Violence is defined by the WHO as intentional use of force that results in injury or harm. Globally, over 1.5 million people die from violence annually. Violence has lifelong health, social, and economic consequences. Violence can be categorized as self-directed, interpersonal, community, and collective. The causes of violence are complex and occur at personal, relationships, community, and societal levels. Approaches to preventing violence include criminal justice, human rights, and public health methods like strengthening relationships, teaching life skills, reducing substance abuse, and limiting access to harmful weapons.
It is an outcome of state of art systematic review of literature. It provides insights about the cause, consequences and future concerns of violence against women in India
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!

This document provides information on gender-based violence (GBV) risks for enumerators conducting displacement tracking matrix (DTM) assessments. It defines GBV and differentiates between sex and gender. GBV is rooted in gender inequalities and can be exacerbated by emergencies through new threats, lack of privacy, and shifts in power dynamics. While DTM enumerators are not responsible for direct GBV response, they should avoid creating additional risks and know how to refer survivors to specialized services. Mainstreaming GBV involves applying minimum standards to prevent harm.
Gender, Mental health and Violence Against Women Ranjani K.Murthy
This presentation looks at the inter-linkages between gender, mental health, violence against women and girls. It argues that it is only recently that International Conventions and Declarations have started looking at three variables together.
The presentation calls for strategies to address the linkages at the policy, protocol development, capacity building (of service providers), programmes (for women's empowerment) and at the level of understanding perpetrators.and engaging with men and boys.
Structural violence occurs through social inequalities that prevent certain groups from meeting their basic needs and realizing their full potential. It is difficult to identify perpetrators of structural violence since it is embedded within social and economic systems. Examples include inequalities in access to resources like healthcare, education, and political power. Structural violence can increase vulnerability and powerlessness, and over time can escalate into direct violence as seen in conflicts like the Rwandan genocide. Reducing structural violence requires policies that promote social justice, equal opportunities, and fair international systems of aid and trade.

The document summarizes a psychosocial program in the Great Lakes Region of Africa that addresses sexual and gender-based violence. The program operates in Rwanda, Burundi, and parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo, working through local partners to provide medical care, legal support, and community programs to over 14,000 women and 2,000 men. It takes a holistic approach addressing the root causes of violence as well as its consequences. Key lessons highlighted include the importance of professional care for victims, a systemic approach working at multiple levels of society, and the need for long-term engagement to create sustainable change.
Domestic violence is a global issue that disproportionately affects women. It can include physical, sexual, and emotional abuse by an intimate partner. Statistics show that 35% of women worldwide experience domestic violence. Reasons for the increased risk of violence against women include gender inequality, economic dependence on men, lack of legal protections, and social norms that give men power over women. Domestic violence has serious health impacts and is sometimes comparable to torture. Cultural factors also influence domestic violence rates and women's ability to leave abusive situations.

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.
This document discusses violence and its effects. It defines violence as acts intended to hurt people, and lists different forms like physical, verbal, emotional, sexual, and economic abuse. It notes that violence can be perpetrated by individuals, groups, states, or the environment. The effects of violence are psychological/emotional like depression or fear, physical like injury, and social like distorted values. The document also discusses how violence is often intergenerationally transmitted as children who witness abuse learn that it is a normal way to resolve conflicts. It concludes that breaking this cycle requires practicing non-violent child discipline.

Structural violence refers to harm that results from social structures or institutions that prevent groups from meeting their basic needs. Johan Galtung introduced the concept to describe indirect violence built into social, political and economic systems that disadvantages individuals and populations. The document discusses examples of structural violence like unequal access to resources causing hunger, mismanagement of water leading to drought, corporatization of agriculture disadvantaging small farmers, public-private partnerships draining health budgets, and cultural practices like female genital mutilation harming women's health and rights. Structural violence is invisible and normalized, but has severe impacts on human well-being and development.

This document discusses the role of men and boys in challenging gender norms in the context of HIV and gender-based violence. It finds that gender norms that promote inequitable power dynamics between men and women increase vulnerability to HIV/STIs. Changing these norms through gender-transformative programming with men and boys is an important part of prevention. Effective approaches include group education to promote reflection on gender socialization, as well as community mobilization campaigns combining multiple intervention levels. Evidence demonstrates that such interventions can positively impact gender attitudes and behaviors.

