Where Equality Soars – Md Tousif

In a world where silence speaks louder than cries, from power corridors to peaceful towns, its grip is unbreakable. Despite the shadow cast by gender-based violence, we remain the steady ray of light, demanding attention.

First and foremost, violence is defined as the use of force, threats, or compulsion against someone’s will. This involves sexual, psychological, and physical violence, among other things. Gender terminology describes gender duties, conventions, and identity in opposition to sex. Here, sex refers to the physical differences between men and women.

Addressing gender-based violence is critical to achieve gender equality and sustainable development targets by 2030. This necessitates emphasizing women’s voices, upholding their rights, and maintaining public safety. This issue is worsened by triggers such as socialization, conflicts, climate change, and the normalization of violence, which disproportionately affect women, in particular those with disabilities and members of minority or indigenous populations. Prejudices is seen in a variety of ways, including unequal compensation and limited freedom, which sparks conflict and leads to socioeconomic difficulties such as prostitution.

Gender-based violence requires comprehensive social services, robust legislative framework, and government measures to eradicate its impact. Empowerment and resilience are crucial, as each stroke of empowerment helps heal the injustice scars.
