Violence against women is a global issue that occurs in both private and public spheres. It takes many forms, including physical, sexual, and psychological harm. While laws have been enacted in many countries to address this issue, violence against women remains prevalent throughout the world. Effective solutions require efforts across multiple levels, including changes to social norms, strong legal frameworks and their enforcement, education programs, and ensuring women's empowerment and equality.
Gender-Based Violence in Afghanistan by Wazhma HakimiDr. Wazhma Hakimi
Harmful practices identified as Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in Afghanistan, Prevalence of GBV in Afghanistan and Government Efforts to tackle Violence against women (VAW).
Violence against women in Sri Lanka is an issue for concern in the country. 1992 Vienna Declaration provides a useful starting point to identify what constitutes violence against women. 1978 Constitution of Sri Lanka in article 12(2) sets out the principle of non-discrimination on the ground of sex. Article 12(4) further provides for affirmative state action for the special advantage of women. Thus, in keeping with the commitment made in the Constitution, Sri Lanka ratified the Convention for the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). Sri Lanka is also a signatory to a number of other International Conventions including the Covenant of Civil and Political Rights. Hence, there should be special laws to consider Domestic Violence as a criminal offence and punish the perpetrators.
A social issue is a problem that influences many citizens within a society. It is a common problem in present-day society and one that many people strive to solve. It is often the consequence of factors extending beyond an individual's control. Civil war has brought a variety of social ills in Afghanistan, such as poverty, interethnic strife, inequality of women, and widespread thievery, kidnapping, and banditry. Blood feuds handed down through generations are legendary, and revenge is regarded as a necessary redress of wrongs. The civil war has strengthened these tendencies.

Women's empowerment has become a significant topic of discussion in development and economics. It can also point to approaches regarding other trivialized genders in a particular political or social context. Women's economic empowerment refers to the ability for women to enjoy their rights to control and benefit from resources, assets, income and their own time, as well as the ability to manage risk and improve their economic status and well being. While often interchangeably used, the more comprehensive concept of gender empowerment refers to people of any gender, stressing the distinction between biological sex and gender as a role. It thereby also refers to other marginalized genders in a particular political or social context.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

1. Violence against women
Physical, Sexual or Mental harm or suffering
to women
Dr. Pooja.S.Kushwaha
Jaipuria Institute of Management, Indore
2. History
• The history of violence against women remains vague in
scientific literature.
• many kinds of violence against women often go unreported or
under-reported due to societal norms, taboos, stigma, and the
sensitive nature of the subject.
• 18th-century English common law allowing a man to punish
his wife using a stick "no wider than his thumb." This rule for
punishment of wives prevailed in England and America until
the late 19th century

which women’s freedom from violence has been secured.
• UN designated November 25 as the International Day for the
Elimination of Violence against Women.

programmes have aimed at women‟s
advancement in different spheres

14. India still has one of the lowest
sex ratios on the world with
approximately 35 million women
"missing". The highest number
of missing women at birth is in
the north-western states of
Punjab, Rajasthan and Haryana,
etc. Research indicates that 12%
of this gap is found at birth
which increased to 25% in
childhood.
15. The National Crime Research Bureau
statistics indicate that an Indian woman is
most unsafe in her marital
home with 43.6% of all crimes against
women being "cruelty" inflicted by her
husband and relatives.
These numbers do not include incidences
of marital rape, as India does not recognize
marital rape as an offence of the 24,923
rape incidences in India in 2012, 98% of
the offenders were known to the victim.
In India grow up in a situation where they
see violence against women as the norm.
16. The Nirbhaya effect
• amendments included recognizing acid
attacks, sexual harassment, voyeurism,
stalking and trafficking of persons as criminal
acts under the amendments to the Indian
Penal Code, 1860.

deal with cases of sexual violence against
women.
• Women’s distress helpline number, 1091 was
launched in various Indian cities.
17. The Verma Committee
suggested that marital rape
should be recognized as a
criminal offence but the
suggestion was opposed by
all major Indian political
parties.
18. Views!!
• Instilling particular values to boys and girls, at
home, at school and in the public sphere
• India’s first female Assistant Solicitor General,
Indira Jaising, pointed out that “no amount of
Fast Track Courts and Special Courts will
deliver justice to women, if those who hold
the high office of a Judge of the High Court
hold and express male chauvinistic views”.
19. Together we can!!
• If a brother, friend, classmate, or teammate is
abusing his female partner. DON’T REMAIN
SILENT.
• If you suspect that a woman close to you is being
abused or has been sexually assaulted, gently ask
if you can help.
• Educate yourself and others about how larger
social forces affect the conflicts between
individual men and women.
• As a mother , sister mentor and teach young boys
about how to be men in ways that don’t involve
degrading or abusing girls and women.
20. There is no chance for the welfare of the world
unless the condition of the women is improved. It
is not possible a bird to fly only on one wing.
Vivekananda
