Abstract
Gender-based violence is a serious violation of human rights and with long-term physical and mental health consequences, even death. Although anyone can be a victim of violence, we know that it disproportionately affects women and girls putting them especially at risk. Whilst not a comprehensive guide, this book attempts to explore and represent a nuanced understanding of gender-based violence. It hopes to highlight the far-reaching impacts of gender-based violence, and its many related practices, along with policy and practice responses. The conclusion chapter presents a summary of the book and urges thinkers and scholars to come together from different perspectives to combat this deeply pervasive and complex crime.
