Obiteljsko nasilje nad ženama u Sloveniji: javni problem?

Abstract

The article deals with violence against women within the family and the question to what extent it is identified as a relevant public (social and political) problem in Slovenia. The analysis touches upon changes at the policy level; however the main focus is placed on the public opinion, as it reflects the degree of recognition and acceptance of these problems in a society, as well as beliefs framing it. The empirical analysis of the public opinion survey on domestic violence in Slovenia shows that dual views on violence against women exist. On one hand, the public in Slovenia is aware of the problem of violence against women and it recognizes, discusses and defines it as a social problem and responsibility, while on the other hand it displays a relatively high level of tolerance for certain forms of violence and the belief that domestic violence is a private matter. The public (at least in part) thus often reproduces stereotypical beliefs and myths about violence against women within the family and does not recognize it as a broader social problem.Osnovni cilj rada jest analiza nasilja nad ženama u obitelji i pitanja u kojoj mjeri je identificiran kao relevantan društveni i politički problem u Sloveniji. Problem je analiziran kroz promjene na razini politike, a posebice u kontekstu rezultata empirijskog istraživanja javnog mnijenja koje obično reflektira stupanj prepoznavanja i prihvaćenja problema u društvu, kao i uvjerenja o nekom društvenom problemu. Analiza empirijskih rezultata istraživanja nasilja nad ženama u obitelji upućuje na dvojnost pogleda na nasilje nad ženama. S jedne strane, javnost je svjesna problema nasilja nad ženama, prepoznaje ga kao društveni problem i odgovornost, dok s druge strane, pokazuje relativno visoku razinu tolerancije za određene oblike nasilja i vjerovanje da je nasilje privatna stvar. U javnosti se tako često reproduciraju stereotipni pogledi i mitovi o nasilju nad ženama u obitelji i ne prepoznaje ga se kao važan društveni problem