Berer gender and rights oriented health systems research cape town 2 oct 2014Lisa Hallgarten
Reproductive Health Matters publishes many papers on gender and rights-based issues related to sexual and reproductive health and rights. These papers analyze topics like gender-based violence, unsafe abortion, adolescent pregnancy, and gender inequalities in health policies and programs. They also discuss sexual and reproductive rights and how to implement rights-based approaches in health services. While gender and rights are important analytical tools, actually creating change on these issues is very slow. Future research needs to test more effective strategies to reduce gender inequality and better respect sexual and reproductive rights in order to move beyond analysis into real activism and ground-level change.
Media can play an important role in promoting accountability, gender equality, addressing climate change, and improving health. BBC Media Action has produced various media programs that have helped increase citizens' knowledge of governance issues, encourage political participation, challenge gender norms, and prepare communities for climate impacts.

Similar to Programming gaps in Male-Directed sexual violence Part 2 (20)
This report details the findings of a two-day workshop convened by the United Nations' Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict in July 2013. The conference brought together human rights defenders, medical practitioners and service providers, researchers and academics, civil society representatives, and male survivors of conflict-related sexual violence to discuss gaps in research, legal frameworks, and medical services and support among other things and suggest ways in which to address these gaps.
This document identifies gaps in research on sexual violence against males in conflict settings. It begins by defining research and outlining common research questions. It then discusses what is known about sexual violence against males, including barriers to identification and reporting of victims. However, more data is still needed on prevalence, experiences of different groups affected, and impacts. There is also little documentation of response programs and their effectiveness. Overall research gaps remain in preventing sexual violence against males and effectively protecting, assisting, and seeking justice for victims through the UN's 3P paradigm of prevention, protection, and prosecution.
During a UN-sponsored seminar on sexual violence against men and boys in conflict Prof. Lara Stemple of UCLA discussed some of the research gaps that exist in the are of male-directed sexual violence.
During a UN-sponsored seminar on sexual violence against men and boys in conflict Prof. Laurel Fletcher of UC Berkeley discussed ways in which the legal framework could be strengthened to address sexual violence against men and boys in conflict.
During a UN-sponsored seminar on sexual violence against men and boys in conflict Dr. Ernesto Mujica discussed the psychological and biological impacts of this violence.
At a UN-sponsored seminar on sexual violence in conflict against men and boys Dr. David Ndawula of Uganda spoke of the consequences of this male-irected sexual violence. Dr. Ndawula is a medical doctor with extensive knowledge of the physical, psychological and socio-economic impacts and interventions related to survivors of sexual violence.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Programming gaps in Male-Directed sexual violence Part 2
1. Sexual Violence in Conflict and Post-Conflict:
Engaging Men and Boys
Male-Directed Sexual Violence:
Increasing Understanding for a Better Response
(New York, 25-26 July 2013)
2. The ICPD Programme of Action (1994) has
promoted a history of engaging men and boys:
• In support of women’s rights, including their
right to health services
• To prevent GBV and HIV
• As partners in sexual and reproductive health
• As change agents, especially young men and
boys
• As clients of SRH services and information
Why Engage Men and Boys?
3. • Intimate partners, fathers, other male family
members
• Young men and adolescent boys
• Policymakers and other decision makers
• Religious and traditional leaders
• Uniformed service members, including police
and military personnel
Which Men and Boys?
4. • Deeply ingrained gender and social norms, and
ideas about manhood (including male sexuality)
prevent men from taking responsibility and
becoming more involved in their own and their
partners’ reproductive health.
• Addressing harmful norms, values and behaviors
necessitate thinking of gender as relational and
interconnected.
• Men have different but important needs for SRH
care and suffer directly and indirectly from GBV.
Guiding Principles and What We Know
5. • Research on male sexuality and reproduction.
• Data collection and analysis through DHS, etc.
