Abstract
Gender-based violence in all
forms – physical, psychological
and economic remains one of
the most detrimental affronts
to the lives of women. GBV
is attributed to a number
of factors including cultural
attitudes and misconceptions;
subordination of women
and political factors such
as the existence of conflict;
which disrupt social relations
and increase vulnerability
particularly of women and
children.
