understanding in depth about gender-based violence.

-

 Gender-based violence is a phenomenon deeply rooted in gender inequality and continues to be one of the most notable human rights violations within all societies. Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person         because of their gender. Both women and men experience gender-based violence but the majority of victims are           women and girls. Gender-based violence and violence against women are terms that are often used interchangeably as it has been widely acknowledged that most gender-based violence is inflicted on women and girls, by men. However, using the ‘gender-based’ aspect is important as it highlights the fact that many forms of violence against women are rooted in power inequalities between women and men. The terms are used interchangeably throughout EIGE’s work,  reflecting the disproportionate number of these particular crimes against women.

    I can also define GBV as a situation where we as people suffer from,but the GBV likely to occur to women and girls so it happens to men but it tells us to be more aware of men as women.

    It is difficult to be the victim of GBV because you will always be afraid amongst others trusting nobody because of what happenes to you. GBV must stop

How Gender based violance affects childern

 Children who are not physically harmed also suffer from a variety of negative consequences. When a youngster observes family violence, they come to realize that their home is not safe and secure, and they are compelled to start worrying about their own future as well as the future of their loved ones. Compared to children who have grown up without seeing violence in their homes, children who witness family violence are twice as likely to experience psychiatric problems such post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety. Insomnia, phobias, anger, low self-esteem, and reduced problem-solving abilities are just a few examples of the long-term cognitive, behavioral, and emotional changes that can happen. Children who have witnessed violence occasionally vent their rage on their mistreated mothers. A woman may find it difficult to be emotionally available to her kid if she has personally experienced trauma, despite her best efforts. Contrary to popular belief, children who ha...

Police Minister Bheki Cele engages with Khayelitsha men on GBV and femicide in society One of the issues brought up by the men who attended the Imbizo Ya Madoda yesterday in Khayelitsha, where Police Minister Bheki Cele joined them, was this. The event's goal was to encourage and promote men's active and meaningful participation in the fight against gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF), domestic violence, and sexual offenses. The imbizo follows the gang rape of a 19-year-old Makhaza woman who is currently recovering in the hospital after she was allegedly assaulted and raped while returning home from a friend's house by an ex-lover and his buddies. Men from the Harare, Lingelethu-West, Site B, and Makhaza policing precincts made up the majority of attendees during the imbizo. The number of GBV cases in these regions was among the highest. .The divide within the justice system was also criticized by the men. They said that granting bail meant undoing the work that the p...