• Mobilizing male activists to end violence against women
in Kenya, Uganda, and India.
• Developing intervention models to address men and
boys in SRH, HIV and GBV prevention.
• Working with youth and adolescent males on healthy
versions of manhood and masculinity including as a
contribution to ending violence in numerous countries
• Engaging uniformed services on SRH issues, HIV and GBV
prevention in 25 countries
Examples of Work on Engaging Men and Boy
6. • Sexual and reproductive health and rights and
GBV still seen as a “woman’s issue”
• Fear and perception among some that scarce
resources will detract focus and funding from
women and girls’ programming
• Initiatives are not sustainable and lack
institutionalization
• “Dichotomization” of the issue: women vs.
men, including overt or inadvertent
“hierarchization” of the problem
Challenges
7. UNFPA & MenEngage – Sexual Violence in Conflict
and Post-Conflict: Engaging Men and Boys
•The context of sexual violence in conflict, and in
both war and peace.
•The varied roles of men and boys as perpetrators,
survivors, witnesses, peacekeepers, police and
soldiers, service providers and change makers.
•Outlines a range of policy and programmatic
proposals focused on engaging men.
8. Some estimates concerning conflict- related
sexual violence:
•Globally, sexual violence against women, men,
adolescents and children has been reported in 51
countries that have experienced conflict within
the last 25 years
•This gives a sense of how common it is a
component or consequence of conflict (Bastick,
Grimm, & and Kunz, 2006).
9. Some estimates concerning conflict- related
sexual violence:
•One of the most rigorous studies of sexual violence in
the eastern DRC shows the magnitude of this violence
against both males and females.
•This careful study suggests that in an area with 5
million people, 1.3 million women and 0.76 million men
are survivors of sexual violence, although this includes
pre-, during- and post-conflict data (Johnson et al.,
2010, p. 561).
10. Varied roles that men and boys can play
Men as perpetrators
•Sexual violence can be consciously used by political
and military commanders with diverse objectives
•Sexual violence can also be opportunistic carried
out by individuals
•Perpetrators can even be peacekeepers, aid
workers, and other security and outside actors who
enter into conflict or post-conflict settings to help
those affected.
11. Varied roles that men and boys can play
Men as witnesses
•Sexual violence in the context of conflict is nearly
always carried out in the presence of others
•Little is known about the psychological impact on
men and boys of being made to watch sexual
violence against a loved one in the context of
conflict.
12. Varied roles that men and boys can play
Men as survivors/victims
•Within the last decade, sexual violence against men
and boys (rape, sexual torture, genital mutilation,
sexual humiliation, sexual enslavement, forcing a man
to commit incest or rape) has been reported in at
least 25 conflict settings
•Although the numbers are less than those
concerning sexual violence against women and girls,
sexual violence against men and boys is even more
underreported
13. Varied roles that men and boys can play
Men as agents of change
• Men should play a positive role in changing attitudes
towards female and male survivors of sexual violence
•Some men are in particularly advantageous positions to be
agents including soldiers, police and peacekeepers in terms
of helping rebuild society, protecting vulnerable citizens
•Aid workers, service providers and those in medical
professions play a direct role as agents of change in the
course of their daily work, and their social standing can also
give them a powerful voice in their communities
14. Programmatic Implications (I)
•Addressing the multidimensional issue of sexual
violence against any group in conflict and post-conflict
settings is complex and challenging.
•Exploring and addressing perceptions of manhood,
masculinity, male sexuality and effects on perpetration
of violence in fragile contexts is key for effective
programme interventions.
•Increase data on men’s experiences and use of GBV in
conflict, and explore existing/emerging sets of
programme responses to draw on.
•Focus on primary prevention among young people in
more stable, conflict-affected and fragile contexts.
15. Programmatic Implications (II)
•Effective prevention and response will require long-
term, comprehensive and coordinated efforts by
multiple stakeholders.
•Integrate SRH services for men within existing services
including via broader implementation of the MISP in
conflict-affected contexts.
•Scale up work with uniformed services, building on
long institutional history and experience and via
partnerships within UN Action network.
•Explore and seek opportunities for changing negative
gender norms in the context of the social upheaval of
conflict
