Seksuelle overgreb og seksuel chikane

"This book is the first comprehensive study of images of rape in Italian painting at the dawn of the Renaissance. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, Pâeter Bokody examines depictions of sexual violence in religion, law, medicine, literature, politics, and history writing produced in kingdoms (Sicily and Naples) and city-republics (Florence, Siena, Lucca, Bologna, and Padua). While misogynistic endorsement characterized many of these visual discourses, some urban communities condemned rape in their propaganda against tyranny. Such representations of rape often link gender and aggression to war, abduction, sodomy, prostitution, pregnancy, and suicide. Bokody also traces how the new naturalism in painting, introduced by Giotto, increased verisimilitude, but also fostered imagery that coupled eroticism and violation. Exploring images and texts that have long been overlooked, Bokody's study provides new insights at the intersection of gender, policy, and visual culture, with evident relevance to our contemporary condition"--

Ægteparret Mourad og Malika har barrikaderet sig fra hinanden og fra omverdenen i kælderen i huset i Tanger. Isnende kulde og tavshed har ødelagt deres forhold. Gradvis afsløres den begivenhed, der udløste krisen: Gennem datteren Samias dagbøger hører vi om en tidsskriftredaktør, som under dække af at ville udgive unge pigers digte krænker dem. Samia var 16 år, da hun mødte ham, og det fik fatale konsekvenser. Honning og Malurt skildrer et samfund, der er præget af korruption og dobbeltmoral, og blotlægger følelsen af skyld, tabet af selvagtelse, grænsen for hvad to mennesker kan magte.

"The third play in the award-winning Arctic Cycle on the impact of climate change Harveys suck. Whether hurricanes or Hollywood producers, Harveys are overpowered forces primed to prey on vulnerable people and ecosystems. Harveys especially prey on women, including the woman in No More Harveys, who flees her abusive husband - coincidentally named Harvey. Looking to forge a new path forward in a life gone astray, she heads for Alaska to trace the evolutionary path of the humpback whales. But migration isn't as straightforward as it seems, especially given shifting climates and an ecosystem primed to seek perfect homeostasis. In turns funny, insightful, and moving, No More Harveys presents a world dominated by colonialism, capitalism, and patriarchy where the problems that plague our communities, be we women or whales, share the same gnarled roots. No More Harveys is the third play of the Arctic Cycle, a series of eight plays that looks at the social and environmental impacts of the climate crisis on the eight Arctic states. It follows Sila, set in Canada, and Forward, set in Norway."--

"In 1977, Bonnie Robichaud accepted a job at the Department of Defence military base in North Bay, Ontario. After a string of dead-end jobs, with five young children at home, Robichaud was ecstatic to have found a unionized job with steady pay, benefits, and vacation time. After her supervisor began to sexually harass and intimidate her, her story could have followed the same course as countless women before her: endure, stay silent, and eventually quit. Instead, Robichaud filed a complaint after her probation period was up. When a high-ranking officer said she was the only one who had ever complained, Robichaud said, "Good. Then it should be easy to fix." This timely and revelatory memoir follows her gruelling eleven-year fight for justice, which was won in the Supreme Court of Canada. The unanimous decision set a historic legal precedent that employers are responsible for maintaining a respectful and harassment-free workplace. Robichaud's story is a landmark piece of Canadian labour history--one that is more relevant today than ever."--

Multigenre perspectives on shame and male self-esteem post-MeTooSince the ascent of the MeToo movement, male sexual abuse and abuse of power has come under necessary scrutiny, thereby impacting perceptions of male sexuality and the self-esteem of many men. While plenty of male abusers seem to experience no shame, some do, as do men who have not transgressed, but who may now be negotiating shame in relation to their gender and sexuality. Hybrid in genre, combining scholarly essays with short stories, personal testimonies and provocative and intimate artist's contributions, Shame! and Masculinity looks at the representation of male sexuality, fatherhood, violence, rape, fascism and virility, men and war. It shows works of art that deal with the intricacies and contradictions of these socio-cultural constructs and realities, and stimulates reflection on shame in collusion with masculinity, from male as well as female perspectives, with visual contributions by Jeanette Christensen, Marlene Dumas, Arnoud Holleman, Hans Hovy, Natasja Kensmil, Nalini Malani, Lotte Schröder, Artur Zmijjewski and Ina van Zyl.

