#genderspecific approach to #crime #institutionalisedsexism
In Australia we have a gender specific approach to crime.
Apparently there is no such thing as female perpetrators nor male victims. In
any dispute between a man and a woman the man will be presumed to be in the
wrong. Where a man is bullied by women or has a physically violent partner his
side does not get a look in. Females are either unaccountable or unequally
accountable for their negative impact. The assumption of the bad man potential
perpetrator is a micro-aggression and legitimises female aggression and
vigilantism. We have panic in Australia re community safety. Fear of crime. As
Arthur Miller said “in times of panic the moral weight is with the accuser.”
‘’The major difference between genders is that for girls, holding
social knowledge equates to holding social power as a means of manipulating
their peers,’’ ‘’Covert
bullying as an emerging social phenomenon’’ Edith Cowan University
2009
‘’Most damaging is
turning the victim into a social "undesirable". The (female
aggressive) behavior and associated anger is hidden, often wrapped in a package
seen as somewhat harmless or just a "girl thing". The covert
nature of the (female) aggression leaves the victim with no forum to refute the
accusations and, in fact, attempts to defend oneself leads to an
escalation of the aggression." Bullying in the Female

The Hidden Aggression
Behind the Innocent Smile Psychology Today Sep 03, 2011
“when
they question the motives of perpetrators or try to defend their experiences,
their perceptions and concerns are invalidated. Ironically, and in this case,
the act of questioning a person's experience with microaggressions may, at
times, be a form of microaggression! It is a denial of the aggressed person's
right to interpret and give meaning to their lived experience”

#structuralviolence is a term commonly ascribed to Johan Galtung, which he introduced in the article "Violence, Peace, and Peace Research" (1969).[1] It refers to a form of violence wherein some social structure or social institution may harm people by preventing them from meeting their basic needs. #Institutionalized adultism, ageism, classism, elitism, ethnocentrism, nationalism, speciesism, racism, and #sexism are some examples of structural violence as proposed by Galtung.

More Rapid Housing For Victims Of Family Violence
11 March 2018
·
The Andrews Labor Government is helping more Victorian women and
children fleeing family violence into safe rental accommodation thanks to an
expanded leasing program.
Minister for Housing, Disability and
Ageing Martin Foley today announced more than $4 million in new funding for the Rapid Housing Program to ensure family violence
victims have access to homes when they need them.
Under the program, homes are leased from private owners by
community housing agencies, which sublet them to women and children at below
market rent.
The program focuses on areas with high incidences of family
violence and offers stable accommodation for up to 12 months.
The $152 million Family Violence Housing Blitz has helped
community housing agencies purchase 185 properties and lease 124.
A further $2 million announced last year will help lease more than
120 properties for family violence victims.
These programs have successfully housed more than 300 Victorian
women and children so they can live safely in the community.
One in 10 applicants on the Victorian Housing Register priority
list identify family violence as a reason for seeking urgent housing
assistance.
The Labor Government has invested more than $285 million in the
last two Victorian budgets to boost social housing stock, redevelop refuges and
provide rental assistance to get family violence victims housed safely and
quickly.
It builds on our $1.9 billion commitment to tackle the scourge of
family violence – more than any other state or federal government in the
nation.
Quotes attributable to Minister for Housing, Disability and Ageing
Martin Foley
“We never want to see women and children with
nowhere to go because of violence at home.”
“This investment is about providing more
housing options for victims, so they can get a roof over their head quickly and
rebuild their lives.”
Quote attributable to Minister for the Prevention of Family
Violence Natalie Hutchins
“We’re proud to have made a huge difference in the lives of more
than 300 Victorian women and children fleeing family violence, thanks to
housing programs like this one.”
