Exploring Complex Realities Around Gender Based Violence, Multiple Legal Orders and Role of Police in Addressing GBV Cases in Pakistan and Pakistani Immigrant Community in Norway

Descrizione del progetto

Soluzioni incentrate sulla comunità per la violenza di genere

La violenza di genere trascende i confini, colpendo individui indipendentemente dal loro status sociale, dal luogo in cui vivono o dall’età che hanno. Come molti altri paesi nel mondo, il Pakistan si trova dinanzi a un incremento dei fenomeni ascrivibili a questo tipo di violenza, nonostante gli ampi sforzi legislativi compiuti. Con il sostegno del programma di azioni Marie Skłodowska-Curie, il progetto GBV_COP_SOC si presenta come un raggio di speranza in questo ambito. Questa innovativa iniziativa analizza gli aspetti di genere di questa violenza all’interno di svariate famiglie pakistane residenti in Norvegia e in Pakistan esplorando la polizia comunitaria come approccio innovativo in tal senso, che rappresenta un’alternativa alle convenzionali strategie dall’alto verso il basso. Esaminando l’efficacia della polizia comunitaria nell’affrontare la violenza di genere e comprendendo le dinamiche del pluralismo giuridico, il progetto mira a fornire informazioni vitali per arginare questo problema in un mondo in continua evoluzione.

Obiettivo

Violence occurs in all countries, rich or poor, developed or developing, irrespective of caste, creed, color, social status, wealth, urban or rural residence, or the ages of victim and aggressor. Keeping this in mind, this study is designed to understand gendered aspects of Gender based violence in Pakistan and Pakistani Families living in Norway. Despite extensive legislation and steps taken by the federal and provincial government, the plague of GBV is at rise in Pakistan and rest of the world. Interestingly, to address the GBV issue at state level, community policing has emerged as an alternative approach to conventional, top-down approach to ensure Human security . Community policing also addresses gender inclusive policing which in response provides room to address serious issues like gender based violence. Such community based approaches to policing are instrumental in addressing the sensitive issues like GBV, however, the effectiveness of these approaches in complexed contexts are under-researched and debated in recent scholarship. Similarly, it is equally interesting to understand the choices people make in legally pluralistic societies because it will provide greater understanding to reflect on how people maneuver, negotiate and choose the legal system to address GBV . At the Norwegian level, it would be very valuable to review how police works with GBV victims from immigrant communities from Pakistan .Hence, there is need to understand the gaps and challenges within the designed mechanism to curb GBV with special focus on gendered social relations, legal pluralism and why it is important for police to understand contextual complexity . Qualitative data collection method will be used to collect data both from Pakistan and Norway. Study is framed from grains from various filed of studies like Security, feminism, IR, Legal and Development Studies to ensure interdisciplinarity.
