Kadına yönelik şiddet (VAW), kadın cinayeti ve boşanma arasında çok yönlü bir ilişki mevcut; eşe yönelik şiddet, kadını boşanmaya yöneltebileceği gibi, erkek partneri eşe karşı daha aşırı uygulanan şiddet biçimlerine yönlendirebilir. Bu makale, boşanma, kişilerarası şiddet (IPV), özellikle cinsiyete dayalı şiddet ve kadın cinayeti arasındaki bağlantıyı ele almaktadır. IPV ile ilgili boşanma nedenleri, ilişki içinde meydana gelen IPV türlerine ve şiddet gören kadının şiddet içeren ilişkiden kaçmak istemesine neden olan motiflere göre sınıflandırılmaya çalışılacaktır. Boşanma süreci sırasında ve sonrasında kadınlara yönelik farklı şiddet türleri, boşanmanın önündeki engeller ve kadınların boşanma kararı almasını sağlayan faktörler ele alınmaktadır. Makale, IPV ve boşanma konusundaki bilgilere katkıda bulunmaktadır: özellikle, kadına yönelik şiddet (VAW) ile boşanmanın kesiştiği noktalar ele alınmaktadır. Makale ayrıca, boşanma sürecinde görülen şiddet biçimleri, boşanma sürecinde kadına güç veren imkanlar ve boşanma sonrası ayrılık sonrası şiddet hakkında da bilgi vermektedir. Makalenin ana bulguları, kadına yönelik şiddet ile boşanma arasındaki bağlantıyla ilgilidir: boşanma genellikle kadına yönelik devam eden şiddetli partner şiddetinin bir sonucudur ve bu şiddet boşanma sonrasında da devam edebilir. Şiddet gören kadınlar için boşanma, aile ortamı, kurumlar ve koruyucu yasaların aracılık ettiği, hem şiddet hem de güçlendirmeyi içeren bir süreçtir. Erkek partnerin güvenliğe yönelik mevcut tehditleri ve ataerkil kültür, şiddet gören kadınlar için boşanmayı diğerlerine göre daha zor hale getirmektedir.

The Relation Between Divorce and IPV

Öz

A multifaceted relationship exists among VAW (violence against women), femicide, and divorce; spousal abuse can both prompt a woman to seek divorce and trigger her male partner to engage in more extreme forms of spousal violence. This paper discusses the link between divorce, interpersonal violence (IPV), especially genderbased violence, and femicide. The IPV-related reasons for divorce will be categorised according to the forms of IPV that occur within the relationship, and which motives make the battered woman seek escape from the violent relationship. The different forms of violence against women during and after the divorce process, the obstacles to divorce, and the factors that empower women to pursue divorce are discussed. The paper contributes to knowledge of IPV and divorce: specifically, how violence against women (VAW) intersects with divorce. This paper will also provide an account of the forms of violence within the divorce process, the facilities that empower the woman within the divorce process, and post-separation violence after divorce. The main findings of the paper relate to the link between VAW and divorce: that divorce is often a consequence of ongoing intimate partner violence against women, which can also continue after the divorce. For battered women, divorce is a process involving both violence and empowerment, mediated by the family environment, institutions, and protective laws. Existing threats to safety from the male partner as well as patriarchal culture make divorce more difficult for battered women than others.
