“…As for gender equality attitudes, we found that people with more gender equitable attitudes presented more awareness, more proactive attitudes, less tolerance, as well as broader definition of serious violence behaviors. A similar relationship has been found between gender equality attitudes and prevalence of IPVAW in previous studies (e.g., Grabe et al, 2015;Heise & Kotsadam, 2015;Lasley & Durtschj, 2016;LeSuer, 2019;Zapata-Calvente et al, 2019). Stalans and Finn (2006) further uncovered that people who disfavor male-dominant relationships are more likely to believe that husbands' use of violence is intentional and unjustifiable.…”

According to United Nations (2012), between 15% and 76% women have been targeted for physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime worldwide, which makes violence against women become a serious social problem. The most common type of violence against women is violence perpetrated by a current or former intimate partner, including physical, verbal, economic, or sexual violence, which 30% of women have experienced when being in a relationship (World Health Organization, 2013). For the purpose of this article, intimate partner violence is used to define any form of physical, verbal, economic, or sexual violence perpetrated by a current or former intimate partner, a term used interchangeably in the literature with partner violence, family violence, domestic violence etc. Despite cultural, social, and economic differences, intimate partner violence against women (IP-VAW) is an evident health and human rights issue across the world, which can lead to negative impact on victims' wellbeing, such as poor sexual health, increased pain, and pharmaceutical prescription use (e.g., Cerulli et al., 2012; García-Moreno et al., 2006; Humphreys & Joseph, 2004; Moe & Bell, 2004). Besides, victims will also suffer from mental health burden, including, but not limited to, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (e.g., Lutwak, 2018).

“…Hudson (2009) stresses caution in this area, but comments "overall, the security framework does seem to have some positive impacts for women's rights activism" by providing political space and opportunity (p. 66). Following scholars that have argued for a structurally driven investigation of campus sexual violence that considers the systematic issues of gender and power (Khan et al, 2020;LeSuer, 2020;Moylan & Javorka, 2020), expanding campus sexual violence past acts of interpersonal violence that are isolated events into the realm of everyday terrorism that is upheld by politically and economically motivated institutions is needed.…”

This article investigates the ways sexual violence experienced on college campuses in the United States is situated within the neoliberal university. Feminist theories are utilized to explore the relationship between sexual violence and neoliberal ideologies. The authors evaluate how neoliberal tenets imbedded in higher education have contributed to, and exacerbated, an environment where sexual victimization is common. An institutional level of analysis is utilized to examine the neoliberal influence on campus sexual violence and investigate the utility of the term everyday terrorism.

“…Scholars have examined the association between violence and the amelioration hypothesis. LeSuer (2020) examined the International Dating Violence Survey for 29 countries. The findings demonstrated that intimate partner sexual violence was more likely to occur in countries with more gender inequality.…”

Inequalities have received a fair amount of study from criminologists interested in homicide and crime. The vast majority of the examinations exploring the relationship between inequality and homicide and crime have examined income inequality. Nonetheless, feminist theorists have stated that gender inequality may be predictive of all violence, not just female victimization. The UNDP gender inequality index was replicated for states in the United States and applied to overall, male, and female homicide rates. The findings demonstrate that increased gender inequality is predictive of increased overall, male, and female homicide. These findings illustrate that gender inequality is predictive of overall, male, and female homicide victimization.
