give your own position on this gender based violence in your country
Answers
Answer:
Gender-based violence (GBV) or violence against women and girls (VAWG), is a global pandemic that affects 1 in 3 women in their lifetime.
Explanation:
Violence against women and girls in India is widespread. Despite some progressive legislative measures in recent years, brought about due to pressure from women’s rights movements, the media and public campaigns, many women continue to experience discrimination and violence in their everyday lives.
Gender-based violence takes place in both public and private spheres. It is often under-reported as a result of systemic and social barriers, and formal mechanisms to address it remain ineffective.
Women from Dalit, Adivasi and other marginalised communities are disproportionately affected by violence. Their marginalisation also narrows their avenues to access justice.
