    1. Introduction
    Gender Base violence (GBV) means violence inflicted or suffered on the basis of gender
    difference. Power imbalance is the root causes of GBV. Violence against women is the
    most common GBV.GBV is also implies to men or boys. Especially boys are also affected
    by women but in majority of cases it is violence against women so the term GBV becomes
    synonyms to violence against women.
    GBV occurs in every country and among all social, cultural, economic and religious
    groups. Factor contributing to GBV are follows:
    GBV is most common within cultures where gender roles are strictly defined and enforced;
    where muscularity is closely associated with toughness, male honor, or dominance, where
    punishment of women and children is accepted.
    There is association between GBV and socio economic status. Violence is common among
    the poor economic status family.

    2. Situation of GBV

    Globally

    Women activists have been initiating different activities for long time to increase
    awareness about the issues of gender base violence. They have been requesting
    communities and policy makers to recognize this issue as a crucial social problem
    Because of these efforts, gender –based violence is now more widely understood as an
    abuse of women’s basic right and more recently recognized as a global public health
    concern. Currently, combating such violence is one of the seven key strategies for the
    achievement of women’s empowerment and gender equality which is one of the MDGs.

    In Nepal

    In Nepal there are most likely to have high prevalence of GBV based on the existence of
    all types of contributing factors in the country like patriarchal society, poor economic
    status ,low literacy rate, exiting political conflict, poor security situation ,cultural customs
    and rituals etc .These factors have made the country more fertile for GBV. The types and
    forms of violence against girls prevalent in Nepal include domestic violence of
    reproductive rights, rape, sexual exploitation, gender discrimination, abuse of mentally
    and physically handicapped people, harm done to women due to cultural customs and
    rituals ,female foeticide , etc .There are very low awareness program done in Nepal to
    uplift the status of GBV.
    There is high prevalence of early marriage in Nepal. According to DHS 2006, among
    Women age 20-49, 60 percent are married by age 18 and 78 percent are married by age
    20.The median age at first marriage among women age 20-49 is 17.2 year. Wife beating
    is very common in Nepal .There are some culture and social practices that exist in Nepal
    which have affected female dignity and usually sexually exploited .They are :
    Deuki, Badi and jhuma practices .kumari system, polyandry system, Dowry system, Jari
    system, chhopdi/chaudi system.
    3. Determinants of the problem
    Lack of appropriate information dissemination among the general public about the
    Gender base violence.

    4. Gap analysis

    5. Concept

    advocating aspects of the GBV.
