School Related Gender Based Violence

Girls are now more likely than boys, according to recent research, to report being bullied in schools. Other studies have shown that girls are often more adept than boys in using other forms of destructive relational aggression — including exclusion, isolation, rumoring, gossiping, sarcasm, pitting friends against one another, and other revealing or altering personal secrets. Snapchat, Instagram and Twitter can further enable and boost these kinds of emotional violence between young

However, whilst the RSE curriculum aims to provide a range of skills towards teaching young people about respectful and equal relationships, the extent to which the curriculum materials address either domestic or sexual violence, has been called into question. A report by (The National Office for the Prevention of Domestic Sexual and Gender-Based Violence, 2012) found that 69% of schools believe that the SPHE/RSE curriculum did not adequately address either domestic violence (89%) or sexual violence (69%) at Junior Cycle (12-15 years) level. With regard to Senior Cycle, the report also found that most schools did not consider the SPHE/RSE curriculum to be effective for this purpose.

The disease is so dormant with no symptoms now adolescents have to risk being pregnant and contracting a disease without a cure similar to HIV. If the government could find a cure or a vaccine to stop the unknown it would be beneficial to adolescents that are having sex. Yes, they should not have sex but once they do get with a partner that does not know they had the disease they left with a scary decision. For example, many people have sex on a daily basis, and there are multiple women that have children. Women would gain with protecting their kids from the disease, so the disease would not keep caring to generation. Many people are that does not know of any treatment bring the symptoms to their children sometimes because of embarrassment of letting someone know. Although, there is medication that can be taken during childbirth that helps protects the next generation on passing it to the partner. “Neonatal herpes is one of the most serious complications of genital herpes. Healthcare providers should ask all pregnant women if they have a history of genital herpes. Herpes infection can be passed from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or in the newborn period, resulting in a potentially fatal neonatal herpes

Beverly Engel once said, “You have the right to your own ideas and opinions, to make your own decisions, and to have things go your way at times. Stand up for those rights.” This quote is the reason why students should learn about dating violence in schools. They need to know what rights they have in a relationship. Teachers should start teaching dating violence in health classes. On the other hand, certain people do not think dating violence should be taught in school, but they are wrong. High school students need to learn how to handle dating violence.

Violence against women begins in childhood and is mainly there that bullying is performed. In childhood is vulnerable to abuse and these children suffer from their condition, this is a global problem which often do not transcend beyond the limits of the family, the child suffers violence in silence, ashamed and guilt.

CONNECT is a leading, non-profit training, educational and advocacy organization dedicated to the prevention and elimination of interpersonal violence.

The major causes of verbal abuse found through research is cultural discipline from parents or guardians. The UNICEF Report: 300 Million Cases Of Violence Against Children Ages 2 To 4 believes “violence has a familiar face because it can affect children and adolescents in familiar places, such as at home, in school, their surroundings and from people they know. In most countries there is absolutely no difference in the exposure to violence, regardless of socioeconomic factors, whether they are rich or poor. One reason is that in many cultures [corporal punishment at school and at home] is perceived as the way to address and implement discipline. It is accepted and almost dismissed as not being an issue” (Cole) . This repeated theme contributes to the factor of unawareness on verbal abuse towards adolescent and society allowing abuse to be dismissed and seen as a disciplinary option..

Introduction: The topic that I will be discussing is school violence among male students. School violence is a major problem in the United Sates, and it is becoming more common. I chose to apply the anomie perspective because I believe that there is a connection between school violence and the absence of social control. According to the anomie perspective, “Society is not a flat collection of equally resourceful and fortunate individuals. It is constructed in a complex hierarchy where people are discriminatively positioned with differential access to power, status, capital, and opportunities” (page 1). Some people are more fortunate than others. Travis Hirschi is one of the advocates of the control theory, which is similar tho the anomie perspective. In the book Deviant Behavior, Thio, Taylor, and Schwarts state, “Travis Hirschi assumes that all of us are endowed like animals with the ability to commit deviant acts. Most of us do not take advantage of this ability because of our strong bond to society. Conversely, if our social bond is weak, we will commit deviant acts” (page 27). In most cases, students who take a gun to school and shoot and kill other students do not have strong social bonds, and they feel that others are more fortunate than they are because others are easily able to make friends and form meaningful relationships. They fell that those who have stronger social bonds means that they have a higher status and better opportunities to be find happiness through

