AN IDEAL VICTIM:. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Dec 2008, Pages: 72
This thesis deals with the way domestic violence is
addressed at the UN supranational and Ukrainian
national levels. More particularly, it addresses the
construction of the female subject in discourses and
legislation on domestic violence on both levels and
looks for the reasons of such representation. The
thesis thus examines state discursive practices and
the link between the state, NGOs, and international
donors in conceptualizing policies related to women's
issues – domestic violence in particular. The thesis
concentrates on the manifold nature of political
reasoning which results in marginalization of
domestic violence on the Ukrainian state agenda. It
argues that the state's construction of the female
subject in the context of domestic violence is
targeted not at representing women's interests but at
legitimizing state politics.