An estimated 45.8 million people are enslaved in the world today. Although many have heard about human trafficking abroad, not many Americans are aware that sex slavery is a threat here in the United States. Our goal is to break the myth that sex trafficking is a foreign issue. It occurs right here in America, and Voices Against Sex Slavery in America points to different ways we can combat this illicit trade. We collected perspectives from survivors, family members of survivors, abuse counselors, law enforcement, policy makers, and scholars in order to effectively portray the scope of sex trafficking and how we can reach a solution. This book gives a very holistic version of what sex trafficking looks like in America and what we can do to end modern slavery. We want to encourage a multi-stakeholder approach to fighting sex slavery, where all these stakeholders unite their expertise to help as many survivors as possible.

Feminism is broken, argues Laura Kipnis. Anyone who thinks the sexual hysteria overtaking American campuses is a sign of gender progress is deranged. A committed feminist, Kipnis was surprised to find herself the object of a protest march by student activists at her university for writing an essay about sexual paranoia on campus. Next she was brought up on Title IX complaints for creating a ?hostile environment.? Defying confidentiality strictures, she wrote a whistle-blowing essay about the ensuing seventy-two-day investigation, which propelled her to the center of national debates over free speech, ?safe spaces,? and the vast federal overreach of Title IX.In the process, she uncovered an astonishing netherworld of accused professors and students, campus witch hunts, rigged investigations, and Title IX officers run amok. Then a trove of revealing documents fell into her lap, plunging her behind the scenes in an especially controversial case. Drawing on investigative reporting, cultural analysis, and her own experiences, Kipnis demonstrates the chilling effect of this new sexual McCarthyism on intellectual freedom. Without minimizing the seriousness of campus assault, she argues for more honesty about the sexual realities and ambivalences hidden behind the notion of ?rape culture.? Instead, regulation is replacing education, and women's right to be treated as consenting adults is being repealed by well-meaning bureaucrats.Unwanted Advances is a risk-taking, often darkly funny interrogation of feminist paternalism, the covert sexual conservatism of hookup culture, and the institutionalized backlash of holding men alone responsible for mutually drunken sex. It's not just compulsively readable; it will change the national conversation.

This book argues that the belief in a 'rape culture' is seriously distorting our discussion of sexual violence.

This book explores the various psychosocial, sociocultural, and contextual factors that affect the sexual health of Black students who attend Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and how this environment can help develop strategies to improve sexual health outcomes for its students.The college environment provides young people with a new sense of independence, self-determination, and peer pressure to engage in risky sexual behaviors, and research has shown that Black students at HBCUs bear a disproportionate burden of poorer sexual health outcomes than students at predominately white institutions (PWIs). Uniquely focusing on the sexual milieu of Black students, Hall-Byers explains why a better understanding of these settings is needed to guide successful interventions that benefit and support the sexual health of Black students. Chapters compare data and research on sexual health outcomes of young Black men and women in comparison to those at predominately white institutions, as well as looking at the role of HBCU campus contexts and cultures, the potential psychosocial and sociocultural influences, what culturally responsive approaches may look like, and recommendations on how HBCU campuses can increase positive sexual health, such as through access, collaborative efforts among administrative offices, and reallocating resources.Sexual Health and Black College Students aims to advance the translation of culturally grounded research into effective practice and is essential reading for researchers and practitioners in sex therapy, public health, and social science as well as for college health staff, including nurses, student affairs, and campus wellness centers.

Men who experience sexual abuse are often dismissed, only brought up as the butt of a joke, an exception to the rule or, perhaps worst, to be used as a rhetorical tool against female victims. Sons and Others offers a new way of seeing these men in our lives, and asks how the violence they experience affects us all.

Bagsidetekst:Når jeg dissocierer, kommer Jini frem. Når traumebiblioteket åbnes, skader hun mig. Når alkoholen flyder, og promillen stiger, tager hun over. Husk nu på, at det er for at hjælpe mig, at jeg skal dø. Jeg håber, at du vil lære mig selv og Jini bedre at kende i denne fortælling om en 6 måneders indlæggelse på psykiatrisk hospital, hvor du får indblik i en verden, hvor overlevelse kan være svær på grund af traumer fra overgreb og indre dæmoner. Jeg var en 28-årig kvinde med livet foran mig, men det føltes som om, det hele var forbi, når jeg lå på badeværelsesgulvet med et håndklæde viklet stramt omkring halsen. Er det en måde at leve på? Dyk ned i det sammen med mig og oplev en verden, hvor sindet åbner nye døre, når virkeligheden bliver for svær at begå sig i, og hvor håbet har en vigtig rolle.
