“…Patriarchy has been a central concept in feminist explanations of violence against women since the 1970s [5,62] since it explicitly focuses on gender hierarchy, societal power arrangements and dominance. Hunnicutt defines patriarchy as "social arrangements that privilege males, where men as a group dominate women as a group, both structurally and ideologically" ( [62], p. 557).…”

Abstract:Immigration is becoming an increasingly important policy concern in Europe and in many other nations. Importantly, there is an ever-growing number of women who migrate, many of whom are undocumented. Violence against immigrant women is nearly impossible to estimate. However, immigrant women who are abused face multiple barriers to seeking legal protection from the abuse as a result of their migration status, their positions within family and the host country. This paper examines the issues related to intimate partner violence within the Albanian immigrant community in Greece. It explores how the situation in Greek society and the labor market (such as social policies, xenophobic attitudes, job segregation and the prevailing economic crisis) changed the traditional gender roles and distribution of the power within Albanian families and increased intimate partner violence (IPV). The study found evidence of an increase in IPV in the aftermath of the economic crisis, which could be explained by the ideology of familial patriarchy. Battered immigrant women also face challenges in the Greek criminal justice system, which is also influenced by patriarchal values, when they are seeking relief and assistance in cases of interpersonal violence.

“…Por esa razón, estos factores están presentes en muchos modelos multicausales explicativos que se manejan actualmente (Bosch & Ferrer, 2013;Heise & García-Moreno, 2003;ONU, 2006). Así, se parte de considerar que la presencia de creencias y pensamientos erróneos y estereotipados sobre los roles de género y sobre la supuesta inferioridad de las mujeres (y su consecuente supeditación a los varones en la sociedad y la familia) y de ideas distorsionadas sobre la legitimidad de la violencia contra ellas (como forma adecuada y aceptable de resolver conflictos interpersonales), constituirían un elemento común y característico de los agresores en los casos de violencia contra las mujeres (Bosch & Ferrer, 2013;DeKeseredy, 2011;Heise, 1998;Hunnicutt, 2009;ONU, 2006;Sugarman & Frankel, 1996;UNIFEM, 2010). Por tanto, se trata de una cuestión clave a abordar en las intervenciones dirigidas a ellos.…”

ResumenDesde 1994 se aplican en España programas de intervención para maltratadores en casos de violencia contra las mujeres en la pareja, inicialmente de modo puntual y de forma cada vez más generalizada. Este trabajo analiza los efectos de estos programas sobre las distorsiones cognitivas, medidas con el Inventario de Pensamientos Distorsionados sobre la Mujer y la Violencia (IPDMV). Para ello se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica sobre el tema, identificando un total de 182 registros, correspondientes a trabajos realizados en España y hechos públicos entre 1994 y enero de 2014. De ellos, se incluyeron en el estudio meta-analítico 7 registros, que informan sobre 10 intervenciones. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que estos programas obtienen resultados no concluyentes, e, incluso, contradictorios en cuanto a sus efectos sobre las distorsiones cognitivas. Se analizan estos resultados, así como su alcance y limitaciones, particularmente en lo relativo al instrumento de medida aplicado.Palabras clave: maltratadores, violencia en la pareja, rehabilitación psicosocial, distorsiones cognitivas, meta-análisis AbstractSince 1994 batterer intervention programs are implemented in Spain in cases of intimate partner violence against women, initially of a puntual mode and increasingly in a widespread form. The aim of this paper is to analyze the effects that the intervention programs implemented in Spain with batterers in cases of intimate partner violence have on cognitive distortions, measured by the Inventory of Distorted Thoughts on Women and Violence (IPDMV). A systematic review of the scientific literature identified a total of 182 records, corresponding to studies realized in Spain and published between 1994 and January 2014. Of these, 7 records, reporting from 10 interventions, were included in the meta-analytic study. The results show that these programs get results inconclusive, and even contradictory in their effects on cognitive distortions. These results as well as its scope and limitations are discussed, particularly in relation to the measuring instrument applied.

“…Gender inequality is a result of the persistent discrimination experienced by one group of people based upon gender and manifests differently according to race, culture, politics, country, and economic situation (Neumark, 1993). It is considered a causal factor of violence against women (Hunnicutt, 2009). …”

“…These varieties are constantly shifting as power relations change in concert with other key changes (Hunnicutt, 2009;Patil, 2013). As referenced here, symbolic patriarchy opens up spaces to examine privilege and benefit infringements in normalized places (outside individual men and women) that sometimes benefits one gender and estranges the other, and other times happens in the form of "patriarchal bargain" as in the case of submissiveness in exchange for protection (Kandiyoti, 1988).…”

Rethinking Mindscapes and Symbols of Patriarchy in the Workforce to Explain Gendered Privileges and Rewards

In this article the authors contend that gender inequalities in occupational divisions of labor are better understood in reference to the concept of symbolic patriarchy. The conceptual framework is informed by social constructionist theories that view gender not merely in light of sexual or biological differences but as interwoven, fluid, and contesting boundaries of authority. The goal here is to locate the labyrinths of power and unequal treatment of women, evidenced through the "gender pay gap" and derived from the social landscapes and mindscapes of inequality. The study concludes that workforce-based privileges and rewards for men seem to be sustained and reinforced by patriarchal socio-cultural systems of inequality and domination that maintain visible and invisible mechanisms of power, privilege and influence in symbolic, figurative, and metaphoric cultural forms, rendering them the norm.
