Inhalt: This study examines the accessibility of women to Poverty Alleviation Programmes (PAP) in Kano State, Nigeria. The aim of the study was to identify the poverty alleviation programmes and assess the difference that exists btetween rural and urban women's access to them. The results revealed that there was no significant difference between the accessibility of rural and urban women to PAP in the study area (Chi-square value = 9.196 (df) 1, p = 0.002). Consequently, it is recommended that the government should ensure proper periodical assessment and review of the administration and implementation of PAP in the study area. This will make the accessibility of women to the programmes result oriented. This will enhance the achievement of proper awareness among women and increase their accessibility to Poverty Alleviation Programmes in Kano State, Nigeria.

Inhalt: In diesem Beitrag beschäftigen wir uns im Rahmen einer qualitativen Studie und unter einer feministisch-poststrukturalistischen Perspektive mit Frauen, die Gewalt durch Intimpartner überlebt haben und damit, welche Bezüge diese Frauen zu möglichem Femizid herstellen. Hierzu wurden sieben südafrikanische Frauen zwischen 23 und 50 Jahren in Interviews, die diskursanalytisch ausgewertet wurden, zur Geschichte ihres Gewalterlebens in Intimpartnerschaften befragt. Es wurde deutlich, dass die Frauen Gender-Identitäten entwickelt haben, die widersprüchliche und herausfordernde subjektive Erfahrungen mit Gewalt reflektieren und abhängig sind von dem spezifischen sozialen Kontext des Gewalterlebens. Auch schien eine Befassung mit potenzieller Tötung zu bedrohlich, und es wurde vor allem auf Weiblichkeit und romantische Liebe rekurriert, um den Verbleib bei den gewalttätigen Partnern zu rechtfertigen. Dies legt nahe, die Frage der Tötung von Frauen durch Intimpartner offensiver zu thematisieren, weil Frauen in Missbrauchsbeziehungen meist nur peripher sichtbar werden. (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: In this article, we explore how women survivors of intimate partner violence understand the abuse they endured and the possible link to intimate femicide. This is a qualitative study based on a feminist poststructuralist perspective. Seven South African women, aged 23 to 50 years, with a history of different manifestations of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) participated in open-ended interviews. The data was analyzed by means of discourse analysis. In their explanations, the women constructed gendered identities, which reflected contradictory and ambiguous subjective experiences. The women's understandings were filtered through the particular social context in which their abusive experiences occurred. The findings highlighted that contemplating femicide was too threatening, and consequently participants drew on discourses of femininity, romantic love, and others to justify their remaining in their violence-ridden relationships. It emphasizes the need for additional engagement in women's understandings of intimate femicide, as women who live in abusive relationships have largely been consigned to the periphery.

Inhalt: Objective: to review the scientific evidence on the links between substance abuse and violence in the female
universe. Methods: integrative review on the basis of Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health
Sciences Data, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online and Cumulative Index to Nursing and
Allied Health. The revision process was guided by the question: what is the relationship between substance
abuse and violence in the feminine universe? Results: from the literature search we identified 16 primary
studies. The synthesis of knowledge showed multiple face of violence against women, the risk factors associated
with emphasis on the use of psychoactive substances. Conclusion: evidence suggests that violence against
women can be physical, psychological and sexual. These bring significant implications for the physical and
mental health of the victim, making emergent the implementation of effective measures that help to reduce this
problem and to minimize the consequences.
