Bridging Prevention And Health: Exploring Community Perceptions Of Intimate Partner Violence In Rural Honduras, Javeed Sukhera, Catherine Cerulli, Barbara A. Gawinski, Diane Morse

Paediatrics Publications

This qualitative study rooted in community-based participatory research principles utilized semi-structured interviews with 2 focus groups (n = 9) with female healthcare volunteers (FCVs) and 3 male key informants who were community leaders (MCLs). The study aimed to examine how a rural Honduran community defines and responds to intimate partner violence (IPV) in order to lay the foundation for future interventions. Based on grounded theory, the authors assessed for common themes across transcripts. Authors found that a number of participants denied the existence of IPV. Perspectives on the causes and definitions of IPV varied between FCVs and MCLs. All participants …

"Mapuche Conflict" Flares Up In Chile's Araucanía Region, Benjamin Witte-Lebhar Aug 2012

"Mapuche Conflict" Flares Up In Chile's Araucanía Region, Benjamin Witte-Lebhar

NotiEn: An Analytical Digest About Energy Issues in Latin America

A flurry of arson attacks, land occupations, and violent police raids have refocused public attention on Chile's longsimmering "Mapuche conflict," which is once again showing signs of boiling over. Sonamed for the involvement of ethnic Mapuches, Chile's largest indigenous group, the conflict also involves nonMapuche farmers and rural business magnates, as well as heavily armed carabineros [uniformed police], which maintain a constant presence in and around certain 'hotspot' communities in the Biobío and Araucanía regions. Fueling tensions are issues of poverty, land ownership, and racism.
