Gender Violence
Gender violence, also known as gender-based violence or gender based violence, encompasses a large variety of crimes committed like rape, sexual harassment, stalking, human trafficking, domestic abuse, genital mutilation, and forced prostitution all based on ones gender[1]. Although much gender-based violence is directed towards women and, the terms are often treated as if they were interchangeable, gender violence is not exclusively used to refer to violence against women.[1] Thus, violence against men, boys, transgendered people, or people targeted due to LGBTQI status can also be classified as gender-based violence.[1]
Gender is a high predictor of rape, sexual assault, and domestic abuse. 99% of rape cases are committed by men, whether it be female, male, or a member of the LBGTQI community.[2] When the word gender violence is used it has a strong connotation with violence against women because 1 in 3 women globally experience physical and or sexual violence within there lifetime. [3] Risks factors for these acts to occur are low levels of education, anti social personality disorder, alcohol abuse, attitudes that condone violence, and past histories of violence.
Gender violence in the LBGTQI community has had a focus of transgendered people.[3] In the past year of 2017, 25 transgendered people were killed based on there gender identification in the United States alone and out of that 80% of them identified as female. [4] The LGBTQI community is a large target for gendered hate crimes because of people not believing in there lifestyles and or gender changes[4]. You see a pattern here with regards to gender minorities being singled out for how they identify. This comes down to cultural views and how people view gender.[4] These crimes committed are driven by unprecedented biases and or hatred against a certain group like females and or transgendered people. [5]
Many different things can be done to help put a stop to gendered violence. Promoting concepts such as gender equality and intergrating it in school-curriculum can prevent gender-based violence.[6] In accordance to that approaching these crimes as males issues as well can help educated men on how to take action and help. Another way is to recognize when you see violence being enacted and speaking out as you may be saving someones life.[6]
