Gender-Based Violence: A Comprehensive Guide: For Nurses and Healthcare Professionals (EPUB)
By Parveen Ali, Michaela M. Rogers
This book describes various types of gender-based violence (GBV) and abuse in depth. GBV is a significant public health and social issue that primarily harms women and girls, typically in every community, culture, and country. GBV is the violent or patterned behavior of abuse including physical assault, sexual coercion, psychological abuse and controlling behavior that results in physical, sexual or psychological harm. It’s linked to physical and mental consequences that are severe, and can lead to death.
GBV can take various forms, including the destruction of females, the infanticide of females, the excision of females, the sexual assault of males, the stalking of males, the abuse of females, the honor of females, the rape of males, the sexual assault of females, the domestic violence of males, and the intimate partner violence of females. It can occur in settings that are public, private or virtual, and in the context of personal, family, community and institutional relationships. While all of these forms are more common in girls and women, men and boys can also be subjected to various types of violence, including child abuse, sexual abuse, warfare violence, corporal punishment, and other forms.
This book takes a singular approach and provides a general description of gender-based violence and associated traditions throughout the globe. The book is written in a simple style that is intended to be accessible to a large audience including students, practitioners, and researchers. Edited by a social health expert and a social worker, the book’s contributions come from a variety of fields, including nurses, midwives, social care and social work professionals, police, teachers, psychologists, and sociologists.
