    GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE

    - is violence that is directed at an


    individual based on his or her biological
    sex OR gender identity. It includes
    physical, sexual, verbal, emotional, and
    psychological abuse, threats, coercion, and
    economic or educational deprivation,
    whether occurring in public or private life.
    INTRODUCTION

    Gender-based violence is one of the most widespread human rights abuses, but
    least recognized in the world. It refers to any harm perpetrated against a person's will on
    the
    basis of gender, the socially ascribed differences between males and females.
    Some countries and communities experience different types of gender-based violence in
    comparison to others, but the fundamental elements of the problem are global.

    Gender-based violence assumes many forms, the most common being intimate partner
    violence, sexual assault, and female genital mutilation. Gender-based violence can in-
    clude issues faced and perpetrated by both males and females.
    This resource focuses on women and girls because they are the majority of victims and survivors. Many health and social care
    professionals are in contact with women and girls as part of their clinical role. As health and social care students it is
    important you understand the extent and nature of the problem.

    CONSEQUENCES OF GENDER-BASED
    VIOLENCE
    These consequences include serious, immediate, and long-term impacts on the sexual,
    physical, and psychological health of survivors

    Health consequences include unwanted pregnancies, complications trom unsale


    abortions, sexually transmitted infections including HIV, injuries, mental health, and
    psychosocial effects (depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, suicide and death).
    Violence also affects children’s survival, development, and school participation.

    Social consequences extend to families and communities. Families can also be stigmatized
    as a consequence of gender-based violence. For example, when children are born
    following a rape, or if family members choose to stand by a survivor, fellow members of
    their community may avoid them.

    Economic consequences include the cost of public health and social welfare systems and
    the reduced ability of many survivors to participate in social and economic life. (World

    HUMAN RIGHTS
    Human rights are standards that allow all people to live with dignity, freedom,
    equality, justice, and peace every person has these rights simply because they
    are human beings human everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms
    without distinction of any kind, such as race, color, sex, language, religion,
    political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, or other
    status.
    These include the following, amongst others:

    the right to life, liberty, and property of persons;


    the right to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health;
    the right to freedom from torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment
    or punishment;
    the right to freedom of opinion and expression and to education
    Gender-based violence is a human rights concern. People who experience gender
    violence may suffer from different human rights violations – for example the right to
    life, freedom from torture and degrading treatment, freedom from discrimination and
    the right to safety and security.Remember
    SURVIVOR, VICTIM, AND PERPETRATOR
    Survivor is the preferred term (not a "victim") of a person who
    has lived through an incident of gender-based violence.
    A perpetrator is a person, group, or institution that
    inflicts, supports, or condones violence or other abuse
    against a person or group of persons.

    Characteristics of perpetrators include:

    a. persons with real or perceived power;


    b. Persons in decisíon-making positions; and persons in
    authority.
    C. In all incidents of GBV, there is always a survivor/victim and
    a perpetrator. Therefore, all actions in the prevention
    and responses to GBV need to address both the survivor
    and the perpetrator
