Book excerpt: Broad in its scope and detailed in its research, this book analyzes the psychosocial conditions of Nigerian widows and childless women on inheritance and property relations, and highlights incidence of major trauma events, such as violence, abuse and neglect that affect millions of the female population every year. Currently, there is no mental health care model with the potential to address the psychological and social needs of survivors in a cost - effective dimension. This book presents such a model of raising awareness on the impact of cognitive predictors of mental distress (prolonged grief) associated with traumatic stressful experience and behaviour, making it invaluable for both policy-makers and mental health professionals. Building on more than seven years of extensive research on gender studies, culture and healthcare, as well as presentation and participation on academic seminars, conferences and workshops and some other religious and social scientific insights, this book provides a learning curve to harmful traditional practices and ideological cultural belief to aid understanding of various forms of psychological effects for abuse and domestic violence and how its adverse effect can be overcome through counselling and psychotherapy treatment. The book also offers a critical analysis of various controversial issues around patriarchal practice in patrilineal and kinship system associated with women's disinheritance, rite of passage and their psychosocial conditions in the light of the present research findings. The author suggests education as a starting point around harmful traditional practices among the minority groups in developing countries; whilst seeking to promote value-centred vision on people's cultural rights and healthcare, covering improvement on coping mechanism for abuse, the book will be of use to survivors themselves as well as care providers.

Download or read book Women and Girls Rising written by Ellen Chesler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-19 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A growing body of evidence demonstrates that improvements in the status of women and girls – however worthy and important in their own right – also drive the prosperity, stability, and security of families, communities, and nations. Yet despite many indicators of progress, women and girls everywhere – including countries of the developed world – continue to confront barriers to their full and equal participation in social, economic, and political life. Capturing voices and experiences from around the world, this work documents the modern history of the global women’s movement - its many accomplishments and setbacks. Drawing together prominent pioneers and contemporary policymakers, activists, and scholars, the volume interrogates where and why progress has met resistance and been slowed, and examine the still unfinished agenda for change in national and international policy arenas. This history and roadmap are especially critical for younger generations who need a better understanding of this rich feminist legacy and the intense opposition that women’s movements have generated. This book creates a clear and forceful narrative about women’s agency and the central relevance of women’s rights movements to global and national policy-making.. It is essential reading for activists and policymakers, students and scholars alike.

Download or read book Sex Work in Nepal written by Lisa Caviglia and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores ‘sex work’ in Nepal as a social and analytical category. Narrating stories of those subsumed under such definition, it examines changes as well as continuities characterising socio-cultural norms and perceptions through an analysis of sexual consumption. It also highlights the ways in which the development sector, media, and local community discourses frame ‘sex work’ as a distinct category. How does the work of development aid projects affect the understanding of the sex worker category? How are visual and media images employed to mark spaces of perdition in the Nepalese urban setting and what forms of imagination do they trigger? How are intimate practices and relations transformed by imported notions of love, and how do standards of propriety related to such interactions shift? This book attempts to answer some of these questions. An in-depth and intimate ethnography, the book deconstructs the sex worker category against the backdrop of global influences within local urban surroundings and points to the contradictions therein. Furthermore, through thorough descriptions of the experiences, agency, decision-making processes, and lives of those labelled as sex workers, the book challenges concepts such as deviance and victimhood. It proposes a counternarrative by rethinking ideas of gender, objectification, marginality, symbolic violence, and discrimination. This book will greatly interest researchers and scholars in women and gender studies, sociology and social anthropology, South Asian studies and social sciences, as well as NGOs and those involved in the development sector.

Book excerpt: The Sexual Violence and Impunity in South Asia research project (coordinated by Zubaan and supported by the International Development Research Centre) brings together, for the first time in the region, a vast body of research on this important – yet silenced – subject. Six country volumes (one each on Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and two on India, as well as two standalone volumes) comprising over fifty research papers and two book-length studies, detail the histories of sexual violence and look at the systemic, institutional, societal, individual and community structures that work together to perpetuate impunity for perpetrators. The essays in this volume focus on Nepal, which though not directly colonized, has not remained immune from the influence of colonialism in its neighbourhood. In addition to home-grown feudal patriarchal structures, the writers in this volume clearly demonstrate that it is the larger colonial and post-colonial context of the subcontinent that has enabled the structuring of inequalities and power relations in ways that today allow for widespread sexual violence and impunity in the country – through legal systems, medical regimes and social institutions. The period after the 1990 democratic movement, the subsequent political transformation in the aftermath of the Maoist insurgency and the writing of the new constitution, has seen an increase in public discussion about sexual violence. The State has brought in a slew of legislation and action plans to address this problem. And yet, impunity for perpetrators remains intact and justice elusive. What are the structures that enable such impunity? What can be done to radically transform these? How must States understand the search for justice for victims and survivors of sexual violence? This volume addresses these and related issues. Published by Zubaan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Violence against women has reached its pervasive stage in Nepal. Decade long conflict in the country followed by protracted transitional period leading to very fragile law and order situation, established culture of impunity, long and tedious court procedures and dominant patriarchal structure of governance are few established causes leading to this. The statistics show that VAW still prevails at homes, workplaces and public spaces. WOREC has been publishing "Anbeshi"- an analytical year book on VAW since 2008. It has contributed in understanding the ground reality on VAW among different stakeholders including the government. Media has become more sensitive and supportive to highlight this issue. Moreover, it is important that the database generated and publication of annual analytical report "Anbeshi" is contributing for evidence based lobby and advocacy. The Constituent Assembly Election II was held in 19th November 2013; and Nepali people are optimistic for new constitution of Nepal. WOREC believes that the recommendations of Anbeshi will ensure reflection of the issues in the new constitution of Nepal. It is also anticipated that the findings of the report will be useful to human rights and civil society orgnisations, NGOs and INGOs, students, researchers and academician.
