“…At the same time, contradictions between religious agendas and health promotion should be taken into account in the advancement and implementation of faithbased models of care [76,77]. Particularly, controversies around religious treatment of homosexuality may hinder universal care targeting all survivors, and especially the LGBT population.…”

“…Again, it was not clear how these groups engaged with males (or not) and how beneficial it was to male survivors of CRSV. Moreover, although research suggests that faith-based organisations can be effective in promoting health in areas as diverse as primary prevention, general health maintenance, cardiovascular health and cancer prevention [75], there are still controversies associated with some specific religious agendas that might conflict with core values of the rights-based westernised policy agenda [76,77]. We identified an advocacy intervention that offered support to survivors through religious discourses on sexual violence.…”

Conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) against women and girls has been the subject of increasing research and scholarship. Less is known about the health of men, boys and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) and other gender non-binary persons who survive CRSV. This paper is the first systematic realist review on medical, mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) interventions that focusses on male and LGBT survivors of CRSV. The review explores the gender differences in context, mechanisms and outcomes that underpin interventions addressing the health and psychosocial wellbeing of male and LGBT survivors. The aim is to contribute to the design and delivery of gender-sensitive and, when needed, gender-specific approaches for interventions that respond to specific needs of different groups of all survivors. We conducted a systematic search of academic and grey literature to identify medical and MHPSS interventions that included men, boys and LGBT survivors. We identified interventions specifically targeting women and girls that we used as comparators. We then purposively sampled studies from the fields of gender and health, and sexual abuse against men and LGBT people for theory building and testing. We identified 26 evaluations of interventions for survivors of CRSV. Nine studies included male survivors, twelve studies focussed exclusively on female survivors and one study targeted children and adolescents. No intervention evaluation focussed on LGBT survivors of CRSV. The interventions that included male survivors did not describe specific components for this population. Results of intervention evaluations that included male survivors were not disaggregated by gender, and some studies did not report the gender composition. Although some mental health and psychosocial consequences of sexual violence against men and boys may be similar among male and female survivors, the way each process trauma, display symptoms, seek help, adhere to treatment and improve their mental health differ by gender. Initiatives targeting male and LGBT survivors of CRSV need to be designed to actively address specific gender differences in access, adherence and response to MHPSS interventions. Models of care that are gender-sensitive and integrated to local resources are promising avenues to promote the health of male and LGBT survivors of CRSV.

“…Kadar jo dobijo, je to lahko ključnega pomena pri urejanju nasilja. Žrtve poudarjajo, da jim pomaga, če jim skupnost prisluhne, verjame in daje podporo pri ukrepanju (Pyles 2007;St. Vil idr.…”

“…Podporna mreža žrtvam nasilja, kjer obstaja v cerkveni skupnosti, je žrtvam v veliko pomoč. Proaktivno sodelovanje med verskimi institucijami in drugimi službami je dobra praksa, verska skupnost pa je velikokrat spregledana moč pri delovanju proti nasilju v družini (Pyles 2007).…”

Nasilje v partnerskih odnosih je oblika družinskega nasilja, ko v intimnem odnosu fizična ali psihična nasilna dejanja izvaja partner ali zakonec nad drugim partnerjem ali zakoncem, žrtve pa so lahko tudi preostali družinski člani. Njegova razširjenost je zaskrbljujoča in ni omejena le na specifične okoliščine. Najde se tudi v krščanskih družinah, to pa je pravzaprav zaskrbljujoče, saj bi pričakovali, da verno okolje spodbuja in omogoča varne in ljubeče odnose. V prispevku, v katerem smo z metodo sistematičnega pregleda literature analizirali 28 različnih raziskav o partnerskem nasilju v krščanskih družinah, predstavljamo ugotovitve, ki nakazujejo, kako napačno razumljena in zlorabljena uporaba krščanskega izročila in prakse – v povezavi z drugimi dejavniki – lahko pospešuje oziroma ohranja nasilje v zakonskem in partnerskem odnosu in kako ustrezno živeta in razumljena krščanska vera in duhovnost zagotavljata zaščito in podporo pri preprečevanju nasilja

Religious congregations are uniquely poised to provide programs to support survivors of violence against women; yet little is known regarding the prevalence of such programs. In this study, we used data from three waves of the National Congregation Study (N = 3334) to examine change across time in the presence of a congregational program to support survivors of sexual assault or domestic violence. We also explored results among different Christian religious traditions across time. Given the gendered nature of this violence, we also tested whether the (a) gender of the head clergy (i.e., religious leader), and (b) ability of women to serve in congregational leadership roles predicted the presence of programs. As points of comparison, we also examined the total number of congregational social service programs and food programs in particular. Overall, we found different patterns of change across religious traditions for the different programs. Moreover, clergy gender and the ability of women to serve in leadership roles predicted the presence of different types of programs. Limitations, implications, and directions for future research also are discussed.
