Gender Violence- Definition and kinds


GENDER VIOLENCE- Definition and kinds


Violence against women is one of the most tangible manifestations of the economic, social, political and cultural inequalities that exist between men and women. Violence against women constitutes a violation of their human rights and fundamental freedoms, manifesting itself in numerous forms.


There are five types of abuse:
  1. Physical: This type is the most evident and includes any act that is not accidental that causes or can cause damage to the woman’s body. For instance: slapping, punching, beating, cutting, injuring, burning, killing…
  1. Psychological: This includes all behaviours which damage self-esteem or cause emotional suffering in a woman: threats, humiliations, forced obedience and trying to convince the victim that she is always guilty. Also: insults, controlling all exits of the house, public humiliations, putting down, controlling money, physical abuse of pets, isolating.
  1. Sexual: In this form of abuse the abuser forces the victim to have sex against their will.
  1. Economic: This occurs when the victim doesn’t have access to her money because the abuser controls it, even if she is economically independent.
  1. Social: This consists of the abuser isolating the woman from her family and friends by not allowing her to see or contact them. He might also force her to move far away from the city where they lived.
