Violence Against Women
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how mothers and their daughters in the UK perceive and manage the risks of sexual violence, an area that is not widely researched.
- It reveals that while mothers and daughters have differing views on the level of risk, they share similar strategies for managing that risk.
- Key concerns include the high levels of fear surrounding sexual violence, inadequacies in current government policies, and the need for more research on the dynamics between mothers and daughters regarding this issue.
Introduction: The digital response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its effects on the lives of older adults has been well-documented, but less is known about how they experienced the post-lockdown re-emergence into a relatively contactless digital society.
Methods: We report the findings from a qualitative survey ( = 93) and subsequent interviews ( = 9) with older adults aged 50+, where they describe their struggles with some of the newly implemented digital interactions. These struggles cover a range of settings but include using contactless payments, QR codes and apps to facilitate transactions in cafes, bars, and restaurants.
