GENDER DIMENSIONS OF VIOLENCE IN MODERN SOCIETY

Summary/Abstract: Every social phenomenon, every social and natural process with all its causes, outcomes and consequences, then mutual relations and interactions between people take place primarily within families, different groups, communities, societies and ultimately states. The majority of countries and societies are made up of the male and female population of the country and the membership of the society in almost the same ratio with all other differences: in terms of age, race, education, gender, economic and other characteristics. The mentioned characteristics precisely contribute to the formation of prejudices, stereotypes, and discrimination, which ultimately, if not eliminated, result in the appearance of various forms of violence in the state and society. Historical legacies and traditions passed down from generation to generation regarding gender inequality contribute to different gender dimensions of violence and gender-based violence. In this paper, the author will offer a theoretical contribution to the definition and understanding of the concepts of sex and gender, gender relations, and then perform a more detailed approach to the analysis of the concept of violence, with an emphasis on gender-based violence. The aim of the work is to point out the existence of different causes of gender-based violence, which manifest themselves through different forms of violence, violence against women, domestic violence, sexual violence, economic violence, psychological violence, which ultimately result in direct violence and femicide.
