“…Komter (1989) proposed the concepts of manifest power and invisible power, where the manifest power concerns the visible outcomes of power in occasions such as open conflicts. This type of power is commonly seen in studies of family violence (Sato et al, 2015), workplace dispute (Edwards, 2006) and so on. When studying the conflicts on shared space for mobility, the manifest power could be interpreted as the differences in speed and size of the two parties.…”

“…Even though gender norms can be either barriers or facilitators to equality (Connell , Connell and Pearse ), health promotion and international development actors tend to look mostly at harmful and discriminatory gender norms (Berkowitz , Elsenbroich and Gilbert 2014a, Harper and Marcus , Mehta and Gopalakrishnan , Pearse and Connell , Sato et al . , Temmerman , Usdin et al . ).…”

Two streams of theory and practice on gender equity have begun to elide. The first is work conducted to change social norms, particularly using theory that emerged from studies in social psychology. The second is work done on gender norms, emerging historically from feminist scholars working to counter gender inequality. As these two streams of work intersect, conceptual clarity is needed to understand differences and similarities between these two traditions. Increased clarity will improve efforts to address harmful norms and practices. In this article, we review similarities and differences between social and gender norms, reviewing the history of the concepts and identifying key tension points of contrast. We identified six areas of comparison that might be helpful for practitioners working for the promotion of global health as they make sense of social and gender norms. We then offer a definition of gender norms for practitioners and researchers working at the intersection between these two theories. Our definition draws from the two different streams of thought of how norms influence people's actions, acknowledging the double nature of gender norms: beliefs nested in people's minds and embedded in institutions that profoundly affect health-related behaviours and shape differential access to health services.

“…Often times the amount of dowry determines both a woman’s status in the family and the value of her opinion in the in-laws’ house, particularly in rural areas and urban slums [ 10 , 30 ]. However, a contradiction among women regarding IPV was observed by Sato et al, 2015 [ 31 ], who found that women tend to accept IPV in specific contexts, and these contexts contradict their general statement on IPV. Because of these ambiguities, we considered four specific contexts for spousal physical violence and women’s opinion of each.…”

Women’s opinion on the justification of physical spousal violence: A quantitative approach to model the most vulnerable households in Bangladesh

Bangladesh is a culturally conservative nation with limited freedom for women. A number of studies have evaluated intimate partner violence (IPV) and spousal physical violence in Bangladesh; however, the views of women have been rarely discussed in a quantitative manner. Three nationwide surveys in Bangladesh (2007, 2011, and 2014) were analyzed in this study to characterize the most vulnerable households, where women themselves accepted spousal physical violence as a general norm. 31.3%, 31.9% and 28.7% women in the surveys found justification for physical violence in household in 2007, 2011 and 2014 respectively. The binary logistic model showed wealth index, education of both women and their partner, religion, geographical division, decision making freedom and marital age as significant household contributors for women’s perspective in all the three years. Women in rich households and the highly educated were found to be 40% and 50% less likely to accept domestic physical violence compared to the poorest and illiterate women. Similarly, women who got married before 18 years were 20% more likely accept physical violence in the family as a norm. Apart from these particular groups (richest, highly educated and married after 18 years), other groups had around 30% acceptance rate of household violence. For any successful attempt to reduce spousal physical violence in the traditional patriarchal society of Bangladesh, interventions must target the most vulnerable households and the geographical areas where women experience spousal violence. Although this paper focuses on women’s attitudes, it is important that any intervention scheme should be devised to target both men and women.
