sermon structure? After preaching for several years Christine Redwood realized both her preaching role models, and her theology, had come predominantly from men, so she spent the next six years researching feminist scholars and their readings of stories from the book of Judges. In this accessible book she shares what she has learnt including sample sermons and exercises for preachers wanting to grow in their craft. This is essential reading for preachers wanting to amplify marginal voices!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nason-Clark's sociological research reveals how churches and secular organizations have responded - sometimes with assistance, sometimes not - to victims of violence in their midst and how their response could be more effective. By exploring the relationship between violence and Christians' response to it from various perspectives - those of victim, clergy, congregation - this book ultimately encourages a pastoral assistance that reduces violence in the world and helps victims find the inner strength to leave their gardens.

Download or read book Violence against Women in Families and Relationships written by Eve S. Buzawa and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-06-08 with total page 1001 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive overview of domestic violence against women and children in America covers the services meant to combat it, the legal approaches to prosecuting it, the public's attitudes toward it, and the successes and failures of systems meant to address it. The fight to end domestic violence consists of community-based services for battered women, laws and policies to combat the problem, a broad spectrum of frequently-innovative programs to protect or otherwise support abused women and children, a dramatic shift in media portrayals of violence against women, and a growing public critique of unacceptable forms of power and control in relationships. These volumes offer another weapon in that battle. Violence against Women in Families and Relationships takes stock of all of the ways in which legislation, programs and services, and even public attitudes have impacted victims, offenders, and communities over the last few decades. Contributors pay special attention to how race, class, and cultural differences affect the experience of abuse. They explore the efficacy of interventions, and they provide compelling real-life examples to illustrate issues and challenges. Our society has made an enormous investment in stopping abuse in families and relationships, but numerous questions still remain. Many of those questions are answered in these pages, as experts uncover the realities of domestic violence and the toll it takes on families, individuals, communities, and society at large.

Book excerpt: The 1970s was a decade when matters previously considered private and personal became public and political. These shifts not only transformed Australian politics, they engendered far-reaching cultural and social changes. Feminists challenged ‘man-made’ norms and sought to recover lost histories of female achievement and cultural endeavour. They made films, picked up spanners and established printing presses. The notion that ‘the personal was political’ began to transform long-held ideas about masculinity and femininity, both in public and private life. In the spaces between official discourses and everyday experience, many sought to revolutionise the lives of Australian men and women. Everyday Revolutions brings together new research on the cultural and social impact of the feminist and sexual revolutions of the 1970s in Australia. Gay Liberation and Women’s Liberation movements erupted, challenging almost every aspect of Australian life. The pill became widely available and sexuality was both celebrated and flaunted. Campaigns to decriminalise abortion and homosexuality emerged across the country. Activists set up women’s refuges, rape crisis centres and counselling services. Governments responded to new demands for representation and rights, appointing women’s advisors and funding new services. Everyday Revolutions is unique in its focus not on the activist or legislative achievements of the women’s and gay and lesbian movements, but on their cultural and social dimensions. It is a diverse and rich collection of essays that reminds us that women’s and gay liberation were revolutionary movements.
