Abstract

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) lists various forms of violence against women: rape and sexual harassment, child marriage, wife beating, prostitution, female genital cutting/mutilation, dowry-related violence, trafficking, sexual violence during wars, femicide, ‘honour’ killings, forced sterilization, pornography and bride kidnapping. “Violence against women also takes many forms of psychological abuse, intimidation and harassment. The lack of space or reluctance to voice discontentment and grievances, have added to the silence that veils these issues even though we see, hear and experience it in our daily lives.”
