Lifestyle changes imposed by local governments to combat the pandemic exacerbated domestic violence, coining the term “Shadow Pandemic” by UN Women. This study explores the experiences of violence faced by married women in Kerala during the COVID-19 lockdown. A phenomenological approach was used to examine narratives from 35 women victims of domestic violence. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify significant themes. The findings reveal a spectrum of abuse, categorized into key themes: marital disharmony, constant surveillance, entrapment in fear, denial of freedom, challenges due to lockdown, and coping mechanisms. These themes highlight the profound distress and how women responded to the adversity. The lockdown-induced shadow pandemic has deeply affected women, illustrating the intersection of a global health crisis and a surge in gender-based violence. This study emphasizes the urgent need for comprehensive societal action. Prioritizing the well-being and empowerment of women is critical to ensuring their inclusion in the recovery process post-pandemic.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":44567,"journal":{"name":"Asian Social Work and Policy Review","volume":"19 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145181549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the initial stage, a secondary cross-sectional dataset comprising responses from 8072 South Korean adults was used to perform latent profile analysis. Subsequently, a multinomial logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the predictors of prejudice. The findings revealed five distinct prejudice profiles in Korean society. Additionally, realistic conflict factors, such as antipathy to additional tax payment and social mobility expectation, were identified as significant predictors of prejudice, alongside the scapegoat and social identity determinants. Based on these findings, the study concluded that prejudice toward social minority groups in South Korea is associated not solely with personal attributes or psychological characteristics but also with broader national and socio-institutional contexts. The results may contribute to the broader discourse on intergroup relations, presenting actionable insights for policy, educational initiatives, and subsequent scholarly inquiry.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":44567,"journal":{"name":"Asian Social Work and Policy Review","volume":"19 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144918727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the predictors of happiness and well-being among women working in a modern corporate environment. With the growing emphasis on workplace happiness, especially among young generations, this research explores factors such as job experience, job performance, job satisfaction, organizational environment, professional development, and psychological empowerment. Using a cross-sectional design, data were collected from 400 female employees in Lahore's corporate sector through structured questionnaires. The study employs structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze the relationships between the predictors and outcomes of happiness and well-being. The findings suggest that job satisfaction, professional development, and a supportive organizational environment significantly enhance happiness and well-being. However, psychological empowerment has a more complex effect, negatively impacting well-being when employees face stress and responsibility overload. The insights underscore the importance of cultivating a balanced and supportive work environment to enhance employee happiness and well-being, ultimately benefiting organizational performance.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":44567,"journal":{"name":"Asian Social Work and Policy Review","volume":"19 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144832920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis revealed that 24.85% faced high food insecurity risk and 45.49% had multiple chronic diseases. Those at high risk for both conditions were more likely to be female, less educated, unemployed, and in low-income households. Even after controlling for sociodemographic and disability-related factors, those at a higher risk of food insecurity were significantly more likely to have multiple chronic diseases. This result indicates that food security can play a protective role in reducing the risk of multiple chronic diseases.

Based on the data set used for empirical analysis, a multilevel model was used to control the effect of intraclass correlation. The findings of this study confirmed that Zakat spending by the public sector reduces deprivation in education. Hence, the households benefiting from Zakat allocations are less likely to face barriers in accessing education. Furthermore, the study shows that educated and female-headed households are less likely to experience deprivation, emphasizing the importance of empowering such households as a strategy to reduce educational inequality. However, the mechanism of <i>Zakat</i> disbursement should be refined and made transparent to pursue SDGs by empowering individuals through quality education, vocational training, and enhancing technical skills, which may ultimately reduce poverty in the country.
