What is the difference between gender violence and gender-based violence?

Introduction: Gender-based violence is a pervasive and underestimated issue worldwide, affecting all societal aspects, including universities. While Argentina has made progress in gender rights, universities still struggle with gender-based violence due to enduring patriarchal structures.Development: Gender violence persists in universities, perpetuating androcentric biases in teaching, leadership, and decision-making. The Micaela Law, passed in 2018, mandates gender training for government officials, including universities, aiming to combat this issue. The National University of Avellaneda and others have initiated gender training programs in response to this law. The Inter-University Network for Gender Equality and Against Violence (RUGE), integrated into the National Inter-University Council (CIN), promotes gender equality within universities through policies, strategies, and protocols.Conclusions: Implementing the Micaela Law and integrating the gender perspective in universities are essential steps towards fostering inclusive academic environments. This aligns with international obligations and contributes to creating a more egalitarian society.

Globally, we see that male and female become victim of human rights violations, although these violations differ in severity and consequence. Unlike men women are more prone to violence. Studies show that aggression and violence practiced on women may be categorized as the origin of gender-based violence. These findings unequivocally show that violence is closely tied to gender inequality and the unequal allocation of power in society, both of which lower women's standing and make them less equal to males. Being a woman in such a patriarchal and culturally constructed society entails the danger of being exposed to all types of threats and abuse. Case examples are used in this qualitative research to demonstrate the thorough investigation. Depending on how men and women relate to one another, which dictates the level of power exercised, gender-based violence can take many different forms. Therefore, this crime against women can be classified as one of the following: rape, incest, harassment, sexual assault, at-work or in-school harassment, in-prison harassment, even women trafficking, and domestic abuse, etc. Keywords: Gender-Based Violence, Distribution of Power, Discrimination, Human Rights, Culture values, women’s pride, social norms, mobilization.

The wider and more sophisticated the reach and development of information technology, the more popular the use of social media. However, it turns out that this technological advancement has presented a new form of violence against woman, namely online gender-based violence. This online gender-based violence can result in harm or suffering in physical, mental or sexual form, threats, coercion and the deprivation of liberty. Therefore, in this study, we will discuss Online Gender-Based Violence as a Form of Violence Against Woman. The research method used is a normative juridical research method. Based on this research, it was found that in order to prevent the occurrence of online gender-based violence, women must be aware of digital footprints, because they can be used by irresponsible parties to commit online gender-based violence and the impact can be very cruel. Woman are also less aware of the potential threats related to personal data that deviate from large impacts such as fetishization, online harassment and humiliation, threats of online violence to online trafficking of woman.

Due to the unequal power relations between men and women, women are violated either in family, in the community or in the State. Gender-based violence takes different forms like physical, sexual or psychological/ emotional violence. The causes of gender-based violence are multidimensional including social, economic, cultural, political and religious. The literatures written in relation to the gender-based violence are accessed using electronic databases as PubMed, Medline and Google scholar, Google and other Internet Websites between 1994 and first quarter of 2013 using an internet search from the keywords such as gender-based violence, women violence, domestic violence, wife abuse, violence during pregnancy, women sexual abuse, political gender based violence, cultural gender-based violence, economical gender-based violence, child sexual abuse and special forms of gender-based violence in Nepal. As GBVs remain one of the most rigorous challenges of women's health and well-being, it is one of the indispensable issues of equity and social justice. To create a gender-based violence free environment, a lot works has to be done. Hence, it is suggested to provide assistance to the victims of violence developing the mechanism to support them.

Gender-based violence has been noted as a major international public health and human right issue. Still relatively little is known about its frequency, sub-cultural variations and correlates in Nigeria. Data from a cross sectional sample of women in the North Central Region of Nigeria were used to examine women’s experience and perception of gender-based violence. The types and levels of gender-based violence were measured and logistic regression was performed to identify critical significant factors affecting different types of gender-based violence. This was done by analyzing the association between socioeconomic, cultural and demographic variables and types of gender-based violence identified in the study. While there is a high prevalence of gender-based violence in terms of wife battery and marital sexual rape, their incidence is low. There is social approval for intimate partner violence while respondents did not agree that sexual rape occurs in marriage. Attitudes to gender based violence are supportive as most participant respondents see the tradition of wife battery as a demonstration of love. Most respondents would not report any experience of gender-based violence to the law enforcement agencies and the public. Women who have suffered intimate partner violence are more likely to have suffered rape and psychological abuse. There is statistical difference in social-health consequences reported by abused and non abused women. There is no consistent association between socioeconomic and demographic variables and types of gender-based violence. Gender-based violence interventions should focus on its social-health consequences instead of how to change men. A significant progress would be made if communities and individuals are aware of the social, human right and reproductive health consequences of forms of gender-based violence.

Gender based violence (GBV) is a preventable and serious human rights violation whereby an individual is harmed based on their gender. 1 The violence can be perpetrated physically, sexually, mentally or financially. This includes domestic violence, rape, feticide/infanticide and female genital mutilation. As is to be expected, victims of GBV often suffer from life-long consequences and at times even death.

Gender-based violence is considered a serious social and public health problem. Overcoming this situation implies a process that results in the favorable biopsychosocial rehabilitation of the resilience of women. The objective of this study was to analyze the tools, resources and personal and psychosocial mechanisms used by women survivors of gender-based violence. The design was an interpretative phenomenology. It was carried out with 22 women who have overcome gender-based violence. Data were collected through personal interviews and narration. The results were grouped into four themes: “Process of violence”, “Social resources for coping and overcoming GBV”, “Personal tools for coping and overcoming GBV” and “Feelings identified, from the abuse stage to the survival stage”. Several studies concluded that overcoming abuse is influenced by the women’s social network, and it can be the action of these people determining their survival to gender violence. Despite the recognized usefulness of these available resources, it would be desirable to strengthen them in order to be able to drive more women toward survival, assuming a strengthening of coping and overcoming, without forgetting the importance of other support mechanisms, such as their family and group therapies.

Introduction The United Nations in its General Recommendation defines gender-based violence as “violence that is directed against a woman because she is a woman or that affects women disproportionately. It includes acts that inflict physical, mental or sexual harm or suffering, threats of such acts, coercion and other deprivations of liberty.” The Declaration of the Elimination of Violence against Women in 1993, however, acknowledges gender-based violence as a manifestation of gender inequali...
