Abstract
This chapter builds on the previous chapters by looking into more depth at some of the central concepts employed in this text. Gender-based violence against women is contextualised in more detail by reviewing key global definitions and estimations of the worldwide nature and frequency of this violence. Contributing factors to the occurrence and continuation of gender-based violence are presented within human rights and public health perspectives as introduced in Chap. 3. Ideas around the prevention and response to gender-based violence begin to take shape. A feminist group work response fits most obviously within a response intervention. However, with the focus of consciousness raising and resistance in the Women’s Journalling Group Programme, this group work response also contains elements of prevention and transformation within it.
