Victimization of a woman victim of gender-based violence

Abstract

The article analyzes the properties of a woman - a victim of gender-based violence. The author notes that the origins of gender-based violence stem from the historical inequality of women and men. The most common type of gender-based violence is intimate partner domestic violence. Genderbased violence is not only the product of marginalized environments. Any woman, regardless of her status and position in society, can become a victim of violence. Women suffer four times as much from such violence as men. The victimization of a victim of gender-based violence is manifested in a conscious finding in a social situation in which she exposes herself to the risk of becoming a victim of a crime by her actions.
