A major societal issue, violence against women and children has consequences for society at many levels. Everyone is at risk from violence, but women and children are especially vulnerable because they frequently lack the necessary protections or have less rights. Certain forms of violence are considered socially or legally acceptable in some communities, which increases the risk to women and children. Research over the last ten years has shown that this type of violence is becoming more widespread, but there are still data gaps.
Victims of any kind of violence are sometimes reluctant to report crimes because they fear social censure or stigmatization. The problem is made worse for women and children since the offenders are frequently people they know, and some nations do not have laws or policies that protect victims. According to some of the data gathered, violence against women can vary from 15 to 71 percent in some nations, while violence against children can reach 80 percent. These statistics show that violence against women and children is widespread and has a significant negative impact on world health.
Preventing Violence against Women and Children focuses on these elements of the cycle as they relate to interrupting this transmission of violence. Intervention strategies include preventing violence before it starts as well as preventing recurrence, preventing adverse effects (such as trauma or the consequences of trauma), and preventing the spread of violence to the next generation or social level. Successful strategies consider the context of the violence, such as family, school, community, national, or regional settings, in order to determine the best programs.
This seminar aims to conduct discussions among legal luminaries, academicians, scientists, industrialists, environmentalists, and other stakeholders. The seminar seeks to distillate the various suggestions and experiences of diverse experts to ensure a fruitful proceeding of the seminar.
Moreover, this International seminar provides a premier interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, and educators to present and discuss the most recent trends and concerns as well as challenges encountered and solutions under the topic of discussion.
