Root Causes and Global Trends of Gender-based Violence and Femicide

Gender-based violence and femicide are prevalent worldwide, caused by societal norms, patriarchal systems, and male control over women. These issues are deeply ingrained in cultures, perpetuated by a lack of education and awareness. The justice system often fails to protect victims, with cases routinely dropped or not taken seriously. It is crucial for governments, human rights advocacy groups, and society as a whole to address the root causes, go beyond headline reactions, and prioritize the comprehensive analysis and understanding of gender-based violence and femicide.
