Studies have revealed that women and girls are much more likely to be victims, and, in most instances, the perpetrator is known to the victim. This crime has irrepressibly posed great threats to the human rights of women and girls, both locally and internationally, laying serious foundations for engrained progress on women`s rights. This study adopts a qualitative document analysis to examine the phenomenon and suggest a community policing approach—among other preventive policy recommendations—as a paradigm shift in strategy to resolve the crisis in South Africa as well as prevent the future occurrence of such a menace in the country. The findings highlight that the preponderance of criminal justice interventions has resulted in gender-based violence being framed as a problem of criminal law and procedure, police investigation, and appropriate counselling programmes for both victims and perpetrators. However, this approach emphasises amelioration rather than prevention. Hence, the need for community policing as a prevention strategy against gender-based violence. Moreover, this paper recommends the establishment of a stronger partnership and the continuation of seeking ways for closer cooperation between law enforcement agencies and communities for a better prevention of gender-based violence in societies.","PeriodicalId":45357,"journal":{"name":"Gender Technology & Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78535650","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}

This is with a view to examining the major healthcare challenges and choices available. The study employed the descriptive research method, the purposive sampling technique was employed in the selection of the correctional facilities, while the proportionate sampling technique was used to select the female respondents, and a 50% proportion was used. While descriptive analysis was used to analyse the primary data, such parameters as frequency, percentage, mean, and inferential (Pearson’s product moments correlation coefficients) were adopted in the analysis of the primary data. The study reveals that there is a positive and significant relationship between available healthcare and female inmates’ reproductive health, as well as a negative and insignificant relationship between major healthcare challenges and female inmates’ health. The study concludes that available healthcare and female inmates’ reproductive health move in the same direction, while major healthcare challenges and female inmates’ reproductive health move in the opposite direction. The study recommends that in order to improve the female inmate’s reproductive health, the available healthcare facilities require improvement, and the identified health challenges should be addressed as public health issues by the medical practitioners. It is also recommended that a large proportion of the health sector budget be directed towards providing qualitative health facilities in the correctional facilities across the nation in order to improve the standards of female inmates’ reproductive health status.","PeriodicalId":45357,"journal":{"name":"Gender Technology & Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75097732","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}

This study focuses on the violence experienced by women journalists reporting on politics in Brazil and South Africa. The paper examines the question: How are elements of violence enacted against women journalists by political actors in South Africa similar to those in Brazil? The study samples eight pieces of visual data in which the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and President Jair Bolsonaro verbally and physically assault women journalists. The research explores the individual and intersecting tenets of gender-based violence in both contexts. Videos from Brazil and South Africa were sourced from YouTube and Twitter and analysed using thematic analysis. The two main themes the paper explores are: strategic gender-based violence and the avoidance of accountability, and the intersections of power, patriarchy, and physicality. The research concludes that the political figures are aware of the woman journalist’s position in society and use strategic forms of violence to wield their power to both undermine and silence the journalists. Their strategy requires a violence toolkit that consists of the structural and patriarchal gender-based violence embedded in both contexts. The politicians want to avoid accountability for their actions as well as ensure that the woman journalist understands the risk and violence they face if they continue to probe and question them. The paper recommends that further studies should research the strategies that are used to address the gendered violence experienced by women journalists.","PeriodicalId":45357,"journal":{"name":"Gender Technology & Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86333159","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}

It compared the overall male and female professional staff’s perceptions of employees thriving. The sample size comprised 149 male and 133 female professionals. The measuring instrument was reliable at 0.8063 Cronbach’s alpha. The study reported that male and female participants had similar perceptions of employee thriving. It also reported that growth and development were significantly associated, while liveliness and devitalisation were insignificantly associated. Also, it revealed that liveliness and growth are significantly related to development, and devitalisation is inversely related to growth. The study recommended that the organisational climate be designed to empower the employees and enhance their thriving attitude towards work. Also, stakeholders and motivational speakers on employees’ thriving strategic efforts are buffed to adjust for factors that are important when intervening in the career counseling and career choices of municipal employees. Future studies may need to pay attention to different municipalities in the province and beyond.","PeriodicalId":45357,"journal":{"name":"Gender Technology & Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74676365","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}

Methods included semi-structured questionnaires and interviews, a two-day workshop, and a focus group discussion. A triangulation design (Cresswell 2008) and constructivist grounded theory approach were used for data analysis. Findings indicate the scope of economic empowerment was severely constrained by historic and extant economic, social, and cultural factors that continue to discriminate against and disempower girls and women. Historic and extant global and national systems and practises that are rooted in, and perpetuate gender-based inequalities, disempowerment, and exploitation need to undergo transformative change to provide women with authentic opportunities and freedom to achieve real empowerment (Cornwall & Rivas, 2015).","PeriodicalId":45357,"journal":{"name":"Gender Technology & Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80125607","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}

This was a qualitative phenomenological study, conducted through in-depth individual interviews, focus group discussions, and reflective journals with 16 school-going mothers between the ages of 17 and 20, purposively selected from three different public rural schools. This qualitative, phenomenological study analyses, through feminist and intersectionality theory, the lived experiences of these young mothers as they encounter the traditional, patriarchal attitudes and practices of the Ovambadja community because these girls fell pregnant before their formal, cultural initiation. The article documents, through the voices of the young women themselves, the numerous constraints they experienced and overcame in their determination to complete their schooling. The findings show that, aside from the deeply held destructive patriarchal beliefs that significantly constrain and harm the mother-learners, the Namibian Learners Pregnancy Policy, which is intended to protect and ensure pregnant learners and mother-learners complete their schooling, is not being properly or effectively implemented. The study recommends an increase in efforts at the national level in Namibia to raise awareness among members of parliament, school administrators and principals, and all policymakers to develop better monitoring systems that will improve policy implementation in schools.","PeriodicalId":45357,"journal":{"name":"Gender Technology & Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81468439","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}

Our analysis considers the extent to which these ICT4D interventions align with established strategies for preventing and responding to SGBV from gender equality and global health practitioner communities. Using a feminist lens, we propose three parameters against which design features of digitally-based SGBV interventions should be assessed: (1) accessibility, (2) theory of action, and (3) accountability. Reading the intervention landscape through these parameters, our results indicate that ICT interventions to address SGBV deploy creative use of various technologies, from mapping software to social networks and document storage. That said, we also find significant scope for improving the accessibility of existing interventions through use of features that remove literacy barriers. Our findings around the accountability of interventions highlight the need for far greater engagement with emerging conceptualizations of data rights. Finally, we show that existing theories of action are only partially aligned with “offline” best practices.","PeriodicalId":45357,"journal":{"name":"Gender Technology & Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45806184","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}
