Inhalt: This research examines how poverty is perceived and deflected by a group of female cross-provincial marriage migrants in contemporary rural China. It presents accounts of poverty-related shame in everyday village life. Known as migrant wives, respondents in this research have experienced both absolute and relative poverty over the course of their lives. The personal lament of insufficiency and the social discourse of poverty respectively underpin internal and external poverty-related shame. Correspondingly, migrant wives employ strategies of recounting misery and redefining identity to normalise their poverty and their stigmatised social image, hoping to mitigate the psychological and social impacts of shame. This research contributes an empirical analysis to our understanding about the origin, manifestation, and impact of povertyrelated shame, which is usually a neglected consideration in poverty studies. It also sheds light on the gender-specified risks, burdens, and social expectation that affect migrant wives’ perception and experience of poverty.

Inhalt: This study looks at the equality challenges and opportunities for women with disabilities in low and middle income countries (LMICs) to participate and succeed in education, employment and motherhood. It is based on a systematic review of the literature from academic and non-governmental organization databases. The search of these databases yielded 24 articles, which were subsequently passed through open, axial, and selective coding. The resulting review found that women with disabilities in LMICs have severe difficulty participating and succeeding in education, employment and motherhood due to a number of interrelated factors: (i) hampered access to education, employment, intimacy and marriage, (ii) stigma and cultural practices resulting in discrimination and prejudice, and (iii) lack of support from family, teachers and institutions - all of which are exacerbated by poverty. Support from families, communities, the government, and non-governmental organizations improves women’s ability to fulfil their social roles (as students, employees and mothers), resulting in a better quality of life. Strategies that create awareness, minimize poverty and facilitate justice may improve the opportunities for women with disabilities in LMICs to participate in education, employment and motherhood, as well as their ability to succeed in these domains.

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.

Inhalt: Canadian novels have witnessed a movement from description to more different analytical and interpretative directions. Margaret Atwood's oeuvres are belonged to the postmodern literary field of feminist writing. Her fictions show a severe alertness of the relationship between chains and slavery, i.e. between women's requirement for relationships with others and her requirements for freedom and autonomy. In this paper, The Handmaid's Tale, Bodily Harm, Surfacing, and The Edible Woman will be surveyed in a direct relationship between politics, violence and victimization of female protagonists. An examination on Margaret Atwood's novels demonstrates that she is pioneer in the dimension of time by being a revolter against the patriarchal society.