Generally speaking, men are more aggressive in nature than women. In fact, violence is the one variable of which there are overwhelmingly skewed results proving gender differences. So we may ask ourselves, why do women strike men inside the house in relatively equal numbers, but nearly never resort to violence outside the home? Women for instance may argue that their aggression towards men is harmless, and that slapping a man is quite feminine. These explanations may likely have some validity, but neither addresses motivation for the violence, nor the context in which it occurs. When in actuality, empirical research on female violence tells another story. Bjorkqvist and Niemela (1992) provides us with evidence that women are as aggressive as males, but only when the chance of retaliation is minimal (Shuler, 2010).

While mortality rates have decreased over the past few years, this disease remains a major public health problem all over the world.

Sally Engle Merry’s book, “Human Rights & Gender Violence: Translating International Law Into Local Justice,” attempts to show the relationship that exists between international rights and local culture. She tries to express the way in which local government complicates the issue of gender violence on a local level in regards to the norms that have begun to take shape on an international level. While internationally, a precedent on the manner in which gender violence should be approached has taken shape, it is rather difficult to assimilate these norms into local cultures as it may contradict the values and traditions of particular local groups. Sally Engle Merry takes this issue and shapes her thesis: considering the importance of

Sexual violence is an all too common concern in modern society. Daily, there are 1,397 sexual assaults on women and children in Canada (Morris, 2013); that is nearly a sexual assault every minute of every day (p. 504). With the Jian Ghomeshi and Bill Cosby rape allegations in the news, people are beginning to take a second look at what scholar, Emilie Buchwald (1993), calls rape culture:

In a different matter, violence is also sexually segregated. Gender violence often focuses against women. As a definition, this type of gender violence refers to all types of forms through which an attempt is made to perpetuate a system of hierarchy usually imposed by a patriarchal culture. It is a type of structural violence that is directed towards women in order to maintain or increase their subordination to the male gender. Likewise, this violence is expressed through behaviors and attitudes based on a sexist belief system, which accentuates the differences supported by gender stereotypes. Gender violence also takes many forms, both in the public sphere and in private contexts. Examples of this are, among others, all forms of discrimination against women at different levels (political, institutional, labor), sexual harassment, rape, the trafficking of women for prostitution, the use of the female body as an object of consumption, the segregation based on religious ideas and, of course, all the forms of physical, psychological, social, and sexual abuse that women suffer in any context, and that cause a scale of damages that can culminate in death. In this matter, Thio describes the culture of rape through “social misconceptions regarding treating women like men’s property and the constant use of women in men’s masculinity contests” which obviously contribute to their formation.

"Denmark will continue its work to ensure fundamental human rights, to support and help survivors of violence, to explain why violence against women and girls is not acceptable, and to ensure that perpetrators are prosecuted and punished." This was spoken by the Minister for Equality and Ecclesiastical Affairs and the Minister for Development Cooperation in Denmark. The country of Denmark is a small nation that faces the problem of domestic violence. To comprehend the issue of domestic violence against women in Denmark, it is important to understand the background of the country.

In regards to the issue of gender-related violence, the literature might suggest two possible approaches. One is that the incidence of violence against women could be reduced by way of a stronger state. The second is that the incidence of violence against women is best addressed with greater representation and leadership by women. This paper will examine both of these arguments. It will conclude that neither explanation has the potential to resolve issues of gendered violence independently. The combination of a strong state and adequate female representation in parliament will decrease the prevalence of violence against women. Central to this paper will be the debate over which influence, either socialization or biology, can account for a higher number of male perpetrators of violence.
