Inhalt: Sexualisierte (Belästigung,) Diskriminierung und Gewalt (S(B)DG) ist ein gesellschaftliches Problem – und eines an Hochschulen, auch wenn dieser Befund nicht mit dem Selbstund Fremdbild der Hochschule als einer enlightened organisation (Schüz et al. 2021,S. 2) übereinstimmt. Durch feministische Bewegungen der 1970er und 1980er generellals Thema sichtbar gemacht, wurde es bereits in den 1990er Jahren ein gleichstellungspolitisches Thema an Hochschulen (z. B. Bußmann und Lange 1996). Seitdem scheinenErkenntnisse über S(B)DG an Hochschulen jedoch verloren gegangen (Schüz et al. 2021,S. 14) oder marginalisiert worden zu sein, zumal sich im Zuge der Institutionalisierungder Gleichstellung an Hochschulen Geschlechterpolitik und feministische Wissensproduktion voneinander gelöst haben (ebd., S. 15). Im Zusammenhang mit medialen Debattenum #MeToo erfährt das Thema seit einiger Zeit nun auch an Hochschulen (wieder) mehr Aufmerksamkeit.

Inhalt: This book takes religion as an entry point for a deeper exploration into why practices of gender-based violence continue and what possible actions might help to contribute to their eradication.
International donors are committed to reducing and ending gender-related harm, particularly violence against women, but clear answers as to why harmful practices persist are often slow to emerge. Theological research struggles to find strong links, yet religion is often referred to by local people as the reason for practices such as female cutting, male circumcision, early and forced marriage, nutritional taboos and birth practices, mandatory (un)veiling, harmful spiritual practices, polygamy, gender unequal marital and inheritance rights and so-called honour crimes. This book presents empirical cases of religious, non-religious and secular actors, including local and international governmental and non-governmental agencies in the fields of development, health and equality policies. Tracing their different understandings of how religion is entangled with gender-based violence both contextually as well as historically, the book sheds light on helpful and unhelpful as well as erroneous and harmful understandings of such practices in local and global perspectives.
Centralising the perspectives of women themselves, this book will be an important read for development practitioners and policy makers, as well as for researchers across religious studies, gender studies, and global development.

Diskurse zu Geschlecht, Sexualität und sexualisierter Gewalt. Heterogene Beiträge aus Wissenschaft und Praxis
Inhalt: Pädagogik, Beratung, Wissenschaft – Themen wie Geschlecht, Sex und sexuelle Bildung werden in den verschiedene Professionen in ganz unterschiedlicher Weise behandelt. Dabei findet in den einzelnen Teilbereichen eine zunehmende Abgrenzung und Ausdifferenzierung statt. Der vorliegende Band sucht dagegen nach dem Austausch zwischen den Disziplinen in Praxis und Theorie. Er zeigt die Perspektiven unterschiedlicher professioneller Akteur*innen auf und regt zur Entwicklung interdisziplinärer Zugänge an, die neue Perspektiven auf den jeweiligen Arbeitsalltag ermöglichen.

Stopping Gender-based Violence in Higher Education : Policy, practice, and partnerships
Autor/in:
Humphreys, Clarissa J.; Towl, Graham J.
Quelle: London: Routledge, 2022.
Inhalt: Stopping Gender-based Violence in Higher Education provides a unique insight into how gender-based violence at universities is impacting students and staff and outlines the path toward tangible changes that can prevent it. Bringing together perspectives from academics, activists, practitioners, and university administrators, the book presents a diverse range of voices to constructively critique the field.
Structured in three parts, the book begins by addressing the context, theory, and law that stipulates how universities can effectively respond to reports of gender-based violence. It goes on to discuss the most pragmatic ways to address the issue while contributing to prevention and supporting victim-survivors. Finally, the book advocates for the development of beneficial working partnerships with key external services available to university communities and also working with students as partners in an ethical and safe way. Throughout the book, contributors are invited to demonstrate a comprehensive institution-wide and trauma-informed approach to centre the needs of the victim-survivor and prioritize resources to undertake this vital work. Each chapter ends with a brief summary of key points or recommendations and suggested further reading on the chapter topic. Although the authors draw on research and policy from the UK Higher Education sector, the insights will be a useful resource for those in universities around the world.
This book is an essential reference point and resource for professionals, academics, and students in Higher Education, as well as indispensable reading for activists, policymakers, police, rape crisis groups, and other organisations supporting these universities who want to make meaningful change in reducing, responding to, and preventing gender-based violence in Higher Education.

