This thesis provides an in-depth analysis of the intersection between gendered power dynamics and violence, with a particular emphasis on patriarchal systems, intimate partner violence, and their relevance within restorative justice frameworks. The research critically examines how systemic biases against women as patriarchal heritage have historically been embedded in societal norms, shaping consent and power relations in intimate relationships. Additionally, the thesis assesses contemporary international legal frameworks designed to combat violence against women, focusing on how these frameworks address gender-based violence. Through the lens of restorative justice, the research advocates for approaches that foster healing and reconciliation for victims while simultaneously challenging entrenched structures of dominance and inequality. The study focuses on the Finnish legal system, tracing its historical and contemporary approaches to addressing intimate partner violence and exploring the impact these policies have on women's rights and their full enjoyment of these rights. This analysis includes a detailed examination of the use of victim-offender mediation in criminal intimate partner violence cases, as well as the implications of the outcome of individual communication No. 111/2017 before the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). To provide a comprehensive understanding of the Finnish context, the research incorporates interviews with representatives from national feminist movements and civil society organisations. These interviews offer insight into the perceptions and concerns of individuals directly affected by these laws, thereby enriching the overall analysis of the effectiveness of restorative justice and legal frameworks in addressing intimate partner violence in Finland.
Questa tesi fornisce un'analisi approfondita dell'intersezione tra le dinamiche di potere di genere e la violenza, con particolare attenzione ai sistemi patriarcali, alla violenza da partner intimo e alla loro rilevanza all'interno dei quadri di giustizia riparativa. La ricerca esamina criticamente come i pregiudizi sistemici contro le donne, in quanto patrimonio patriarcale, siano stati storicamente incorporati nelle norme sociali, modellando la percezione del consenso e le relazioni di potere nelle relazioni intime. Inoltre, la tesi valuta i quadri giuridici internazionali contemporanei progettati per combattere la violenza contro le donne, concentrandosi su come questi quadri affrontano la violenza di genere. Attraverso la lente della giustizia riparativa, la ricerca sostiene approcci che favoriscono la guarigione e la riconciliazione delle vittime, sfidando al contempo le strutture radicate di dominio e disuguaglianza. Lo studio si concentra sul sistema legale finlandese, tracciandone gli approcci storici e contemporanei per affrontare la violenza da partner nelle relazioni di intimità ed esplorando l'impatto che queste politiche hanno sui diritti delle donne e sul loro pieno godimento. L'analisi comprende un esame dettagliato dell'uso della mediazione tra vittima e colpevole nei casi di violenza da partner nelle relazioni intime, nonché le implicazioni dell'esito della comunicazione individuale n. 111/2017 dinanzi al Comitato per l'Eliminazione della Discriminazione Contro le Donne (CEDAW). Per fornire una comprensione completa del contesto finlandese, la ricerca include interviste con rappresentanti dei movimenti femministi nazionali e delle organizzazioni della società civile. Queste interviste offrono una visione delle percezioni e delle preoccupazioni delle persone direttamente colpite da queste leggi, arricchendo così l'analisi complessiva dell'efficacia della giustizia riparativa e dei quadri giuridici nell'affrontare la violenza da partner intimo in Finlandia.

Abstract
This thesis provides an in-depth analysis of the intersection between gendered power dynamics and violence, with a particular emphasis on patriarchal systems, intimate partner violence, and their relevance within restorative justice frameworks. The research critically examines how systemic biases against women as patriarchal heritage have historically been embedded in societal norms, shaping consent and power relations in intimate relationships. Additionally, the thesis assesses contemporary international legal frameworks designed to combat violence against women, focusing on how these frameworks address gender-based violence. Through the lens of restorative justice, the research advocates for approaches that foster healing and reconciliation for victims while simultaneously challenging entrenched structures of dominance and inequality. The study focuses on the Finnish legal system, tracing its historical and contemporary approaches to addressing intimate partner violence and exploring the impact these policies have on women's rights and their full enjoyment of these rights. This analysis includes a detailed examination of the use of victim-offender mediation in criminal intimate partner violence cases, as well as the implications of the outcome of individual communication No. 111/2017 before the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). To provide a comprehensive understanding of the Finnish context, the research incorporates interviews with representatives from national feminist movements and civil society organisations. These interviews offer insight into the perceptions and concerns of individuals directly affected by these laws, thereby enriching the overall analysis of the effectiveness of restorative justice and legal frameworks in addressing intimate partner violence in Finland.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
