| description | Gender-related violence happens inside the
home and outside in the public spaces of
cities, towns, villages and rural areas around
the world. It is part of a pattern of violence
against women driven by misogynistic, racist
and transphobic attitudes in society,
discrimination and unequal power. As such,
some people are disproportionately
targeted with violence and neglected in
efforts to address it, including women
from racialised, trans, indigenous and
low-income groups. While the crimes are
committed by individuals, the problem is
structural, enabled by state inaction and
media coverage that downplays the issue or
blames victims. By addressing these
structural causes, we can help stop
the violence and create a safer world
for all women and girls. |
