SEXUAL AND GENDER·BASED VIOLENCE SESSION 2: BASIC IDEAS AND DEFINITIONS

Gender Gender is a concept that describes the socially-constructed differences between

females and males throughout their life cycles. Gender, together with factors such as age, race and class, influence, inter alia, the expected attributes, behaviour, roles, power, needs, resources, constraints and opportunities for people in any culture. Gender is also an analytical tool that allows us to achieve a better understanding of factors of vulnerability with a view to more appropriately responding to need.

Sex Sex describes the physical and biological differences between males and females.

It is determined biologically and cannot be changed (without surgical intervention).

Child sexual abuse

The term child sexual abuse generally is used to refer to any sexual activity

SEXUAL AND GENDER·BASED VIOLENCE SESSION 3: DIFFERENT FORMS OF SGBV

Domestic violence

Domestic violence is a term used to describe violence that takes place between

intimate partners (spouses, boyfriend/girlfriend) as well as between other family

members.

It is defined by WHO as behaviour by an intimate partner or ex-partner that causes

physical, sexual or psychological harm, including physical aggression, sexual

coercion, psychological abuse and controlling behaviours.

Definitions


Forced marriage Forced marriage is the marriage of an individual against her or his will.

Child marriage Child marriage is a formal marriage or informal union before the age of 18

Definitions


Gender-based violence

Gender-based violence is an umbrella term for any harmful act that results in, or is

likely to result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to a woman,

man, girl or boy on the basis of their gender.

GBV is a result of gender inequality and abuse of power. GBV includes but is not

limited to sexual violence, domestic violence, trafficking, forced or early marriage,

forced prostitution, sexual exploitation and abuse and denial of resources,

opportunities and services

Definitions


Rape

Rape is physically forced or otherwise coerced penetration - even if slight – of the

vagina, anus or mouth with a penis or other body part. It also includes penetration

of the vagina or anus with an object. Rape includes marital rape and anal

rape/sodomy. The attempt to do so is known as attempted rape. Rape of a person

by two or more perpetrators is known as gang rape WHO (2002) World Report on

Violence and Health.

Definitions


Sexual abuse

Sexual abuse is any actual or threatened physical intrusion of a sexual nature,

whether by force or under equal or coercive condition

Definitions


Sexual exploitation

Sexual exploitation means any actual or attempted abuse of a position of

vulnerability, differential power, or trust, for sexual purposes, including, but not

limited to, profiting monetarily, socially or politically from the sexual exploitation of

another. Some types of forced prostitution can fall under this category.

Definitions


Sexual violence

Describes acts of a sexual nature committed against any person by force, threat of force or coercion. Coercion

can be caused by circumstances such as fear of violence, duress, detention, psychological oppression or abuse

of power. The force, threat of force or coercion can also be directed against another person.

Sexual violence also comprises acts of a sexual nature committed by taking advantage of a coercive

environment or a person’s incapacity to give genuine consent. It furthermore includes acts of a sexual nature a

person is caused to engage in by force, threat of force or coercion, against that person or another person, or by

taking advantage of a coercive environment or the person’s incapacity to give genuine consent. Sexual violence

encompasses acts such as rape, sexual slavery, enforced prostitution, forced pregnancy or enforced
