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. My efforts have focused on
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.
