“…This finding implies that in spite of the occurrence of encouraging political and social changes in countries like Spain, violent behaviors in domestic contexts would remain culturally legitimized, which results from persisting beliefs about women's role in relationships (Albertín et al, 2018;Allen & Devitt, 2012;Alves et al, 2019;García-Moreno et al, 2006;Kimuna et al, 2012;Yamawaki et al, 2012). The cultural and cognitive legacy of women's submission to male figures and gender inequality throughout history often become social values and traditions that frequently lead to the justification or tolerance of male violence (Bosch-Fiol & Ferrer-Pérez, 2012;Esqueda & Harrison, 2005;Jankowski et al, 2011;Knickmeyer et al, 2010;Korpi et al, 2013;Peter & Drobnič, 2013;Valor-Segura et al, 2011;Worden & Carlson, 2005).…”

“…(Mouzos & Makkai, 2006;Taylor & Mouzos, 2006). At macro-social level, absence of legal enforcement, gender inequality, traditional gender roles, and victim blaming attitudes may result in neglecting or justifying IPVAW (e.g., Bosch-Fiol & Ferrer-Pérez, 2012;Peter & Drobnič, 2013;Zakar et al, 2013). Furthermore, even in the same region with a similar justice system, individuals from diverse cultural background would hold different attitudes regarding IPVAW, such as denial or acceptance of violence, because of the patriarchal social order of their culture (e.g., Erez, 2002;Yim, 2006).…”

According to United Nations (2012), between 15% and 76% women have been targeted for physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime worldwide, which makes violence against women become a serious social problem. The most common type of violence against women is violence perpetrated by a current or former intimate partner, including physical, verbal, economic, or sexual violence, which 30% of women have experienced when being in a relationship (World Health Organization, 2013). For the purpose of this article, intimate partner violence is used to define any form of physical, verbal, economic, or sexual violence perpetrated by a current or former intimate partner, a term used interchangeably in the literature with partner violence, family violence, domestic violence etc. Despite cultural, social, and economic differences, intimate partner violence against women (IP-VAW) is an evident health and human rights issue across the world, which can lead to negative impact on victims' wellbeing, such as poor sexual health, increased pain, and pharmaceutical prescription use (e.g., Cerulli et al., 2012; García-Moreno et al., 2006; Humphreys & Joseph, 2004; Moe & Bell, 2004). Besides, victims will also suffer from mental health burden, including, but not limited to, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (e.g., Lutwak, 2018).

“…Women tend to prefer forms that are less institutionalised and hierarchical, and more spontaneous and lifestyle-related, such as signing petitions or political consumerism (see, for example, Stolle and Micheletti, 2003;Coffé and Bolzendahl, 2010;Pfanzelt and Spies, 2019). By contrast, women are still less likely to become party members (Coffé and Bolzendahl, 2021), contact representatives (Coffé and Bolzendahl, 2010;Stolle and Hooghe, 2011), join formal associations (Peter and Drobnic, 2013) or take part in demonstrations (Gallego, 2007). Second, research indicates that the gender gap has narrowed and even been reversed for specific modes (Stolle and Hooghe, 2011) -especially for participation in protests, signing petitions (Durovic, 2017) and boycotting (Gallego, 2007).…”

“…Unequal losses in resources, coupled with social-contact restrictions and a concentration of governmental action on virus containment (Engler et al, 2021), may have limited women's ability to be politically active at a time when there were more reasons for women's participation, not fewer. These observations should be considered in the light of studies pointing to a persistent gender gap in political participation in pre-pandemic Europe (see, for example, Gallego, 2007;Peter and Drobnic, 2013;Durovic, 2017;Brandtzaeg, 2017), though the gap has been closing or reversing for some forms, such as voting or signing petitions (see, for example, Coffé and Bolzendahl, 2010;Stolle and Hooghe, 2011).…”

More stress, less voice? The gender gap in political participation during the COVID-19 pandemic

Initial fears of a standstill in political participation during the COVID-19 pandemic have not come true. Nevertheless, the voices heard in politics may have changed in such a radically altered social and political context. Specifically, the current article examines whether the gender gap in political participation has widened during the pandemic, reinforcing the gendered impact of the pandemic and state measures to cope with it. To empirically assess the development and drivers of the gender gap in political participation, we rely on original survey data for Germany collected in autumn 2020 and spring 2021. Based on retrospective questions about pre-pandemic behaviour and a within-pandemic panel, our results indicate three points: (1) the COVID-19 crisis has slightly increased the gender gap in participation; (2) COVID-19-related burdens (such as increasing care obligations) have not restrained, but fostered, participation; and (3) this mobilising effect is, however, stronger among men than women.

“…Furthermore, the cultural and cognitive legacy of women’s submission to male figures and gender inequality throughout history (Korpi, Ferrarini, & Englund, 2013; Lober, 2005; Peter & Drobnic, 2013) resulted in deeply rooted beliefs and in the denial or acceptance of such violence, which are contemporary facts (Bosch-Fiol & Ferrer-Perez, 2012; Jankowski, Johnsona, Holtz Damron, & Smischney, 2011; Knickmeyer, Levitt, & Horne, 2010; Worden & Carlson, 2005; Yamawaki et al, 2012). This has had a strong impact on women’s attitude, once their response to abuse is guided by the beliefs about themselves, marriage, and gender roles (Boonzaier & De la Rey, 2004; Megias & Montanes, 2012).…”

Despite the occurrence of encouraging political and social changes in the past few years, many beliefs about women's role in intimate relationships persist, influencing their response to domestic violence (DV). This study aims to analyze the influence of recent policies against DV in Portugal, concerning particularly intimate partner violence against women and their perceptions about the victimization process. Two samples of women (n = 126 each) reporting an aggressive act allegedly perpetrated by the current or former male partner were interviewed with a hiatus of 5 years (before and after some most relevant policy updates). Results suggest a positive influence of the recent policies against DV. Many significant and encouraging changes were found in the more recent women sample (S2) relatively to the first sample (S1) regarding their information, awareness, perceptions, and attitudes toward DV. They seem to show less tolerance and endurance to DV, placing responsibility on the offender, as well as seem more empowered to report. In S2, there was a decrease in the acceptance of violent behaviors as normal and of reasons to explain violence; the fears, shame, and helplessness about DV; the elapsed time between the beginning of the abuse and its report; and the prevalence of more severe types of physical abuse. In S2, there was an increase on the acknowledgment of DV as a crime, the number of reports in cases without cohabitation, the report of psychological abuses, and the feeling of safety and assurance while reporting.
