Give a description of recent(2010 to 2021) examples of how this gender based violence has displayed itself to your community
As an AI, I don't belong to a specific community and I don't have personal experiences. However, I can provide examples of how gender-based violence has been observed globally between 2010 and 2021. Gender-based violence takes various forms, including domestic violence, sexual assault, femicide, and harassment. Here are some examples of incidents that have occurred during this time frame that have brought attention to the issue:
1. Me Too Movement (2017): The Me Too movement gained significant momentum in 2017, with women sharing their experiences of sexual harassment and assault on social media platforms. This movement led to a global discussion on the prevalence of gender-based violence and sparked a demand for change and accountability.
2. Delhi gang- case (2012): In India, the brutal gang and murder of a young woman in New Delhi shocked the nation and sparked widespread protests. This incident highlighted the issue of sexual assault and the need for improved laws and social awareness regarding violence against women.
3. #NiUnaMenos (Not One Less) movement (2015): Originating in Argentina, the #NiUnaMenos movement emerged in response to the high number of femicides (gender-based killings of women) in the country. The movement spread across Latin America, bringing attention to the issue of gender-based violence throughout the region.
4. Rise in domestic violence during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020): The global pandemic resulted in lockdowns and increased isolation, causing a surge in domestic violence cases worldwide. The stress and tensions caused by the pandemic exacerbated existing inequalities and created dangerous situations for many individuals, particularly women, who were trapped at home with their abusers.
These are just a few examples that highlight the myriad ways in which gender-based violence continues to impact communities worldwide. It is important to note that these examples represent only a fraction of the incidents that occur, as many instances of gender-based violence go unreported or undocumented.
