“…Over the years, however, three counter-narratives have changed the campaign to stop violence against women in the Netherlands, to wit, minimization, gender neutralization and culturalization (Römkens, 2017). First, numbers on the nature and size of intimate partner violence against women are often downplayed by overstating violence against men, thus effectively discounting the violence as gender-based (De Vaan et al., 2013).…”

In a number of countries, domestic violence is represented as a governable phenomenon that is amenable to policy interventions. Over the past 40 years in the Netherlands, however, this approach has not resulted in a reduction of domestic violence. Yet new policy strategies continue to be designed to improve existing interventions. In this article, we focus on a Dutch policy measure that aims to detect early signals of violence and abuse. We argue that this strategy, by approaching domestic violence as a technical problem, fails to take into account structural and symbolic violence. As a consequence, the impact of domestic violence policies on women, particularly poor women, and especially women with a migration background, is to intensify their difficulties. Moreover, these policies deploy a technology that shapes the subjectivity of professionals engaged in protection practices, while maintaining the status quo of inequality and violence against women. The connection between these two flaws of domestic violence policies leads us to claim that the current approach is constituted as a regime of deficiency.

“…In this sense, the Dutch are supposedly without culture. Following Römkens (2017), such a narrative obscures intersectional analyses of intimate violence against women in which a complex of interrelated factors, such as migration, citizenship, economy, religion and inequality play an important role.…”

“…The 'gender-symmetric' view of partner violence is not just a controversial scientific position, but a political one as well: it is part of a worldview in which gender inequality in general is not seen as a structural societal problem. In the specific case of the Netherlands, social scientists investigating the perception of violence against women in public policy and wider society (Römkens and Lahlah 2011;Römkens 2016;Mellaard 2022) have described a major shift in how the Dutch government approaches and conceptualizes the violence: in the 1980s, domestic violence was explicitly treated as an issue of gender inequality, but over the decades this evolved into a genderneutral approach focusing on problems of individual couples, without much regard for the wider societal context. Crucially, this coincided with a shift in terminology: while previous policy documents talked about "vrouwenmishandeling" ("women's abuse"), a consequential policy document from 2002 -which provided the basis for a large number of publicity campaigns and intervention programs -instead established the term "huiselijk geweld" ("domestic violence") (Römkens 2010), which is gender-neutral and implies that the violence is essentially a private matter between partners.…”
