Although men and women, boys and girls can be subjected to gender based violence, it is most often perpetrated by men against women and girls. Gender-based violence includes, but is not limited to, sexual violence such as rape; it also includes domestic violence and harmful traditional practices. These barriers include economic dependence on abusive spouses, fear of having their children taken away if they report the abuse, or knowing they will not be taken seriously by police.
