Gender based violence refers to violence directed at women that results in harm. It is perpetuated by unequal gender norms and roles in society. Types of gender based violence include intimate partner violence, sexual coercion, sexual abuse, rape, trafficking, and harmful traditional practices. Violence can be physical, sexual, or psychological in nature. Gender based violence has serious health impacts and is a public health issue. Case studies show examples of intimate partner violence, dowry deaths, harmful traditional practices against young girls, and efforts by NGOs and government to address gender based violence through counseling centers, women's police stations, and by establishing violence against women as a crime.

Safe Haven

Grantham University
April 8, 2016
Everyone has the right to a life without abuse or the fear of living through violence circumstances on a daily basis. Safe Haven has been in operation since 1983, it is an organization that serve as a shelter for victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse. In Mississippi this organization serves several counties such as Lowndes, Oktibbeha, Clay, Monroe, Choctaw, Webster, Attala, Montgomery, Calhoun and Chickasaw. The website, WomenShelter.org provides access to finding shelters for those who are in need of these facilities quickly. Shelters offer refuge to abuse victims, but they also operate Hotlines, which are there in most cases so that the victims can find the resources for help and even just to have someone to talk too. They offer shelter, and also they assist with transitional housing, family shelters for those who have children, residential treatments centers, with other residential services for women. Furthermore, Safe Haven shelters are located in many state worldwide (Safe Haven Columbus Ms - Domestic Violence Shelter, 2016).
Suppling a safe haven or place to the women and children in our communities from domestic violence and abuse should be the responsibility of every society and culture. Even through there are numerous shelters within our communities that offer victims of violence and abuse a place of safety, but there are large recorded fatalities of violence against women, and the numbers are enormously higher than that of men.
The number of American troops killed in Afghanistan and Iraq between 2001 and 2012 was recorded as 6,488, whereas the number of American women documented as murdered by current or ex male partners during the same time period was 11,766. This example shows there have been more fatalities in violence against women than that of military fatalities during the war. Statistics illustrates that 85 percent of domestic violence is women and around 15 percent will be men (Vagianos, 2014).
The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence accounts the role of the victim and the fact that they must find alternate living arrangements as fast as possible, which could offer the protection needed against their abusers. We understand that domestic violence is the essence of willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or other forms of abusive behavior as part of a systematic pattern of power and control that is perpetrated by one intimate partner against another. This could include physical or sexual violence, and also psychological and emotional abuse. The regularity and harshness of the abuse can differ significantly, but nevertheless the one constant component of domestic violence or abuse is one partner’s unfailing efforts to maintain power and dominates over the other partner (National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 2016).

8. Case Study on Intimate Partner Violence and
Women’s Contraceptive Use In US :
INTRODUCTION:-
Intimate partner violence has been hypothesized as a factor associated with
women’s risk for problems in contraception use or access. This article explores
differences in contraceptive use between abused and nonabused women, using a
case–control study of 225 women Intimate partner violence has been hypothesized
as a factor associated with women’s risk for problems in contraception use or
access.
10. This article adds to the literature on women’s contraceptive decision making as well as the discussion about
unintended pregnancies and IPV. Although this was a fairly small study, there appears to be evidence
suggestive of different contraceptive use patterns among abused and nonabused women that should be
further explored in larger studies.
11. INTRODUCTION:-
Reproductive health of women has recently
become focus of attention due to its
implications for women's own health, health
of their children, family members,
socioeconomic development of society, and
population programmes.

14. CASE STUDY
TWO GETS LIFE SENTENCE FOR
A DOWRY MURDER CASE
Erode: Principal district judge A.S Kannan awarded life sentence
to mother and son in a dowry murder case. Dharmalingam (45), a
bangle merchant of Bhavani married Jayakumari (36)16years ago.
He used to torture his wife asking for more dowries.
On Aug 29, 2009 he demanded to bring 5 sovereigns of gold from
her father ,on refusal of her, he caught hold of her and his mother
put kerosene on her and set fire her body. She sustained serious
burns and died in hospital.
This is just one example of all such tortures done on women for
dowry. She gets beating, burnt to fire, mentally tortured, forcefully
made to work as prostitutes, and the series goes on.
15. CASE STUDY
COMMUNITY VIOLENCE :
PATHETIC CONDITION OF FEMALE GIRLS:
Not only women but girls of around 5years are also part of this
violence against women.
In Jambumadai, a remote village in Trichy district.This lies in a
backward area of this districts where no river is there but depends on
rain for its every crop.
Here, a traditional practice of burying a girl till neck is followed on the
day of solar eclipse. It’s a myth here that if a girl is buried on the day
of solar eclipse from the time eclipse starts till it end, then all types of
mental and physical problem a girl is having will be cured!!! Some
times, girls do die due to improper flow of oxygen taking place by the
time when she is buried.
These types of traditional practices of playing with the life of girls
should be stopped.
16. SOCIETAL RESPONSES AND EFFORTS OF
GOVERNMENT IN CONTROLLING VIOLENCE
Many NGO’s have organized trainings and group discussions, as a
result of which “honor killings” were for the first time discussed in
public. The project led to positive changes in knowledge, attitudes
and practices among community members who increasingly began
to regard “honor killings” as a crime, rather than a legitimate means
to defend a tribe’s honor.
Recently a new family counseling center has been set by the joint
efforts of Tamilnadu social welfare board Chennai, and the Tiruchi
city police .Tiruchi is the second city in the state to have such center
with the joint initiative with police to redress the grievances of
affected women and provide relief to those in distress. There are
already 66 such counseling centers working in the state.
The concept of All women police station (AWPS) has been
successfully started .These women police station also provide
counseling through professional counselors to help women in
overcoming distress.

18. From the words of a WOMEN...

who does not behave me naïve or innocent, WHO HAS COURAGE TO TREAT
ME LIKE A WOMEN…
