Perpetuating Factors That Contribute to Violence Towards Women

This podcasts presents an overview on violence against women. Considering it a deeply concerning issue around the world and the ubiquity of this issue strengthens the need to research the ways in which women are not being protected. Many women experience violence daily and at many different levels. The laws and policies that are intended to protect women from violence may inadvertently perpetuate the problem by insufficient enforcement, lack of support, or not holding perpetrators accountable thereby ignoring the responsibility to keep women safe.

Although many governments and organizations have taken large steps to address this issue, there are many ways that policies and laws can indirectly perpetuate violence against women such as, a lack of legal protection, discriminatory family laws, access to safe resources, and immigration policies. These factors are further discussed in depth in the podcast. Students define violence against women as including physical, sexual, physiological, reproductive, and financial abuse. We will explain how and why certain policies/laws can perpetuate violence against women.
