This PRESENTATION is Dedicated to

JYOTI PANDEY Delhi Gang Rape Victim

This presentation is based upon the premise that

violence against women and children

should be the central core of the criminal justice system.

Viewing child abuse

through the prism of woman

battering reveals that both

problems originate in

conflicts over gender identity

and male authority.

Victims are referred to as females or children in this paper because the overwhelming majority of victims are women or children.

Bringing rape and violence to the forefront is crucial. Women and children worldwide face violence at startlingly high rates. Women can't gain equality as long as it is acceptable for people to use violence to keep them unequal.

The combination of

male control,

misleading psychological knowledge

about women's propensity for "bonding”

Domestic Violence is a pattern of behaviour used by one person

to maintain power and control over another

Physical battering is not the only form of abuse.

Emotional and sexual abuse, including insults, intimidation, threats and forced sex are also part of an abusive relationship.

Physical, sexual and

emotional abuse

of women and children

should be seen as a

serious social problem

resulting in cross-generational

perpetuation of violence.

WHAT WE CAN DO?

The best way to prevent women and child abuse is through female empowerment.
