Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper adopts a gendered perspective exploring how gambling by a male partner contributes to intimate partner violence (IPV) against women. Unstructured interviews with 30 women with lived experience of male partner violence linked to his gambling were analyzed using adaptive grounded theory. Gendered drivers of violence set the context for IPV experienced by these women. Their male partners held strict patriarchal views about gender roles, controlled decision-making, restricted the woman’s independence, and condoned using violence against women. Gambling by the male partner interacted with these gendered drivers to increase the frequency and severity of IPV. They prioritized their gambling above the family’s welfare, controlled household finances, and coerced the woman into providing money. Gambling created situations that increased IPV, including anger over losses, family stressors and conflicts, with violent backlash silencing the woman’s objections. Violence intensified as the gambling escalated, with short-term cycles of violence directly linked to gambling events. Women experienced financial, psychological, physical and sexual abuse, and patterns of coercive control that maintained a climate of fear. These findings reveal the centrality of gender inequality within intimate relationships as a foundation for IPV, which is then exacerbated by the perpetrator’s gambling.
男性伴侣的问题赌博如何导致亲密伴侣对妇女的暴力:性别视角
摘要本文采用性别视角探讨男性伴侣的赌博如何导致对女性的亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)。对30名女性的非结构化访谈进行了分析,这些女性都有过与赌博有关的男性伴侣暴力的生活经历。暴力的性别驱动因素决定了这些妇女遭受IPV的背景。她们的男性伴侣对性别角色有着严格的男权观念,控制决策,限制女性的独立,并纵容对女性使用暴力。男性伴侣的赌博与这些性别驱动因素相互作用,增加了IPV的频率和严重程度。他们把赌博看得比家庭福利更重要,控制家庭财务,强迫女方出钱。赌博造成的情况增加了IPV,包括对损失的愤怒,家庭压力和冲突,暴力反弹使妇女无法反对。随着赌博活动的升级,暴力活动愈演愈烈,暴力活动的短期循环与赌博事件直接相关。妇女经历了经济、心理、身体和性虐待,以及维持恐惧气氛的强制控制模式。这些发现揭示了亲密关系中性别不平等的中心地位,这是IPV的基础,然后被犯罪者的赌博加剧。
