Preventing gender-based violence with recognition

Published on 20.12.2019 at 17:41

Gender-based violence is a cause and consequence of gender inequalities and human rights violations, which undermines the health, dignity, security and autonomy of its survivors. On our journey to address gender-based violence through youth work, we aim at strengthening the capacity of youth and youth workers who are gender diversity and LGBTIQA+ rights advocates with quality and accessible gender-based violence prevention training skills and tools. 

 

Currently, there are inconsistencies in how gender-based violence is defined. Single indicators in gender-based violence prevention are not enough to reach targets and set inclusive preventive measures. For instance, estimates by WHO indicate that about 1/3 of women and girls worldwide has experienced physical or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence within their lifetime. But what about the marginalised LGBTIQA+ persons? 

 

Thus, there is a need to integrate gender and LGBTIQA+ rights perspectives in the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of all GBV prevention initiatives to further gather information about men, boys, LGBTIQA+ persons' perceptions on GBV. Only then, we can assess whether progress is being made or not, and stimulate public debate so that GBV prevention is owned by young generation to shape societies characterised by gender diversity and inclusion. 

 

That is, without a clear understanding of the conditions under which various forms of gender-based violence are likely to happen, we thus cannot design sustainable preventive interventions. A lot of what we know about gender-based violence comes from its survivors and witnesses. Not many turn to the perpetrators to understand how gender-based violence is used in their own particular setting. This is the reason why, our journey towards gender-based violence prevention is one of recognition and without discrimination.
