• some of niva client survey concerns addressed
• no funding cap• diminished standard for
admission to program (reasonable
belief that life is in danger) • no mandatory identity change
(can used to relocate a person)
• potential for counselling• potential for cross-
jurisdictional moves
• ties participant to criminal regime
• referral mechanisms to program under more narrow under wppa than niva
• rcmp administration raises trust issues
• vague access criteria (belief on
reasonable grounds that life is in danger ) • current language not inclusive
of children • rcmp commissioner has
discretion to refuse access for financial reasons
• possible criminal sanctions for program violations

‘victimization’ is political. power dictates who victimizes and who gets victimized, and power dictates what will be viewed as victimization. a person recognized, legitimated, as a victim is recognized as someone who has received a wrong, who has been treated unfairly and unjustly.
. . . .despite its ‘negative social value’ and the ‘obligations’ of the victim role, its benefits include “the right to claim assistance, sympathy, temporary relief from other role responsibilities, legal recourse, and other similar advantages.

feminism lost its power to suggest interpretations of abuse to the … public almost as soon as the media seized on victimization of women and girls as a popular subject. the loss of political movement that saw abuse as primarily a gender issue became a gain for the public health and mental health professions.

– is eternally suffering- depression; suicidal tendencies; anxiety; phobias;
addiction; dissociative identity disorder; sexual dysfunction, etc.
– is deviant– is passive– is helpless– is powerless– is dependent– is ashamed – lacks agency

in creating new definitions we always risk incorporating the rigidity of the victim is a practice I call victimism… [which] creates a framework for others to know her not as a person but as a victim, someone to whom violence was done.
. . . . victimism is an objectification which establishes new standards for defining experience; those standards dismay any question of will, and deny that the woman even while enduring sexual violence is a living, growing, interactive person.
kathleen barry (1979)female sexual slavery

feminist research increasingly seeks to go beyond giving women voice and reporting on women’s experiences, to offer analyses and critiques that help make sense of women’s experiences as they are shaped and constrained by power relations in social
contexts. nicola garvey (1999)“ ‘I wasn’t raped but…’ revisiting
definitional problems in sexual victimization”

abused woman as survivor

the alternative characterization of battered women is that they are active survivors rather than helpless victims … battered women remain in abusive situations not because they have been passive but because they have tried to escape with no avail. we offer, therefore, a survivor hypothesis that contradicts learned helplessness. battered women increase their helpseeking in the face of increased violence, rather than decrease helpseeking as learned helplessness.
. . . .their effort to survive transcends even fearsome danger, depression or guilt, and economic constraints. it supercedes the “giving up and giving in” which occurs according to learned helplessness. in an effort to survive, battered women are, in fact, heroically assertive and persistent.
edward gandolf & ellen fisher (1988)battered women as survivors
![Page 57: n ew i dentifers for v ictims of a buse ian kerr](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56814fd2550346895dbd95f5/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)

rather than a loss of self, this study found that passivity is an active strategy of survival… although they appear to acquiesce to the abusers’ controls and definitions, the women continues to harbor alternative interpretations. they survived life-threatening experiences by developing adaptive strategies of resistance and strength.
laura lempert (1996)“women’s strategies for survival: developing agency in abusive relationships”

but what are the consequences for mobilization and public policy of emphasizing, alternatively, victims’ strength and agency? ‘survivor’ typifications, as they become increasingly popular, confer a kind of self-sufficiency on those so labeled that might dissuade rather than encourage assistance. if a victim is no longer perceived as helpless, will help still be forthcoming? it is possible that the collective identity ‘repair work’ I have described, while it reframes battered women in ways that are non-stigmatizing and consonant with the ideology of individual responsibility, nonetheless has latent consequences ... to cast victims as agents can be interpreted as minimizing the effects of the forces arrayed against them.

the ship wherein thesues and the youth of athens returned from crete had thirty oars, and was preserved by the athenians down even to the time of demetrius phalereus, for they took away the old planks as they decayed, putting in new and stronger timber in their place, insomuch that this ship became a standing example among the philosophers, for the logical question of things that grow; one side holding that the ship remained the same, and the other
contending that it was not the same. plutarch

a psychological connection [relation-R] exists when a psychological state at one time is causally related in an appropriate way to a psychological state at an earlier time. for instance, if marilyn remembers something because norma jean experienced it, if marilyn does something because norma jean intended it, if marilyn believes something because norma jean was taught it, then marilyn and norma jean are psychologically connected…if there are many such connections then
marilyn is psychologically continuous with norma jean. derek parfit (1971)“personal identity”
