INTRODUCTION
Gender-based violence is a phenomenon deeply rooted in gender
inequality, and continues to be one of the most notable human rights
violations within all societies. Gender-based violence is violence directed
against a person because of their gender. Both women and men
experience gender-based violence but the majority of victims are women
and girls.
Gender-based violence and violence against women are terms that are
often used interchangeably as it has been widely acknowledged that most
gender-based violence is inflicted on women and girls, by men. However,
using the ‘gender-based’ aspect is important as it highlights the fact that
many forms of violence against women are rooted in power inequalities
between women and men.
Since Gender-based violence is one of the priority issues of the
Commission of Human Rights, they think of ways to reach out to
municipalities to make research/to map current legal referral mechanisms
used by service providers, thus this seminar became their instrument.
