“…Western males not understanding Thai customs and traditions), immature behaviour by their partners, and infidelity on the husband’s behalf. Research findings support some of the women’s explanations; increased risk of IPV among female immigrants has previously been found to be related to males’ heavy alcohol consumption, poverty and lack of education [42–45], male psychopathology [27,46], and family dysfunction and intercultural differences [46–48]. At the individual level, research indicates that a combination of alcohol use, mental health problems and gender role expectations affects the relationship and, in turn, seems to reinforce and increase violence against women [49].…”

Background: Intimate partner violence by men against women has detrimental effects on equality, health and integration. Migrated and ‘imported’ wives experience an increased risk of intimate partner violence. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore Thai immigrant women’s lived experiences of intimate partner violence in Sweden. Method: Semi-structured interviews based on the critical incident technique with specific questions about experiences of male-to-female intimate partner violence were used to collect data. The participants were Thai immigrant women who had lived in Sweden for more than five years. Qualitative content analysis was used to identify patterns and variations in the transcribed data material. Results: Eighteen interviewees reported psychological, physical, economic and/or sexual violence in their international marriages. These Thai women described being faithful and silent and reliable housewives. However, this did not keep them from being replaced and losing dignity as a result of intimate partner violence, including experiencing broken dreams and deception. Although their dreams were broken, they did not give up their efforts to achieve better lives in Sweden. Conclusions: The vulnerability of imported wives in international marriages needs to be further recognised by health and welfare agencies in Sweden, as elsewhere, to ensure that these women have equal access to human rights, welfare and health as other citizens. From a health promotion perspective, home-based health check-ups are needed to stop the exploitation of imported wives. In Thailand, information and education about the unrecognised negative conditions of the Mia farang role (Imported wife role) need to be disseminated.

“…Dados epidemiológicos (Galvani, 2006;Kronbauer & Meneghel, 2005;Krug et al, 2003) indicam que em mais de 60% dos casos de violência tanto vítima quanto agressor não concluíram o Ensino Fundamental, e que entre os perpetradores, de 15 a 45% são usuários de bebidas alcoólicas e/ou de substâncias tóxicas.…”

ResumoO objetivo da presente pesquisa foi compreender a etiologia da violência de gênero usando a Teoria Bioecológica do Desenvolvimento Humano. A abordagem bioecológica concebe a violência de gênero como um fenômeno multidimensional embasado em uma interação de diversos fatores. Assim, neste artigo emprega-se o modelo bioecológico como uma ferramenta heurística para organizar esses fatores em quatro níveis: pessoal, que compreende as características biológicas e psicológicas da pessoa; processual, que envolve as interações interpessoais; contextual, que inclui os aspectos da rede de apoio social, da comunidade, da cultura da pessoa; e temporal, que corresponde à intrageracionalidade, intergeracionalidade e transgeracionalidade. Os autores sugerem que o modelo proposto é um instrumento útil para guiar futuras investigações científicas e intervenções. Palavras-chave: Violência de gênero; violência doméstica; violência contra a mulher; desenvolvimento humano. AbstractThe purpose of the present study was to examine the etiology of gender violence using the Bioecological Theory of Human Development. Such approach considers gender violence as a multidimensional phenomenon grounded in an interrelationship among several factors. Thus, this model is an heuristic tool that organizes several factors into four levels: personal (biological and psychological characteristics), processing (interpersonal interaction), contextual (social support network, community, and culture), and temporal (intra-, inter-, and trans-generational). The authors suggest that the proposed model is a useful tool for guiding future research studies and interventions.

“…Research exploring the link between alcohol use and IPV has repeatedly failed to differentiate the nature of men_s violence to women from men_s violence to men (Galvani 2006). Accordingly, the most prevalent conclusion in feminist research on IPV is that the impact of intoxication is not significant in domestic violence (Galvani 2006). Meta-analytic reviews evaluating the evidence on the relationship between drug use and IPV concludes that increases in drug use and drug-related problems are significantly associated with increases in IPV (Moore et al 2007;Testa 2004).…”

This article reports a study of women victimized by intimate partner violence (IPV). We describe three interactional aspects of IPV: (1) responses and conduct before, during, and after IPV episodes, (2) impact of alcohol and drug intoxication, and (3) Predictors of risk for IPV victimization in more than one partnership. A representative sample of 157 help-seeking women, recruited from family counseling offices, the police and shelters, were interviewed about physical, psychological and sexual IPV. The nature and characteristics of the IPV interactions were complex and heterogeneous. There were significant interactional differences between the IPV categories concerning the women_s responses and conduct before, during and after the IPV. The impact of alcohol and drug intoxication was relatively small on the occurrence of IPV. About 75% reported that neither the perpetrator nor the female victim had consumed alcohol or drugs before the index IPV exposure. Only 23% of the women had experienced IPV by previous partners. Women who had been subjected to sexual abuse in their family of origin were at almost 25 times increased risk of IPV victimization in more than one partnership. Childhood exposure to physical IPV between parents increased the risk of IPV victimization in more than one partnership significantly more than if the woman had been subject to childhood physical victimization.
