“…As families are important sites for identifying oppression and subordination (see Bhasin 2006;Millett 1970;Mitchell 1971;Oakley 1972), not only are they spaces where the production and reproduction of patriarchal attitudes and dominant conceptualisations of masculinity take place, but they are also reflections of -and reflected in -the broader structural conditions of society. In the context of Bolivia, the concept of 'machismo' is central to understanding family and gender relationships at an individual and societal level and, in turn, understanding violence against women (Freidric 2011;Hume 2008;Villereal and Cavazos 2005;Beattie 2002;Pena 1991).…”

Drawing on findings of an original 12-month ethnographic study, this article presents the challenges that Bolivian women face in accessing a new law that has been designed to protect them, Law 348 to “Guarantee Women a Life Free from Violence.” Data reveal that while the law creates opportunities for the (re)conceptualization of violence, mobilizing the law is fraught with difficulties and a culture of impunity prevails. The challenges of implementation are both nationally and internationally significant as other countries seek to enact similar legal strategies. In Bolivia, this article suggests, civil society organizations and women’s voices are central to the full realization of the law.

Despite the growing interest in tourism by gay men, there is little evidence (other than journalistic) of host communities' views towards such tourists. This paper describes a study of such views in a small Mexican beach destination popular with gay tourists. The village is also popular with heterosexual visitors and is known for nude bathing and drug consumption. Interviews were undertaken with a number of residents and revealed disapproval of the gay tourists. This was attributed by residents to overt sexual behaviour, and although there was no evident homophobia, it is postulated that this underlay the attitudes.
