The first survey carried out in Finland specifically to study men's violence against women showed that partner violence is quite common in Finland and it is directed especially toward young women. The statistical findings don't support the idea that violence has become more widespread in Finland. Life situation factors that are usually viewed as making women vulnerable to spousal violence, such as having children, cohabiting, low educational level, and financial dependency on the male partner, failed to explain partnership violence against women in Finland as such, too. The author's objective is to find out whether meanings of violence have changed and whether this could be one reason why young women report in a survey such cases of violence that other women would not. This could explain why violence in partnerships is so common among young women in Finland.

University of Virginia School of Nursing, Charlottesville, Virginia.
Background: Persons with disabilities are at higher risk of experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) during the perinatal period than persons without disabilities. Although screening for IPV during the perinatal period is recommended by many organizations, little is known about screening rates for IPV by disability status.
Methods: Our objective was to compare rates of IPV screening during the perinatal period among persons with and without disabilities in the United States.

Background: Traumatic brain injury is a risk factor for worse later-life brain health, including dementia. Yet the role of interpersonal violence and its gendered nature in the TBI-cognition relationship has yet to be fully studied. While men and women alike commit and experience violence, gender-based violence (GBV)-which primarily targets women, transgender and gender-nonconforming people, and from which they tend to suffer worse injuries than men-is understudied.

This study examined how toxic masculinity, gender-based violence, and sports engagement intersect among adolescent football players in Cyprus. Focus groups with 34 participants (average age 15.3 years, = 28, = 6) explored three key areas: (1) perceptions of gender stereotypes and traditional masculinity in sports; (2) attitudes toward gender-based violence and their behavioral impacts; and (3) how sports involvement influences traditional gender norms.

Violence Against Women

Ladysmith, British Columbia, Canada.
Gender and intersectional data are recognized as vital to addressing gender-based violence. We engage this thesis through a case study of a gender data project at the Colombia-Venezuela border. Coming from an underexplored vantage point in the literature, we trouble the assumption that more data are always better for advancing feminist objectives around GBV.

Although as many as 92% report impacts to the head and/or strangulation that raise clinical suspicion of brain injury (BI), there are no evidence-based methods to document IPV-BI in this vulnerable population, no clinical practice guideline, and insufficient understanding about long-term risks including Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD). Although traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an established ADRD risk factor, little is known about attributable risk of ADRD due to IPV in either military or civilian populations.
