What is it about?

Women violence is a widespread problem that affects millions of women and girls across the world. The gender-based violence that threatens the well-being, dignity, and rights of women extends across social, cultural, economic, and regional boundaries. Women in all countries, irrespective of status, class, age, caste, or religion, experience violence once in a lifetime. However, specific groups of women suffering from various forms of discrimination, such as women with disabilities, migrant women, and lesbian, bisexual, and transgender women, are particularly vulnerable to violence. In this chapter, the author presents brief knowledge about the different type of violence against the women and also describe laws, policies, and social work which is used for the safety of the women. The theoretical framework is used to describe the remedies against violence and also help to provide love, safety, security, and shelter for every individual woman.

Why is it important?

The work is presenting in this chapter is related to the violence against women. All human beings are evaluated based on a biological basis. But when we talk about gender-based rights then we found that there is a huge gap in the fields of social, political, economic, religious, cultural, educational, health, civilizational, and communicative opportunities. This is a global issue affecting women throughout the globe. The chapter is based on the three objectives, (i) to clarify the types of violence against women, (ii) to examine the global as well as national efforts made so far to combat violence against women, and (iii) to propose the different ways to improve the situation. Naturally, the sources and material used in such an analysis are mainly secondary and this chapter is no exception to it.
