Violence against women and girls is also called gender-based violence and is one of human rights violations reported to be the most widely known in the world.

Such violence takes various forms from intimate partners and families. Physical and sexual violence to children under the name of "honor", "traditional" or "religious" marriage, trafficking, female genital mutilation, female murder and violence. The type of violence faced by women and girls depends on their social, ethnic, cultural and religious background, economic environment and age. The association of all these behaviors is that men are more likely to act on women and the main purpose of violence is to maintain a system in which women are subordinate to men.
