Gender-based violence is a complex and multifaceted issue, and many people, even if they do not have direct experience as a victim or perpetrator, still have difficulty understanding it. Initially, it is important to recognize that gender-based violence is not limited to physical violence. It also includes emotional, psychological and economic abuse, as well as threats and control. Most cases of gender-based violence do not occur due to force, but rather due to the desire to control and suppress another person. Regarding the question of why men commit gender-based violence and women remain in such relationships, the answers can be multifaceted and depend on the specific situation. For example, men may use gender-based violence to maintain power and control in relationships, and women may remain in such relationships due to fear, dependency, economic vulnerability, or cultural and social dynamics. Gender-based violence is a broad and complex social problem that affects many aspects of human life. It can manifest itself in various forms and contexts, including the family environment, social relationships, work environment, etc. It is important to understand that gender-based violence is not limited only to physical actions, although they often act as one of its manifestations. It also includes emotional abuse, psychological abuse, economic abuse, and threats and behavioral control. One of the main causes of gender-based violence is the desire to control and suppress another person. This may occur due to inequalities in power and status between partners, as well as cultural and social attitudes that support and reinforce inequality between genders. In addition, stereotypes about masculinity and femininity can contribute to the emergence and maintenance of gender-based violence by creating norms of behavior that justify or normalize such actions. It is important to understand that gender-based violence can affect all people, regardless of their gender, age, race, social status or other characteristics. Although women make up the majority of victims of gender-based violence, men can also be victims, and this often goes unappreciated or underappreciated in society. Gender -based violence can affect both women and men, and people of any gender identity. It is important to understand that gender-based violence is not limited to female victims, although women and girls make up a significant proportion of victims. However, men, boys and people with other gender identities can also be vulnerable to gender-based violence. Research shows that men can also be victims of gender-based violence, but the frequency and forms of violence may vary depending on cultural, social and other factors. Gender-based violence is a complex and diverse issue that requires attention and support for all victims, regardless of their gender identity. Combating gender-based violence requires a systemic approach that includes education and public awareness of the problem, strengthening legal and legal responses, support for victims, and working to change cultural norms and stereotypes about gender. Working to overcome gender-based violence requires the participation of the entire society and efforts at all levels - from the personal to the global. Gender-based violence includes a wide range of forms, including physical, emotional, sexual and economic violence, as well as threats and controlling behavior. It can manifest itself in various areas of life, including the family environment, social relationships, work environment, etc. In our world, where we strive for equality and justice, the topic of gender-based violence remains one of the most important and relevant. Gender-based violence is not only a physical problem, but also a complex socio-cultural phenomenon that covers various aspects of human life.
