“…Nevertheless, VAW is pervasive across all cultures. Of course, causes, patterns and contexts that trigger VAW vary from region to region and across culture, class, race and caste (Das et al 2015; Das et al 2016; Fulu et al 2013; Jewkes et al 2013; Oudesluys-Murphy et al 2015; Samarasekera and Horton 2015). This research however is not on VAW, but demonstrates as to how the subtle norms of socialisation process, legitimised by the gendered patriarchal relations, govern the everyday lives of the participants considered for this research (see for instance, Chakrabarty 2006, 2012; Vauquline 2015).…”

Postcolonial India is a complex and paradoxical mix of sociocultural practices and modernity. This tension is especially apparent and holds particular significance, with respect to women’s changing roles. Driving this research is a concern to probe the position of women, pursuing higher education, as daughters/daughter(s)-in-law and wife within the family. The article focuses on the specific case of Assam, located in the northeastern region of India and, within it, a sub-population of young, middle-class Assamese women. The research considers the notions of Pierre Bourdieu’s ‘symbolic violence’ and ‘misrecognition’ as well as feminist literature to examine how unequal gender relations in Assamese society are reproduced and sustained. It draws upon in-depth interviews conducted with a sample of students pursuing higher education in five different educational institutions of Assam. The narrative analysis reveals the conflicting but often-contradictory process of women’s changing roles, particularly of those women who are married and play simultaneously the roles of daughter(s)-in-law and wives. The findings demonstrate that the subtle process of socialisation (and cultural values) that stem from patriarchal power relations are so deeply entrenched within the Assamese society that these highly educated middle-class women continue to be subjected to symbolic power maintained by misrecognition.

“…In 1993, the United Nations General Assembly designated violence against women as an act of gender-based violence that results in or is likely to cause physical, sexual, or mental harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion, or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or private life [8]. Studies have shown that violence against women and children increases with alcohol and drug use, mental health issues, and inadequate housing [5,3].…”

Like many other countries in the world, Kosovo has faced a severe public health situation as a result of COVID-19. Kosovar society has been quarantined to protect it from the spread of COVID-19. Putting the community into quarantine has had a positive effect on stopping the spread of COVID-19; however, it has harmed domestic violence in Kosovar society, increasing the number of cases. This study aims to show the extent of violence and the causes of domestic violence in Kosovar society. The survey results show that domestic violence in Kosovo has increased (by 19.75 %) during the COVID-19 pandemic compared with the same months in the previous year (2019). The leading causes of domestic violence are stress (18.9 %), socio-economic insecurity (11.4 %), and a lack of physical space in the house/apartment (4.4 %).
