Forms of gender-based violence, including physical, sexual, psychological, and economic violence

There are several types of gender-based violence, including:


Verbal violence

Verbal violence, also known as verbal abuse or verbal aggression, is a form of aggressive behavior that involves the use of words, tone, or language to harm, belittle, intimidate, or control another person. While it can occur in various contexts, including personal relationships, workplaces, and public spaces, it is also a significant aspect of gender-based violence.

 Psychological violence

Psychological violence, also referred to as emotional or mental abuse, is a form of violence that primarily targets a person's psychological well-being, emotions, and mental health. It involves behaviors or actions that manipulate, control, degrade, or intimidate an individual, causing emotional harm and distress. Psychological violence can occur in various contexts, including personal relationships, workplaces, educational settings, and institutions

Sexual violence

Sexual violence is a form of gender-based violence that involves any non-consensual sexual act or behavior imposed on an individual. It encompasses a wide range of actions that are intended to exercise power, control, and dominance over the victim. Sexual violence can occur within various contexts, including intimate relationships, families, communities, schools, workplaces, and during armed conflicts

Socio-economic violence

Socio-economic violence, also known as economic abuse or financial violence, refers to a form of abuse in which an individual's economic resources and financial independence are controlled, exploited, or withheld by another person. It is a tactic used to exert power and control over the victim, often in the context of an intimate relationship. Socio-economic violence can occur across various socio-economic backgrounds and can affect both women and men

Domestic violence

Domestic violence, also known as intimate partner violence, is a pattern of abusive behavior that occurs within an intimate relationship. It involves the exertion of power and control by one partner over the other through various forms of violence and abuse. While domestic violence can occur in any relationship, it predominantly affects women and is rooted in gender inequality and societal power imbalances.

Physical violence

Physical violence is a form of aggression that involves the use of physical force or harm against another person. It is a direct act of inflicting physical pain, injury, or bodily harm, often with the intention to exert power, control, or dominance over the victim.
