The present research investigates the psychosocial factors influencing the enjoyment and proclivity to perpetrate nonconsensual intimate images (NCII) dissemination among 553 heterosexual, cisgender men living in Italy (M_age = 24.60, SD = 3.25). Overall, high levels of sexist beliefs were positively associated with rape myths endorsement and masculine gender role stress, which may contribute to women's sexual objectification. Women's objectification was directly linked to the increased likelihood of NCII dissemination. Hostile sexism, rape myths, and masculine stress were indirectly associated with abuse perpetration. A significant role was also played by approval seeking. Results are discussed, focusing on the implementation of evidence-based prevention programs.

We studied whether there are intergenerational transmissions of gender violence in Ecuador and which relationship is stronger on gender violence in the couple: male violence experienced in childhood or violence experienced by women. We applied a nonlinear probabilistic model based on the conceptual design of the ecological model. Our results confirm that, in Ecuador, the probability of gender violence increases if individuals have grown up in a context of violence. However, the probability is higher if men suffered violence during their childhood, further highlighting the urgent need for public policies that address early exposure to violence as a key factor in breaking cycles of gender-based violence. Preventive measures should focus on educational programs, social interventions, and stricter enforcement of laws protecting children from domestic violence.

The prevalence and adverse health consequences of family violence among pregnant women highlight a need to develop effective screening tools in antenatal care. We explored how antenatal care midwives at a tertiary maternity hospital in Melbourne perceive the use of technological screening tools for family violence. Seven face-to-face and 10 telephone interviews were conducted. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis. Five themes were identified: clinician readiness for family violence screening; challenges of existing screening protocol; enhancing processes with technology; fostering disclosure and help-seeking; and coupling technology with face-to-face discussion. Overall, midwives were receptive to computerized family violence screening modalities.

This article analyzes gender-based violence in a masculinized workplace within a public institution in Uruguay. Using a flexible qualitative approach, it incorporates participant observations and in-depth interviews to explore how different forms of gender-based violence-psychological, sexual, maternal mobbing, and institutional-overlap to shape women's workplace experiences. The study highlights that gender-based violence extends beyond explicit or legally recognized forms, embedding itself in everyday interactions, power structures, and organizational norms. It concludes that a gap persists between gender equality regulations and workplace practices, limiting their effectiveness. This research contributes to discussions on gender-based violence and labor.

This research explored the role of holistic-analytic thinking style in predicting the willingness to intervene in cases of intimate partner violence against women and donation decisions to nonprofit organizations combating this issue. Specifically, holistic individuals (as measured individual difference or manipulated state) were more willing to intervene and donate. These effects were mediated by participants' beliefs about intervention and donation contributions. Across three empirical studies, we used samples from different populations and different methodological approaches to increase the generalizability of our findings. Our research offers insights for nonprofit organizations combating this problem about how to increase fundraising effectively.

While present research investigates ingroup favoritism toward perpetrators of violence against women, few studies focus on how combinations of shared and unshared identity between respondents, perpetrators, and victims affect justice perceptions. Using a survey experiment with two domestic violence vignettes in Bangladesh (n = 698), this study introduces selective solidarity theory to evaluate how identity combinations influence retributive attitudes. Findings indicate reduced support for punishment when both parties share the respondent's religious identity and greater condemnation of religious outgroup perpetrators, highlighting the need for culturally grounded responses to group-based bias in justice.

This article enquires into the communication of femicides in Greece as a discursive struggle over the emotional and moral recognition of their victims, waged through social media platforms. It is, specifically, interested in how high-traffic Greek feminist community pages on Facebook and Instagram engaged with incidents of women killings in 2021, the year that femicide rates peaked in the country. The article suggests that these pages develop a feminist-populist critique of femicide caught up in the algorithmic bias of platformized communication and reflects on whether this critique can not only raise awareness of gendered violence but also highlight the structural conditions under which it occurs.

Sexual dating violence (SDV) is a global issue affecting young women, increasing health risks, including suicide. This study analyzes the relationship between SDV and suicide risk (SR) in 1,239 women aged 18-28 from Chile, Colombia, and Spain, using a cross-sectional, cross-cultural design. Prevalence ranged from 34.9% (Spain) to 50.3% (Chile). Victimization was linked to negative affect, social isolation, emotional suppression, and SR. A direct effect of sexual violence on SR was found only in Spain. Indirect effects varied, with mediators including negative affect, social isolation (Chile, Colombia), and emotional suppression (Spain). Cultural contexts significantly shape these dynamics.

Women's legal right to self-defense in Turkey is limited in practice, particularly under chronic abuse. This study examines how legal knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors shape self-defense. A cross-sectional survey of 392 women was analyzed to assess the impact of socio-demographic and cognitive factors. Attitudes significantly predicted behavior, while legal knowledge alone did not. Results highlight the influence of institutional distrust, stigma, and normative pressure. The study calls for feminist-informed legal reform and recognition of self-defense education as a collective right to resist gender-based violence, emphasizing structural inequality and the gap between legal rights and real-life agency.

This study examined prevalence and characteristics of nonfatal strangulation (NFS) in medical forensic examinations from 2017 to 2023. A retrospective chart review of 1,396 records revealed 243 NFS cases (17.4%), prevalence increasing from 13.3% in 2017 to 22.2% in 2023. Adult NFS comprised 15.2% of cases, children 2.2%. Analysis of the NFS group revealed partner/spouse perpetrators were most common overall. Children were most commonly victimized by friends/acquaintances. NFS disproportionately affected females (94.2% of all NFS cases). Among children experiencing NFS, minority groups were overrepresented, accounting for 74.2% of pediatric NFS cases. The COVID-19 period showed distinct changes in age-related patterns.
