Gender Relations & Violence, Health and Culture
Inequitable power relations are all too often expressed in violence, understood as any act that causes or may cause physical, sexual, or mental harm or suffering, including the threat of such, as well as coercion and limiting freedom in public and private spaces. Gender-based and domestic violence are serious health problems which undermine the capacity for victims to seek care for themselves and are powerful deterrents to achieving gender equity. One facet of my work revolves around women’s and health care providers’ perceptions of spousal abuse, including its causes and consequences, as well as strategies for addressing it. I contend that violence exercised in contexts of alcohol consumption and economic marginalization, as well as abuse suffered by domestic servants, are two widespread dynamics calling for immediate attention. Additional foci of my attention are harassment and violent behavior among girls and boys in middle and high school. I have paid particular attention to the prevalence of harassment and violence by gender, grade in school, race/ethnicity, and especially sexual orientation.
