- Description
- Author argues in this paper that to truly understand the complexity and 'high prevalence' of acid violence against women in Bangladesh, we must pay attention to the confluence of political, economic and historical forces that make certain social groups more vulnerable to such extreme violence and suffering. By tracing the life history narratives of survivors of gender-based violence, author wants to shed light that acid throwing—a form of gendered violence—has to be understood beyond a 'culturalist' framework, which explains this phenomenon as a product of harmful patriarchal cultural practices, seemingly more prevalent in certain South Asian cultures.

- Description
- Eldery women in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa were killed because they were accused of witchcraft. For many years, the violence has had major effects on people’s health. Witchcraft accusations have been the source of people’s loss of limbs and deaths among elderly women in Africa. Although these problems have had effects on elderly women, there has been very little reconstruction of their history in Tanzania. Author wants to rewrite the history of the vulnerability of the elderly women to witchcraft accusations among the Fipa of Sumbawanga district of Tanzania. Author focuses in this article on the theme of the vulnerability of elderly women to witchcraft accusations in the context of Tanzanian women’s history and examines conditions that led to the vulnerability of elderly women to witchcraft accusations among the Fipa. Author also investigates the efficacy of the methods employed by the Tanzanian government in the suppression of witchcraft accusations in Sumbawanga.

- Description
- Author questions recent increasing femicides in Turkey through the examination of their reasons and dynamics. Therefore, author starts with analyzing current terms such as 'honor killing', 'töre killing' and 'crimes of passion'. Author claims that the recent description of the murder of women in Turkey as 'honor killings' is misleading. Turkey must employ finer distinctions among types of femicide so as to prevent murderers and the larger society from justifying such actions through claims of honor. This paper thus asserts that the analysis of femicide in Turkey, as a Muslim country, should go far beyond the context of honor killing and argues that such examination must consider new social and economic changes as well as the new status of women in modern Turkish society. Author raises a new argument by suggesting a new term, 'revolt killing', for conceptualizing femicide in Turkey in tandem with recent social change and the increasing status of women. Author argues that revolt killing is the concept of conflict between tradition and modernity, and it claims that recent increasing femicides in Turkey are closely related with the changing status of women towards modernity in contrast to the stability of men’s status in tradition.
