“…Although the regulatory framework in Romania has been revised, there are several limitations in the protection of women and authorities remain reluctant to intervene in DV situations, considering them as “private” matters (Rada, 2014 ). In countries such as Romania, Albania, Moldova, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan, most of this violence is unreported and police attention, as well as legal and social assistance, are very limited (Asay, 2011 ). In addition, negative experiences with the authorities in Romania, as noted by the experts in this study, may generate more reluctance to help‐seeking.…”

“…Our experts pointed out that rigid religious precepts and belonging to religious communities, such as Orthodox or Adventist‐Protestant, can prevent help‐seeking. Some evangelical churches from Romania follow beliefs such as those that promote the subordination of women, even legitimizing physical violence (Asay, 2011 ). This is exacerbated in women from rural areas (Chipea et al, 2011 ).…”

Immigrant women may be at higher risk of intimate partner violence (IPV) and may seek specialized services less frequently than other populations. In Spain, Romanian origin foreigners comprise the second-highest proportion among immigrant population. This study aimed to identify, from the perspective of experts, (1) the main barriers faced by immigrant women of Romanian origin in accessing specialized services for IPV in Spain; and (2) the most useful strategies to combat these barriers. A Delphi study was conducted with a panel of 23 experts. The coefficient r WG was calculated to established agreement among participants. The results showed 58 barriers and 31 strategies with high agreement among the experts (r WG ≥ 0.80). Barriers in access to services that were considered to be highly influential included: having been in the host country for a short time; lack of language proficiency; job insecurity; difficulty with family-work reconciliation; and fear of the social consequences for help-seeking. The strategies considered most useful were: facilitating access to the job market and decent housing; promoting a social support network; translating material

“…Posebno moč pri ohranjanju in upravičevanju nasilja nad partnerjem ima patriarhalni pogled na odnos, ko nasilneži (moški) z napačno interpretacijo svetopisemskih besedil, v katerih se moškemu pripisuje vloga voditelja oziroma glave družine, naloga ženske pa je, da se mu podredi, utemeljujejo svojo dominantnost in poudarjajo ideal poslušnosti žene (Asay 2011;Knickmeyer, Levitt in Horne 2010). Patriarhalna religiozna prepričanja so še zlasti močna v povezavi z drugimi dejavniki (revščina, sram), saj lahko nasilnežem pomagajo dvigniti občutek moškosti, kadar je ta občutek šibek (Levitt, Todd Swanger in Butler 2008).…”

Nasilje v partnerskih odnosih je oblika družinskega nasilja, ko v intimnem odnosu fizična ali psihična nasilna dejanja izvaja partner ali zakonec nad drugim partnerjem ali zakoncem, žrtve pa so lahko tudi preostali družinski člani. Njegova razširjenost je zaskrbljujoča in ni omejena le na specifične okoliščine. Najde se tudi v krščanskih družinah, to pa je pravzaprav zaskrbljujoče, saj bi pričakovali, da verno okolje spodbuja in omogoča varne in ljubeče odnose. V prispevku, v katerem smo z metodo sistematičnega pregleda literature analizirali 28 različnih raziskav o partnerskem nasilju v krščanskih družinah, predstavljamo ugotovitve, ki nakazujejo, kako napačno razumljena in zlorabljena uporaba krščanskega izročila in prakse – v povezavi z drugimi dejavniki – lahko pospešuje oziroma ohranja nasilje v zakonskem in partnerskem odnosu in kako ustrezno živeta in razumljena krščanska vera in duhovnost zagotavljata zaščito in podporo pri preprečevanju nasilja

“…Yet, other researchers suggest that aspects of conservative Christianity perpetuate and sustain IPV (Asay, 2011; Knickmeyer et al, 2010; Koch & Ramirez, 2010; Renzetti et al, 2017). Nason-Clark (1996) asserted that “biblical beliefs about the honor of suffering and sacrifice, the premium placed on the family unit, the dominant role of men in many religious traditions and the creed of transformation and forgiveness” often leads to tolerance of IPV among conservative Christians.…”

This study sought to understand the needs and priorities of the Orthodox Jewish community around intimate partner violence in a medium-sized midwestern city. Twelve Orthodox Jewish rabbis, Rebbetzins, and community members (including survivors) were recruited to participate in in-depth, semistructured interviews. Interviews were analyzed using Dedoose via a mixed content analysis approach. Interviews revealed four themes: (1) Orthodox Gender Norms and Socialization: Risk or Protective Factor? (2) Awareness of DV Services in the Community; (3) Barriers to help-seeking; and (4) Salience of Rabbis and Rebbetzins. Recommendations for culturally congruent programs and practices are discussed.
