“…The enduring trauma suffered by females subject to rape in The Bahamas has been demonstrated by Williams et al (2021) and is consistent with studies from elsewhere, for example, South Africa, Oshodi et al (2020). Thus, rape is a crime which, in a sense, never leaves the victim (Indupalli & Giri, 2014). These findings confirm the apparent inadequacy of the current law which permits a man who has repeatedly imposed himself on his wife through actions which outside of marriage, would have been termed rape, to walk away free from a court of justice (Ward, 2022).…”

This study analyses the treatment of Bahamian women in heterosexual relationships by their intimate partners focusing on instances of sexual and psychological abuse. An internet survey obtained information from 464 married and 1,264 unmarried women currently in intimate relationships with men. Married women were more likely than unmarried women in intimate relationships to report non-consensual sexual intercourse. Married women who admitted to being victims of non-consensual sexual intercourse or reported having been raped by their husband were more likely to have been physically harmed by their husband than those who had not suffered non-consensual sex or rape. Likewise, psychological abuse was more evident in married than unmarried women. The results indicate that behaviours of concern are inflicted by men on their female intimate partners both inside and outside of marriage. The finding that abusive behaviours, including non-consensual sex and psychological abuse, are more common within marriage than outside of marriage requires further study.

“…The grounded theory approach also provided a space for women with little voice to air narratives that recognized and resisted inequalities. Women in the rural landscape of Sariska are relatively silent in public or community discussions on issues of inequality, often ''silently suffering'' so as not to bring shame on their families or provoke retaliation (Indupalli and Giri, 2014;Sharma, 2015).…”

Women’s risk and well-being at the intersection of dowry, patriarchy, and conservation: The gendering of human–wildlife conflict

Drawing on work in feminist political ecologies and employing a grounded theory approach, this article examines the socio-spatial links between the patriarchal tradition of dowry, tigers, and women’s well-being. It shows how a landscape governed for conservation purposes can produce embodied and material harm for women living under a patriarchal system. Focus groups conducted in eastern Rajasthan, India, reveal how human–tiger interaction, even if primarily potential rather than actual, initiates a chain of social impacts that presents severe risks to women’s well-being, mental health, and life itself. Analysis connecting the pressures of dowry (financial, physical, and psychological) to tiger presence helps expose the presumptions of unfairness, intra-household power dynamics, and hidden costs of human–wildlife cohabitation while supporting calls for the inclusion of women’s perspectives in environmental theory and management.

“…Dissatisfaction in relationships between intimate partners and early marriage are the causes of sexual violence on women. Sexual abuse on marriage pretext, violence during armed conflicts and violence by strangers are some forms of sexual violence (Indupalli & Giri, 2014). According to the United Nations Fund, in India, more than two-thirds of married women between age group 15 and 49 years are exposed to forced sex, rape and physical violence (Jiloha, 2015).…”

Sexual, physical or emotional violence against women in India is a serious form of exploitation that needs to be prevented in the nation. The objective of this article is to highlight the increasing rate, number and forms of this violence against women in the country. To protect women at individual level, it is essential to know about the forms and severity of the crimes. Further, this article is based on a theoretical analysis of a review of literature and the kind of offences women suffer. This article also analyses secondary data of National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) from the year 2016 to 2021 (NCRB, 2016–2021) which clearly reflects that crime against women has increased although it was only very low during Covid-19. This article also attempts to emphasise on the recommendations and efforts to minimise the crime against women with the help of stakeholders of the society.
