We apply a Bourdieusian lens to understand the reproduction of a patriarchal that works to maintain violence-supportive attitudes and concurrent low levels of support for gender equality among young people. We analyze interview and focus group data collected with young women and men and conclude that we must disrupt the reproduction of patriarchal norms by: recognizing the intentional operation of backlash by men's rights activist groups that undermine attempts to transform society; ensuring girls' and women's safety on new technologies to reduce their exposure to sexism and violence; and introducing prevention early to disrupt misogynist social norms being internalized.

Medical Gaze Sans Bioethics: Revisiting Enslaved Black Women's Medical Bondage in Behind the Sheet.
J Med Humanit
January 2025
School of Humanities and Management, National Institute of Technology, Tadepalligudem, Andhra Pradesh, India.
The birth of modern gynecology in the USA is preceded by experimental exploitations of Black women's bodies in the mid-nineteenth century, entailing a long-drawn extraction of "reproductive knowledge" from enslaved patients. Charly Evon Simpson's Behind the Sheet (2019) stages the history of medical bondage of Black enslaved women in antebellum South, reconstructing the events that led to the surgical innovation for vesico-vaginal fistula. Scrutinizing Simpson's dramatization of the event, this paper prompts inquiries into the interplay of power and consent between the physician and the enslaved patient in plantation healthcare, highlighting the need to reexamine bioethical principles.

Background: This study explored how gender inequalities in health systems influence women's experiences of obstetric violence in Ghana. Obstetric violence is recognised as a major public health concern and human rights violation. In particular, it reduces women's trust and use of health facilities for childbirth, thereby increasing the risks of maternal and neonatal mortality.
