It’s no secret that gender inequality still exists in many parts of the world, and this serves as an underlying factor in male violence against women and girls. This type of violence is not only physical but also psychological, as abusers often attempt to control or terrorize their victims through threats or intimidation. In addition to this, there are other societal issues that can contribute to male violence against women and girls such as poverty, lack of education, and limited access to resources. 

Furthermore, the prevalence of gender-based stereotypes can feed into a culture of normalizing these behaviours. While these attitudes may not be overtly expressed in the home or workplace, they can still have a detrimental effect on how men view women and girls in society. For example, when men are taught that they should be “the breadwinners” while relegating women to domestic roles or when young boys are taught that physical strength is more important than emotional intelligence. These ideas can create a dangerous narrative which leads to a lack of respect for female autonomy and ultimately contributes to male violence against women and girls. 

It is clear then that if we are serious about ending male violence against women and girls in society then we must take action both within our own communities as well as on a larger scale. On an individual level this means challenging any sexist views that we may see around us as well as engaging with conversations about gender equality with our peers or family members. On a wider scale it involves advocating for laws which will protect victims of abuse such as harsher punishments for perpetrators and increased funding towards resources such as shelters for survivors of abuse. It also means working towards creating social change by engaging in dialogue with policymakers who can shape policy changes which address issues such as toxic masculinity or gender-based discrimination within our schools or workplaces. 

Ultimately, ending male violence against women requires everyone’s participation if we want lasting change within our society. We need both men and women to come together to challenge existing ideas about gender roles while also holding perpetrators accountable for their actions so that victims feel safe enough to come forward without fear of retribution or judgment from those around them. Only then will real progress be made in eradicating this issue from our world once and for all.
