Feminist policy analysts have long stressed the importance of gendered discussions in policy reform, as policies often have different impacts on men and women. In this issue of Violence Against Women, Andrea Krizsan and Raluca Popa examine how women's advocates translate international human rights norms on violence against women into national legislation in five Central and Eastern European countries. They focus on domestic violence, which was a major policy issue in these countries. They argue that gender equality is a dynamic and contested concept, and that translating international norms into domestic policy can lead to co-optation by groups opposing gender equality. They emphasize the need for gendered policy making and implementation to protect policies and promote transformative gender equality. L. Allen Furr discusses the stigma faced by women who have been victims of fire attacks in India, based on narratives from survivors. He applies the theory that stigma is a response to perceived threats, highlighting the marginalization and ostracism experienced by these women. Victoria Frye and colleagues analyze the link between neighborhood characteristics and sexual intimate partner violence (IPV), finding that neighborhood collective efficacy is positively associated with IPV perpetration among men, contradicting standard theories. This may be due to residents viewing IPV as a private matter. Cortney Franklin and Tasha Menaker explore the role of status inconsistency in IPV victimization, finding that it increases the likelihood of IPV victimization when combined with relationship distress and family-of-origin violence. Susan Robinson-Whelan and colleagues evaluate a personal safety awareness program for women with disabilities, finding it effective in enhancing safety skills. Pam Nilan and colleagues examine men's attitudes toward violence against women in Indonesia, finding that many men are reluctant to discuss such issues and often blame the victim. Murray Straus reanalyzes data on IPV, challenging previous conclusions about the role of women's perpetration in their male partners' likelihood of reassaulting them. This issue highlights the need for gendered approaches in understanding and addressing violence against women, emphasizing the importance of considering diverse perspectives and contexts.Feminist policy analysts have long stressed the importance of gendered discussions in policy reform, as policies often have different impacts on men and women.