The gender-sensitive university : A contradiction in terms?

Inhalt: "The Gender-Sensitive University explores the prevailing forces that pose obstacles to driving a gender-sensitive university, which include the emergence of far-right movements that seek to subvert advances towards gender equality and managerialism that promotes creeping corporatism. This book demonstrates that awareness of gender equality and gender sensitivity are essential for pulling contemporary academia back from the brink. New forms of leadership are fundamental to reforming our institutions. The concept of a gender-sensitive university requires re-envisioning academia to meet these challenges, as does a different engagement of men and a shift towards fluidity in how gender is formulated and performed. Academia can only be truly gender-sensitive if, learning from the past, it can avoid repeating the same mistakes and addressing existing and new biases. The book chapters analyse these challenges and advocate the possibilities to 'fix it forward' in all areas. Representing ten EU countries and multiple disciplines, contributors to this volume highlight the evidence of persistent gender inequalities in academia, while advocating a blueprint for addressing them. The book will be of interest to a global readership of students, academics, researchers, practitioners, academic and political leaders and policy makers who share an interest in what it takes to establish gender-sensitive universities"--

Inhalt: The agenda of respectful workplaces is no more urgent than in the context of workplace bullying, emotional abuse and harassment. This becomes even more significant in the face of mistreatment linked to social identity and national culture. The chapters constituting Section 1 speak to the spectrum of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention undertaken within and beyond workplaces to tackle workplace bullying, emotional abuse and harassment. As well as organizational-related mechanisms, therapy, collective action and legislation are described. Normative angles, the challenges of actual practice and the contours of effectiveness are pinpointed. The increasing recognition of the conflation between category-based harassment and workplace bullying and the burgeoning cross-cultural lens of the substantive area are captured through the chapters of Section 2. Identities revolving around gender, sexuality, disability, caste and ethnicity serve as markers for mistreatment, underpinning the need to explore the dynamics of these situations in terms of causes, manifestations and consequences. Variations in the unfolding of negative acts due to cultural influences have been found, emphasizing that though misbehaviour is universal, it has country-specific characteristics.

bff: Bundesverband Frauenberatungsstellen und Frauennotrufe; Prasad, Nivedita
Quelle: transcript, 2021.
Inhalt: Digitale Gewalt kommt nicht nur im öffentlichen Raum vor, sondern auch in privaten Beziehungen – und hat in Kombination mit häuslicher und sexualisierter Gewalt eine deutlich geschlechtsspezifische Komponente. Durch Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien haben Gewaltformen wie Doxing, Stalking, Hate Speech und Online-Belästigung und -Bedrohung stark zugenommen und durch die Nutzung des Internets ihre Wirkmächtigkeit verstärkt.
Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes liefern für den Umgang mit diesen Gewaltformen grundlegende interdisziplinäre Analysen und diskutieren sowohl juristische, technische und aktivistische Interventionen als auch Erfahrungen aus der Beratungspraxis. Dabei werden zentrale politische Änderungsbedarfe ausgemacht und entsprechende Handlungsoptionen aufgezeigt.

Prevention of violence against women and girls : Mainstreaming in development programmes
Herausgeber/in:
Bradley, Tamsin; Gruber, Janet
Quelle: London: Routledge, 2021.
Inhalt: „Prevention of Violence Against Women and Girls argues that women and girls are vulnerable across all areas of society, and that therefore a commitment to end violence against women and girls needs to be embedded into all development programmes, regardless of sectorial focus. This book presents an innovative framework for sensitisation and action across development programmes, based on emerging best practices and lessons learnt, and illustrated through a number of country contexts and a range of programmes. Overall, it argues that SDG 5 can only be achieved with a systematic model for mainstreaming an end to violence against women and girls, no matter what the priorities of the particular development programme might be. Demonstrating how the approach can be applied across contexts, the authors explore cases from the energy sector, health and humanitarian intervention, and from countries as varied as South Sudan, Myanmar, Rwanda, Nepal, and Kenya. Drawing on nearly three decades of experience working on gender, health, and violence against women programmes as both practitioners and academics, the authors present key lessons which can be used by students, researchers, and practitioners alike.“
