women
Sexual assault Bullying Genital mutilation
Sexual abuse Physical violence Oppression

Social Consequences

Conflict and rapid social or economic change affect the extent of gender-based violence in a
society. Some social consequences are as follows;

 Rejection, ostracism and social stigma at community level.

 Reduced ability to participate in social and economic activities.
 Acute fear of future violence, which extends beyond the individual survivors to other
members in community

Economic Consequences

 Damage to women’s confidence resulting in fear of venturing into public spaces (this can
often curtail women’s education, which in turn can limit their income-generating
opportunities).
 Increased vulnerability to other types of gender-based violence.
 Job loss due to absenteeism as a result of violence.
 Negative impact on women’s income generating power.

Health Consequences

Gender-based violence has been linked to many serious health problems, both immediate and
long-term.

 Children suffer emotional damage when they watch their mothers and sisters being battered.
 Two-parent homes may break up, leaving the new female heads of household to struggle
against increased poverty and negative social repercussions.
 Victims of gender violence may vent their frustrations on their children and others, thereby
transmitting and intensifying the negative experiences of those around them.
 Children, on the other hand, may come to accept violence as an alternative means of conflict
resolution and communication.
 Anxiety, fear, mistrust of others, inability to concentrate, loneliness, post-traumatic stress
disorder, depression, suicide, etc.

Activity 2

victim look like?

What are your thoughts?
I know too many people who keep quiet about politics and social justice because they’re afraid
they’ll say the wrong thing and offend somebody. And I’m not an expert on this stuff. I don’t
choices of others.
 The one who is in
denial; and someone
who suppresses his or
her pain, seeking a fix
for a lifelong battle.
 Someone who uses self-
medication as a coping
mechanism.
 They are both harmed by
any means. Can be

violence.

particular crime; or when

criminal justice system.
 A victim is defined by
the harm that has come to
them.
 A victim is powerless, at
the mercy of others.
 Individual who have
experience sexual assault
and the likes.
always have the right language to dive into the tough topics that dominate my news feed. But
my thoughts on survivor is about the people surviving after hard challenges and more, and the
victim typically refers to someone who has recently experienced sexual assault. There is no
normal or right way to react when you find out that someone you care about has survived an
act of sexual violence. Regardless of what you’re feeling, these emotions can be intense and
difficult to deal with. The best way to be respectful is to ask for their preference.
