Tiivistelmä
This bachelor's thesis dives into the challenges faced by immigrant background women in Finland who endure psychological violence within intimate partner relationships. Focusing on the nuanced dynamics of psychological abuse, often overshadowed within the broader context of domestic violence, this study seeks to raise awareness, identify gaps in support services, and offer solutions.
The theoretical framework encompasses the principles of the Istanbul Convention, Finnish legislation, and existing research on domestic violence and immigrant experiences. Employing a development based approach, the thesis aims to produce a podcast series to complement the written document, providing accessible information on mental abuse and available resources.
Through comprehensive exploration and collaboration with relevant organizations, the thesis outlines an action plan for the podcast and analyses the multifaceted nature of mental abuse. Key findings underscore the pervasive nature of psychological violence and the challenges faced by immigrant women in recognizing and addressing it.
Drawing on insights from various sources, including governmental agencies and non profit organizations, the thesis emphasizes the need for legislative measures to criminalize psychological abuse. Recommendations include enhancing prevention efforts, standardizing services, and strengthening coordination structures to combat domestic violence effectively.
In conclusion, this thesis serves as a call to action, urging policymakers and stakeholders to prioritize the protection of vulnerable individuals and enact meaningful legislative reforms to address the insidious nature of psychological abuse within intimate partner relationships in Finland. Through collaborative efforts and sustained advocacy, we aspire to foster a more compassionate and resilient society where all individuals can thrive free from the scourge of intimate partner violence.
