“…In the Upper West and Northern regions where patrilineal linkages and patriarchal practices are strongly embedded, the inclinations toward reporting were comparatively low. This finding is all too common in patriarchal societies where SGBV are trivialized or viewed as an unavoidable part of the growing-up process for men and experience to women (Bareket et al, 2018; Gorringe, 2018). These narratives are not only peculiar to beneficiaries of patriarchy (men) but can be equally subscribed to by women as an internalized experience through socialization.…”

Reporting child sexual abuse (CSA) to law enforcement institutions is the ideal child protection imperative. The role of parents in this process is unquestionably profound. Yet, there is limited evidence on parental perspectives on reporting CSA to law enforcement agencies in developing country contexts. We apply vignettes to describe the views of parents about reporting CSA perpetrated by “family members, schoolteachers, and strangers.” Data was collected from 89 parents from four culturally diverse regions of Ghana. A systematic inductive approach was used to determine patterns and similarities in participants’ attitudes toward reporting. We note that the attitudes of participants about reporting CSA varied considerably; these are influenced by the nature of social relationships between the victim and perpetrator. In a seeming order of severity, CSA perpetrated by a family member was viewed less seriously compared to victimization by a teacher or a stranger. The desire to preserve familial/kin ties and reputation and keeping to the cultural heritage of resolving “disputes and disagreements” amicably were primary norms against reporting CSA. However, attitudes toward reporting CSA by teachers were influenced by expectation of higher moral standards, which made reporting CSA by a teacher a reasonable cause of action. Positive attitudes toward reporting CSA by “strangers” were prevalent. Child protection programs must recognzse the segmented attitudes toward CSA and tackle the deep-seated cultural and social norms through social and behavioral change communication (SBCC).

“…The discourses on honour and use of different forms of patriarchal violence often inform many mundane and everyday processes internally among Dalit communities (Gorringe, 2018). Paik (2014, p. 85) argues that men’s assertions of Dalit rights and social status sometimes strengthen patriarchal formations and notions of masculinity in the community.…”

While contemplating on Dalit girls’ education, a large body of research and policy drafts generally draws from the integration of enrolment and appropriation politics (around being a ‘Dalit’ and ‘women’) to explore the educational experiences and challenges of Dalit girls in the Indian education system. However, less attention is given to what lies beyond the enrolment and appropriation politics in Dalit girls’ education. This article is based on an empirical study conducted among households associated with ‘Unclean’ occupations from two urban cities of Haryana. In order to position Dalit girls’ education beyond enrolment and appropriation politics, the article attempts to unmask the ‘multiple patriarchies’ embedded in the socio-economic barriers often pervading Dalit girls in the Indian education system. While doing so, the article demonstrates the inseparable intersectionality of caste and gender, through the workings of external Brahmanical as well as internal Dalit patriarchy simultaneously functioning against Dalit girls’ education. Eventually, the article calls for a need to position Dalit girls’ education in a Dalit feminist standpoint framework.

“…In India, women and girls who experience abuse, violence or harassment are often reluctant to approach the police for help for several reasons. Patriarchal beliefs of police officers towards women are one among many factors that shape this decision (Bannerji, 2016; Dhillon and Bakaya, 2014; Gorringe, 2018; Vishwanath and Palakonda, 2011). Women complainants who choose to come forward face many challenges, such as being humiliated, or ridiculed by police authorities.…”

“…Patriarchy is an ideology that imposes masculine and feminine gender roles that explicitly place men in positions of power over women (Rawat, 2014). Strongly held patriarchal beliefs are a common phenomenon in India (Bannerji, 2016), where women and girls are expected to adhere to rigid sociocultural norms, including domesticated roles for women, lack of acceptance of gender nonconformity, and dishonor placed on women for engaging in nontraditional behavior, such as wearing revealing clothes, drinking, not engaging in household duties, or prioritizing a career over family life (Chowdhury, 2015; Gorringe, 2018; Hundle, 2019). Officers may import these patriarchal and traditional perceptions about women into their policing efforts.…”

The objective of this study was to explore the association between patriarchal beliefs and perceptions regarding gender equity among Indian police officers. Using convenience and systematic random sampling, a cross-sectional survey was conducted with 190 police officers from Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. The survey collected information about patriarchal beliefs, perception regarding gender equity, as well as social demographic characteristics including age, education, gender, work experience, working shifts/hours, place of residence and family system. Multiple linear regressions were used to predict patriarchal beliefs, utilizing the independent variable of perceptions regarding gender equity. Police officials held a high degree of patriarchal belief and inequitable perceptions regarding the gender roles of women. Multiple linear regression analysis, controlling for key sociodemographic variables, demonstrated a statistically significant association between the police officers’ patriarchal beliefs and their perceptions of gender equity. These findings emphasize the need for greater representation of female police officers and gender-inclusive training for all police officers in providing services to women. Gender-sensitive interventions may help facilitate positive change for police officers that hold strong patriarchal perceptions towards women and who may make it more difficult for women to successfully submit gender-based complaints.
