What is the causes of GBV

There are several underlying causes of Gender-Based Violence (GBV), including:

1. Patriarchal norms and gender stereotypes that perpetuate unequal power dynamics between men and women.
2. Societal acceptance and normalization of violence against women and girls.
3. Poverty and economic inequality, which can lead to increased vulnerability to violence.
4. Lack of access to education and opportunities for women and girls.
5. Cultural and religious beliefs that justify or condone violence against women.
6. Weak legal frameworks and ineffective enforcement of laws protecting women's rights.
7. Alcohol and drug abuse, which can increase the likelihood of violent behavior.
8. Conflict and instability, which can exacerbate existing gender inequalities and increase the prevalence of GBV.
9. Limited awareness and education about gender equality and human rights.
10. Lack of support services for survivors of GBV.
