The Lancet Series on Violence Against Women and GirlsTheLancetWeb
Every day, millions of women and girls worldwide experience violence. This abuse takes many forms, including intimate physical and sexual partner violence, female genital mutilation, child and forced marriage, sex trafficking, and rape. The Lancet Series on Violence against women and girls shows that such abuse is preventable. Five papers cover the evidence base for interventions, discuss the vital role of the health sector in care and prevention, show the need for men and women to be involved in effective programmes, provide practical lessons from experience in countries, and present a call for action with five key recommendations and indicators to track progress.

The primary challenge facing the twenty-first century is to eliminate violence against women. At minimum, 1 in 3 women face violence that suppresses their political and civic participation. Until it is confronted, we will not be able to tackle peace holistically or sustainably, and our development dollars are not being used effectively. Like polio, Rotarians are key to meeting this challenge!

Measuring Gender-based violence: Results of the Violence Against Women (VAW) ...Md. Alamgir Hossen
ABSTRACT: The constitution of Bangladesh guarantees equal rights for both men and women in all spheres of state and public life. It also declares that steps shall be taken in ensure participation of women in all spheres of national life. Bangladesh Government has been continuously adopting of the preemptive policies, legislation, strategies and taking national affirmative action plans and program for accelerating the implementation process in achieving the goal of holistic empowerment of women. Violence against women (VAW) is a global phenomenon that exists even beyond cultural, geographical, religious, social and economic context. Violence against women is widespread in terms of Physical, psychological, sexual and economic aspects. Despite the increased attention to the problem of VAW, there is still a substantial lack of information and data on the scope and extent of the incidence. Detailed data on women’s experience of violence is needed in order to better understanding the phenomenon and developing targeted policies and measures to prevent and combat VAW. Bangladesh has become one of the pioneers through conducting the VAW Survey 2011. The results of VAW Survey 2011 identified that as many as 87% of currently married women have ever experienced any type of violence by current husband and 77% reported any type of violence faced during the past 12 months from the survey time. The higher percentage of any type of violence is predominantly contributed by psychological violence. Almost 90% of those who have ever violated by current husband has the past 12-month experience of violence which implies the persistence nature of violence by the husband. 65 percent of married women reported that they had experienced physical violence committed by their current husbands during their lifetime. About one-third of women who have ever violated by non-partner have the past 12-month experience also. More than four percent of women have ever experienced sexual violence by non-partner, and one percent of women experienced during the past 12 months. To maintain international comparability the standard questionnaire recommended by United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD) was customized to fit with the socioeconomic context of Bangladesh. For this customization group consultation meetings were conducted with different stakeholders. Local female registrars among BBS’s Sample Vital Registration System (SVRS) were recruited as interviewers as they are well trained on data collection and have rapport with the ultimate respondents. Stakeholders like UN agencies, civil society and INGO/NGOs working for VAW issue along with different government bodies were involved with the survey processes. The report on Violence Against Women survey recommended to conduct the survey to follow up the changes in the results at every two years. Consultation with the users, experts, policy makers, planners, researchers and NGOs should be expanded with special care for future episodes o

Talks about women's rights in India as well.
“Combat and rape, the public and private forms of organized social violence, are primarily experiences of adolescent and early adult life. The United States Army enlists young men at seventeen; the average age of the Vietnam combat soldier was nineteen. In many other countries boys are conscripted for military service while barely in their teens. Similarly, the period of highest risk for rape is in late adolescence. Half of all victims are aged twenty or younger at the time they are raped; three-quarters are between the ages of thirteen and twenty-six. The period of greatest psychological vulnerability is also in reality the period of greatest traumatic exposure, for both young men and young women. Rape and combat might thus be considered complementary social rites of initiation into the coercive violence at the foundation of adult society. They are the paradigmatic forms of trauma for women and men.”

Ending violence against girls and women cristinagss
Domestic violence, sexual violence against women and human trafficking are the three most pervasive problems women rights activists from the Good Shepherd Sisters Congregation encounter in the 72 nations in which they operate. To better understand how women fall prey to this cycle of violence and abuse the New York-based NGO, Good Shepherd International Justice Peace Office (GSIJP) undertook a globe-spanning survey to determine who’s most at risk and how this pattern can be broken. Here are the results.

