1. RESEARCH PROJECT 12:
Gender-based violence and femicide: A social constructionist
and gendered-discourse approach
Research Area: ECOSYSTEMIC PSYCHOLOGY
Project description
South Africa is characterized by high crime levels, with crime being understood to be
a "symptom of social and economic inequalities"
In 2020, 51.1% of the South African population was female. Women have the highest
unemployment and poverty rates, with black African women being most vulnerable
with an unemployment rate of over 30%
Approximately twenty-two per cent (22%) of South African women have
experienced a form of violence from their intimate partner, and 50% have
experienced a form of violence by a friend or acquaintance
Gender-based violence is a societal concern
It is said to be more prevalent in developing countries, and is often associated with
gendered power dynamics that contribute to gender inequality.
Gendered power dynamics and gender-based violence is often maintained by
individual, social and cultural contexts
According to literature, violence against women is associated with the expression
of masculinity, and as a means to gain respect from and control over women
In the context of gender-based violence, patriarchy values men as superior to
women and children
Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Model
Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Model is a helpful framework to explore the contextual
and multi-layered systems that we belong to.
The Microsystem:
is the innermost level
and consists of the person's immediate environment,

relationships,
activities,
and interactions with those closest to them.
The macrosystem level,
or the outermost systemic layer,
consists of the cultural values,
laws,
and customs embedded in one's culture.
This includes societal systems, customs and cultural environments, for example, a
country's position on same-sex relationships, women's rights, and/or gender
equality.
If we punctuate from the macrosystem, one way of understanding gender-based
violence is through the lens of postmodern feminism and intersectionality.
Feminist research is regarded as an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary
approach to understanding gender, social constructions of gender dynamics, and
gender-based violence
Underpinned with a critical lens, postmodern feminist theories aim to explore and
understand the power dynamics among groups
In view of the above, this research project aims to explore gender-based violence
in the context of societal and cultural systems.
Students in this project will learn about the societal ill that is gender-based
violence, and be able to understand it from a social constructionist, post-feminist
and critical perspective.
