What are the three contributing factors that lead to women and child abuse.
Answers
Answer:
The upcoming Commission on the Status of Women in March 2013 will focus on prevention of violence against women and girls – that is, the transformation of the social environment so that new incidences of violence become less frequent and ultimately no longer occur.
Such a transformative agenda is by no means impossible – history has seen greater shifts – but it does require change at all levels of the socio-political system, along with holistic and sustained approaches from Governments.

There is generally not a single factor that results in the abuse or neglect of a child; it is usually a combination of various factors. In addition, the duration (such as the duration of an illness) or intensity (such as the level of drug or alcohol abuse) can make it more or less likely that a child will be at risk for abuse. When trying to understand child abuse and neglect, we often look at possible factors in the adult, factors based on something in society, and factors based on something about the child.
There are many deeply rooted, complicated, and interrelated societal factors that can contribute to child abuse and neglect. While we cannot list them all here, the following two factors are often identified as increasing the likelihood that child abuse and neglect will occur.
➜ Stresses of poverty
➜ Community violence