ZGB - The Role of Generative AI in Government transformation.pdfSaeed Al Dhaheri
This keynote was presented during the the 7th edition of the UAE Hackathon 2024. It highlights the role of AI and Generative AI in addressing government transformation to achieve zero government bureaucracy
1. WHY SUPPORT OUR WORK
PRESENTING 16 REASONS FOR 16 DAYS
The 2017 Prajnya 16 Days Campaign against Gender Violence
2. 57 % of Indian girls marry before turning 18 compared
to 36% globally. Girls married very young are twice as
likely to report being beaten, slapped or threatened by
their husbands.
It’s never too early to start the conversation
about gender equality and violence. Prajnya
campaign calendars have regularly included
age-appropriate awareness activities for
students.
3. 1 in 3 women have experienced either physical and/or
sexual violence in their lifetime, according to the World
Health Organisation.
“Gender violence does not happen to people
like us.” Prajnya campaign activities seek to
make violence visible. Our Ribbon Plants and
our Mannequins, where each ribbon or sticker
represented a victim or survivor, fill up within
a day or two, reminding people that violence is
everywhere.
4. Official figures in 2015 stated that 24,771 dowry deaths
were reported over the previous three years.
The Prajnya Gender Violence in India Report
regularly compiles available data on gender
violence and offers perspective on the
numbers. Other campaign information
initiatives include ‘factboxes’ in the media, op-
eds and features.
5. 25% of married Indian women surveyed have experienced
physical or sexual violence and 10% emotional violence,
according to NFHS 3. It is more likely the longer she is married;
if she goes out to work and if she thinks husbands have a right
to be violent with their spouses.
“Gender violence is never ever justified.”
This is the refrain that runs through our
neighbourhood chats, our social media
engagement and our student programmes.
6. 54% of women participating in the National Family
Health Survey (NFHS 3) believed that a husband is
justified in beating his wife.
Since 2014, Gender Equality Mobilisers have
expanded the reach of the Prajnya campaign
by taking the message into their own spheres,
social and professional. The GEMS have
hosted discussion groups, created resources
including story-telling videos and organised
events like cycling rallies and runs to raise
awareness.
7. Women are killed by relatives in the name of family
honour for all sorts of presumed misdemeanours from
being raped to premarital sex--an old UN estimate
speculated this number 5000 a year.
Getting people to share their experiences and
express themselves is part of the process of
ending the silence around gender-based
violence. Theatre workshops, poetry readings
and concerts have been a regular campaign
feature, bringing the personal into the public
sphere. In 2016, we added letter-writing to
this.
8. The National Crime Records Bureau has found that
more than 90 women are raped every day and 75% of
rapists are known to their victims.
Self-defence has regularly featured in our
campaigns as a tool for building physical
confidence.
What we promote an end to gender-based
violence based on equality, not protection,
avoidance and prohibition.
9. Initially and usually perpetrated for personal reasons,
acid attacks have the effect of deterring girls from
entering and working in public spaces.
Our campaign interventions stress that
gender-based violence is not just an
interpersonal issue; it is also a public health
challenge and an economic issue. Prajnya
campaigns have organised special interactions
between stakeholders as well as Public Fora on
violence, public health and public safety.
10. One in three Indian women who have undergone
sterilisation has done so without their consent.
A campaign to end gender violence must
include discussions on rights and access, as our
campaign does, through real and virtual
symposia, lectures and media interventions.
11. Women with a history of experiencing violence are less
likely to negotiate condom use, making them
vulnerable to HIV and other sexually transmitted
diseases.
Campaigns have explored the gender violence-
health interface through training sessions on
mental health and violence, as training for
nurses on responding to signs of violence and
discussions with health care providers.
12. Research shows that children who witness violence in
their early years are likely to become abusive adults.
Boys are more likely to be abusers; girls are more likely
to justify and receive abuse.
When we recognise that violence is not normal,
acceptable or justified, we will end the silence
that protects perpetrators. At Prajnya, we
create settings that make it possible to speak
out--multi-generational conversations, closed
discussions on parenting and cyber-safety,
even tea-parties for service providers!
13. Over 68% of child domestic workers surveyed in a
regional Indian study reported physical abuse, of
which more than 20% were coerced into sexual
intercourse.
Campaign programmes are usually planned in
partnership with like-minded organisations
or institutions, and we learn from each
partner.
Campaign relationships are coalitions for
change.
14. The journey from the Vishaka Guidelines (1997) to the
Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace
(Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act (2013) took
16 years. How long for universal compliance?
Every campaign since 2008 has included
training or workshops on workplace sexual
harassment.
15. Women with disabilities are more likely to be abused
by their partners than those without.
With each campaign, our own understanding
deepens and new dimensions enter our
programme agenda, from disability to
sexuality to gender normativity—we learn all
the time even as we share information with
the community.
16. Women senior citizens outnumber men in India but
economic dependence makes older Indian women,
especially widows, vulnerable to humiliation and
neglect by their families.
Vulnerabilities overlay and reinforce each
other. Prajnya campaigns place the spotlight
on these intersections as part of the work of
ending deeply embedded patterns of violence
in society.
17. Abduction and rape of women across conflict lines is
now recognized as a war crime. Girls are also abducted
and trafficked to perform labour for the armed forces
and groups within conflict zones.
Violence is experienced as a continuum.
Prajnya campaign programmes engage with
that continuum, addressing personal choices at
one end and conflict and displacement at
another.
