    Gender-based violence refers to harmful acts directed at individuals based on gender that are rooted in power abuse and gender inequality. It is a serious violation of human rights that threatens health and increases during times of crisis. There are several types of GBV, including sexual, physical, emotional, and mental harassment and abuse. The root causes of GBV lie in societal attitudes of gender discrimination and inequality. Some contributing factors include alcohol/drug abuse, poverty, conflict, and loss of traditional family structures. Power is at the core of GBV and involves the abuse of physical, social, and gender-based power dynamics to control and coerce others without their consent. The cycle of violence describes how abuse occurs in repeating phases of tension building

    GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE:

    POWER
    USE OF FORCE
    AND CONSENT
    Gender-Based violence refers to harmful acts directed at
    an individual based on their gender. It is rooted in gender
    inequality, power abuse, and harmful norms.

    Gender-based violence (GBV) is a serious violation of


    human rights and a life-threatening health and protection
    issue. It is estimated that one in three women will
    experience sexual or physical violence in their lifetime.
    During displacement and times of crisis, the threat of GBV
    significantly increases for women and girls.
    TYPES OF GBV
    SEXUAL
    Harassment, rape, sodomy, attempted rape, marital rape, sexual abuse,
    exploitation, child sex abuse, sexual abuse and exploitation, sexual
    abuse (non-penetrating) forced prostitution (willing - but involuntary),
    child prostitution; sex trafficking

    PHYSICAL
    Spouse busting /domestic violence, assault, and other physical violence
    (gender-based)

    EMOTIONAL-MENTAL SOCIAL
    Verbal/emotional abuse, humiliation, discrimination, denial of
    opportunities and /or services, spouse confinement (domestic violence)
    The root causes of all forms of GBV lie in a society's attitudes towards and practices of
    gender discrimination. Addressing the root causes through prevention activities
    requires sustained, long-term action with changes occurring slowly over a long period
    of time.
    -Abuse of Power
    -Gender inequality
    -Lack of belief in the equality of human rights for all

    Some acts of GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE


    • Alcohol/drug abuse
    • Poverty
    • Conflict
    • Availability of food; fuel; wood; income generation
    • Collapse of traditional society and family support system
    • Lack of police protection
    • Impunity
    • Loss of male, power/ role in the family and community; seeking to assert power
    POWER
    Power is the ability to influence your own or others’
    experiences. It is important for us to be aware of how we use
    the power we possess. The power we exert over others is a
    negative use of power. When men use power to control
    women it is a negative use of power, and the driving force
    behind violence against women.  Our Network seeks to
    transform negative uses of power into positive uses of power,
    which promote equality and solidarity.
    TYPES OF POWER
    ● Physical – strength, size, use of weapons, controlling access or security;
    soldiers, police robbers, gangs;
    ● Gender-based (social) – males are usually in a more powerful position than
    ● females; and
    ● Age-related – often, the young and elderly people have the least power.
    ● Power is directly related to choice – the more power one has, there are more
    choices available; the less power, the fewer choices available
    ● Unempowered people have fewer choices and therefore, more vulnerable to
    abuse
    ● GBV involves abuse of power
    ● Unequal power relationships are exploited or abuse
    USE OF FORCE/VIOLENCE
    ● Force might be physical, emotional, social, or
    economic in nature
    ● May involve coercion or pressure
    ● Force also includes intimidation, threats,
    persecution, or other forms of psychological or
    social pressure
    ● Violence consists of the use of physical force or
    other means of coercion such as threats,
    inducement, or promise of a benefit to obtain
    something from a weaker or more vulnerable person
    ● Using violence involves forcing someone to do
    something against her/his will – use of force.
    INFORMED CONSENT
    Consent means saying “yes,” agreeing to something – means making
    an informed choice freely and voluntarily by a person in an equal
    power relationship

    Acts of GBV occur without informed consent – even if she says


    “yes”, this is not true because it was under duress – the
    perpetrator(s) used some kind of force to get her say “yes”

    Children (below 18 y.o.) are deemed unable to give informed consent


    for acts such as female genital cutting (FGC), marriage, sexual
    relations, etc.
    CYCLE OF VIOLENCE

    The cycle of violence is a model developed to explain the complexity and co-
    existence of abuse with loving behaviors. It helps those who have never
    experienced domestic violence understand that breaking the cycle of violence is
    much more complicated than just “getting out” or leaving.

    As the cycle starts, the victim starts going in and out of the relationship. It often
    takes many attempts to make a final decision to leave for good. Feelings of guilt,
    insecurity, and concern for children’s well-being play a strong role in the victim’s
    decision-making process.
    • Refers to repeated acts of violence in a relationship
    • Starts with minor incidents and moves on to more serious levels of violence
    • May start in a child who is a victim or witness to violence and may be repeated
    when the child becomes an adult
    • The impact of being a victim or a witness to violence on a child is traumatic.
    • It can make a child scared, unhappy, lonely, lose self-confidence, blame themselves,
    lose sleep, and pick up fights with peers.
    • Children should understand that having conflict is alright, but resolving conflict
    through violence is not right.
    • When children understand that violence is not acceptable, they will grow up into
    adults who respect other people
    PHASE ONE
    Tension Building Phase-
     Nurturing, submissive, “walking on eggshells,” afraid to express feelings, may
    use alcohol and/or drugs to avoid the situation

    PHASE TWO
    Violent Episode Phase-
    Dangerously violent, has a deliberate desire to hurt or kill, out of control,
    irrational

    PHASE THREE
    Remorseful Phase-
    Offers excuses for the batterer, may be withdrawn, tries to solve or prevent future
    incidents, hopes/believes changes will last
