Discuss gender violence and its effect on women

What will be an ideal response


Women have been the object of collective violence by men throughout history. There are many reasons for this, one being the superior strength and size of men as compared to women. Domestic violence, forcible rape, acquaintance rape, and homicide are just a few of the areas in which women have been violently victimized. Women fear strangers as potential assailants, though research indicates that most rape victims know their attacker. Some sexually assaulted women are reluctant to report the crime, especially if the assault was carried out by an acquaintance. Regarding murder, women account for 22 percent of the nation's homicide victims and 11 percent of the killers. This implies women are much more often killed by men, and are much less often the killers of men.
