Geographies of domestic violence in rural spaces: Case of rural Nepali communities in the Tarai region
Journal Title: Invention Journal of Research Technology in Engineering & Management - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Recognition that past research on domestic violence largely concentrated on urban areas has helped to generate a body of work focusing specifically on the rural. This work has begun to identify important characteristics of the experience of intimate partner violence in rural communities and, in particular, to draw attention to the problems of resourcing and delivering services in support of families and individuals living with and escaping violence. A key direction of research has been the interrogation of rates of domestic violence in the comparison of urban, suburban and rural areas. Some studies have extended this comparative approach in highlighting the prevalence of different forms of violence across types of community. This focus on the rural has been a welcomed response to academic criticisms of the lack of work on the rationality of space and violence and to associated calls by geographers to foreground the centrality of space in work on both the experience and conceptualization of violence. Three remote villages of Bank district of western Nepal has been selected for the household survey at 90 households. In addition to that, KII and FGD as well as interactive interview with the local stake holders have also been conducted. Main finding of this research is women in the rural and remote areas are more likely than women in urban areas to experience domestic and family violence. Similarly, women living in the rural and remote areas who experience domestic and family violence face specific issues related to their geographical location and the cultural and social characteristics of living in small communities.
