dc.description.abstract | Through a thematic analysis of four cases of suicide by young women identified from the National Coronial Information System, I apply a gendered lens to understanding the ways in which human service professionals’ expectations of feminine behavior, led them to view these young women as “bad girls” and imposed a disempowering “coerced autonomy” framework onto them. In this framework, the girls were held responsible for factors that caused their distress but were denied self-determination in their diagnosis and/or treatment. I aim to broaden our understanding of how gendered expectations can have fatal consequences. | en_US |

Preliminary results show that the majority (61%) were victims of some sort of violence (online, bullying, sexual, and other physical violence), 55% had a mention of physical violence towards them. This project looks at gendered violence towards mothers in multiple facets, such as socially through systematic violence and physically through domestic and family violence.<br /><br /> | en_US |
