A viol��ncia dom��stica no seio da rela����o conjugal e a sua rela����o com o estatuto da mulher na sociedade

Domestic violence is one of the most serious problems that contemporary society faces. Domestic violence that specifically occurs between spouses is a particular case of domestic violence that has caused a high number of victims - mostly women - putting thus an enormous challenge to states with regard to combating this problem. In this thesis we intend to proceed with the study of this phenomenon in the Angolan context. The objective of this study is trying to understand how such violence is manifested in Angola, what factors may be at it���s source and what effects can be observed on the victims, their families and in society itself. Being the Angolan people strongly linked to traditions and customs, it seemed interesting to also address the issue of domestic violence under customary law. In addition to the problem of the study itself, we proceed to exposure and analysis of how the state and civil society have intervened in this matter. At the end of this study, we conclude that despite the fact that the issue of domestic violence has received more attention in recent years from the public entities and society in general, there is still a long way to go. This path involves not only more actions of the state but also a change of mentality, which can enable the break with social stereotypes in adopting a different behavior over the issue under review and internalizing that human dignity is the basic principle of any state that proclaims democratic rights.

School Directors��� Perspectives of Physical Education in El Salvador: A Qualitative Case Study

Youth violence is El Salvador���s most imperative social, economic and health problem today. In an attempt to contribute to youth violence prevention in the country, humanistic physical education has been implemented within schools. Using case study methodology, this study examines twelve Salvadoran school directors��� perspectives of physical education and physical education as a mean of youth violence prevention. School directors��� perceive multiple benefits of physical education including those related to student���s social and emotional health. School directors recognize physical education as a means of reducing violence because it keeps youth busy and provides an outlet to release stress. Results are discussed in relation to long-term violence prevention literature. Results suggest that it would be beneficial for school directors to understand the theory and goals behind humanistic physical education in their schools. Research maintains the continuation of research in the field of humanistic physical education in relation to youth violence prevention.

La agencia cognitiva como subproducto de la deliberaci��n p��blica

Between 2005 and 2007 the Ministry of Social Development of Uruguay implemented the National Plan for Social Emergency (PANES). One of the most outstanding results in the evaluations was the de-naturalization of some socio-cultural phenomena that were strongly rooted within society: domestic violence, social immobility, adult illiteracy. The consideration of these social phenomena as acceptable demonstrates the existence of mechanisms that generate irrational or adaptive preferences. What were the processes that aided in the de-naturalization of these preferences? The evaluation of PANES concludes that one way was the local participation in groups that promote a public deliberation. These results are consistent with the philosophical literature on the importance of deliberation and participation for developing capabilities and autonomy. The hypothesis is as follows: the participation in groups that involve public deliberation can lead to reversing the adaptive preferences that restrict personal autonomy through the creation of an intersubjective and cognitive agency. This agency has three features: a) it involves the expansion of an "inner space" into the person, b) it establishes a reflective distance that allows for the revision of preferences to reconstruct levels of self-esteem, self-respect and self-confidence; c) it is generated as a byproduct of activities set for other purposes.

Les perceptions de la sexualit�� et les relations de couple de femmes ha��tiennes immigrantes au Qu��bec : pour une exploration des rapports hommes femmes en Ha��ti

Ce m��moire a ��tudi�� les perceptions de femmes ha��tiennes vivant au Qu��bec depuis moins de cinq ans de leurs relations sexuelles avec les hommes et de leurs rapports de couple. Apr��s avoir opt�� pour une m��thodologie de recherche qualitative, la th��orie f��ministe intersectionnelle a ��t�� retenue comme cadre d���analyse. Des entretiens individuels semi-dirig��s ont ��t�� men��s aupr��s de 9 femmes ha��tiennes, ��g��es de 18 �� 60 ans et ayant immigr�� au Qu��bec depuis moins de cinq ans. Les perceptions des femmes de la sexualit�� ont ��t�� appr��hend��es comme ��tant un ensemble de discours et de pratiques inter reli��s, qui se construit d��s l���enfance, et qui reproduit les types de rapports in��galitaires entre hommes et femmes qui existent dans la soci��t�� ha��tienne et dans leur couple. Ces rapports in��galitaires sont v��hicul��s entre les g��n��rations �� travers la plupart des institutions sociales comme la famille, l�����cole, la culture, la l��gislation. Ce processus de construction des perceptions de la sexualit�� est ��galement influenc�� par des enjeux socio-��conomiques et de pouvoir. Les r��sultats de cette recherche permettent de disposer de donn��es scientifiques sur la sexualit�� des femmes et les rapports de couple en Ha��ti et l���influence du processus migratoire. Ces r��sultats soulignent ��galement la n��cessit�� pour le travail social ha��tien d���encourager le d��veloppement de l���empowerment ��conomique des femmes et leur participation aux d��bats actuels de la soci��t�� sur l�����volution de la condition f��minine.

International Human Rights Movements and Protection of Women's Rights

This thesis is an attempt to explore the problems faced by Indian Women and to examine the ways in which the human rights of women could be better protected in the light of international movements with special reference to national legislation and judicial decisions.The evolution of human rights from early period to Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948 is traced in the first chapter. The second chapter deals with the evolution of human rights in India. The evolution of fundamental rights and directive principles and the role played by the Indian Judiciary in enforcing the human rights enumerated in various international instruments dealing with human rights are also dealt with in this chapter. The rights guaranteed to women under the various international documents have been dealt with in the third chapter.It is noticed that the international documents have had their impact in India leading to creation of machinery for protection of human rights. Organised violations of women's rights such as prostitution, devadasi system, domestic violence, sexual harassment at workplaces, the evil of dowry, female infanticide etc. have been analysed in the light of existing laws and decisional jurisprudence in the fourth chapter. The fifth chapter analyses the decisions and consensus that emerged from the world conferences on women and their impact on the Indian Society and Judiciary. The constitutional provisions and legislative provisions protecting the rights of women have been critically examined in the sixth chapter. Chapter seven deals with various mechanisms evolved to protect the human rights of women. The eighth chapter contains conclusions and suggestions.
