“…Similar results had been found in the studies of university students. A survey investigated Turkish medical students indicated that between 4.5% and 38.7% of the sample justified wife beating, and between 4.7% and 28.5% of the students took the position that the victims were responsible for IPV (Haj-Yahia & Uysal, 2008). Another study of the master of social work students revealed that more than 32% of the respondents blamed victims of IPV for provoking it (Black, Weisz, & Bennett, 2010).…”

“…28 Na intervenção dos serviços junto de vítimas de crime, os estudos focam-se sobretudo nas crenças e nas atitudes que influenciam a prática profissional, nomeadamente no que respeita à violência doméstica, quer nos profissionais de ajuda, 29,30 quer nos polícias, [30][31][32] bem como nas implicações que as mesmas poderão ter na vítima, sobretudo quando a mesma enfrenta exigências já acrescidas por ser de outra nacionalidade ou cultura diferente da dominante. 33 Quando se trata de mulheres vítimas imigrantes, para além da vitimação, enfrentam, no país que as acolhe, um conjunto de exigências acrescidas e/ou barreiras à procura de ajuda, 34 relacionadas com a língua e estatuto de residên-cia, 35 com a dependência económica, medo de pobreza e receio do sistema de justiça, com o desconhecimento dos seus direitos legais e opções/recursos existentes institucionalmente e na comunidade.…”

Introduction:Cultural diversity places increased demands on services to multicultural populations, so the development of cultural competence by help professionals is currently a concern in institutional practices. Material and Methods:This study evaluated the perception of cultural competence of help professional of three distinct areas: health services, social services and criminal police. Through an online questionnaire, we questioned the perception of cultural competence, at four dimensions: cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, technical skills, and organizational support. There were 610 participants, mostly female (58%), with a mean age of 39.74 years, developing activity in the social area (37%), health (33%) or the police (30%). Results:The professionals showed, in general, a positive perception of their cultural competence. Those who had formative experiences on the subject and had more time service, perceived themselves, significantly, as more culturally competent. Significant differences were found between professionals from different areas: health professionals were more effective in terms of technical skills, the social workers at the level of cultural knowledge and polices at the level of cultural awareness. Health professionals were the ones that showed a lower perception at the level of organizational support. Discussion: Despite the positive perception that technicians have about their awareness and knowledge of the values, norms and customs of immigrant communities, they realize technical aptitude as less positive, showing difficulty in practical application of their knowledge. Conclusions: Cultural competence has implications for good professional practice in serving multicultural populations, being urgent to invest in the development of culturally competent interventions to ensure more effective services, namely in hospitals and health centres.

“…Nine studies looked at attitudes toward intimate partner violence [41][42][43][46][47][48][49][50][51]. A tenth study on a social work practice scale to measure an Arab American women's definition of IPV was not included in this study due to the fact that this dissertation was not available to the public per author request.…”

“…A final study discussed IPV service response from the perspective of healthcare. Haj-Yahia and Uysal [49] found that while 5-39% of medical students in Turkey justified wife beating, most (68-91%) expressed a willingness to help the victims. Fewer (28.5%) believed it was the women's responsibility for the beating as about 50% held the husband responsible.Surprisingly, only 25% supported punishing male IPV perpetrators and a small minority of the students even believed that the wife somehow benefits from the abuse.…”

IntroducitonIntimate Partner violence (IPV) against women is a problem that unfortunately plagues all societies. The World Health Organization [1] survey estimates that as many as 69% of women in the world can be impacted by IPV. It can have significant psychological, physical, social, economic, and spiritual implications that can negatively affect future generations, social relationships, and productive capacity [2,3]. Many factors intersect with situations of partner violence to either enhance survivor resilience or to further complicate IPV situations [4,5].Religion is one of the factors that play an especially important role when it comes to situations of IPV. When studying IPV it is important understand the interplay between IPV and the multiple dimensional roles religion plays while intersecting with other dimensions of culture. No religion condones IPV and this behavior disrespects religious teachings that promote and peace and harmony. Yet many IPV perpetrators use religion as another weapon of abuse. As Marie Fortune [6], one of the pioneering faith leaders acting against domestic violence said: …abusers …misuse and distort scripture to justify their choice to harm another person because they have power over that person. It is very easy to misuse and distort sacred texts. All you have to do is to lift something out of context with no understanding or appreciation of its history and meaning and use it to justify your personal beliefs. When you combine that with a blatant disregard for the fundamental teaching of the faith tradition, you end up with a perverse, dangerous distortion which can fuel hatred and violence in direct contradiction to the teaching of the faith".Muslims, a religiously, culturally, nationally and socioeconomically diverse faith-based populace, bear no exception in escaping this dilemma [7][8][9]. Many abusers use religion and culture as an excuse to justify their actions despite obvious evidence opposing this behavior.Yet, like in many faith communities, it is only in the recent past receiving attention as a major concern in North America and globally. Some scholars suggest that the global Muslim community is in the early stages of considering IPV as a social problem of criminal nature [10][11][12]. This is also evident in the fact that no empirical articles written in English were found on this issue prior to the 1990s. Like many faith communities, the subject of IPV in Muslims communities generally tends to remain a taboo; there is either general reluctance or denial that IPV exists [10,13,14]. It may remain a topic hidden within many families and, once again, this guarded nature is reflected in the limited availability of research on this issue within the professional literature [8,15]. However, the works of a few activists, academics and grassroots level agencies have helped shed light on the gravity of this global issue in more recent times [8,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. These advocates, as part of an emerging movement, are revealing that IPV is a major problem afflicting Mus...
