Topic: Gender based violence
Teacher: Ms. Mahommed
Year: 2023-2024 Table Of Content Introduction 3 Introduction Our group chose the topic gender based violence because we believe that citizens are being deprived of their human rights and gender-based violence undermines a person’s sense of self-worth and self-esteem. Gender-based violence can impact anyone and by the inclusion of intimate partner and family violence, elder abuse, sexual violence, stalking and human trafficking.
Our plan to solve this problem is to first gather information on how these violent situations start and it will be done via a questionnaire. With this information, we can provide it to other people in hopes of reducing this issue.
As we went deeper in the topic we noticed that a percent of people are
affected by this and our group has decided to further research this using a questionnaire and to collect data on if/how many people are in similar situations. When this project is done we intend to share the information by creating flyers and brochures to give out or put up. Method of Collecting Data Domestic violence in the Caribbean is as normal as rice and peas. Official statistics show that nearly 40% of women across the Caribbean experience violence at the hands of their partners. The violence is physical, sexual, economic, and emotional in nature.
This was all collected by Interviews with survivors. The data analyzed were from a cross-sectional nationally representative phone survey of individuals aged 18 years and above from persons from Trinidad & Tobago.
The survey was carried out by Students from Gasparillo of Statistics using a purely quantitative approach, and all questions were closed-ended. The sample was stratified by sex, age. This was executed this year 2023. Presentation of data
Male, Women After doing research on the internet reading different articles, looking at past videos on TV6/TTT/CNC live news cast. As a group we noted down very important points and also very approximate numbers of both men and women that are either survivors of the GBV or those who have known someone who may have experienced GBV. Human trafficking for men reached the percentage of 12%ranging from (10%-15%), whereas women were 22%ranging from (20%-25%). The figure for men who have been raped clock at approximately 15%. Women who have been raped where approximately 19% ranging from (15%-20%). Sexual harassment for men clocked approximately 28% ranging from (25%-30%). Women who have been sexually harassed were clocked 29% ranging from (25%-30%) just by 1% from men. Assault towards men were directly 15% whereas women would have been 11% ranging from (10%-15%). Men who were expelled from their home would be approximately 10% where women who was expelled from their home as well would be 6% ranging from (5%-10%) Discussion of findings The main findings of the study showed both academic and non-academic effects of GBV on men and women included stigma, low self esteem, bad performance, mental and psychological trauma as well as high thoughts of suicide. This is to encourage the public to know about GBV and also for witnesses or survivors to report such whenever they occur.
Also to make sure GBV service providers are responsive and effective. Public communities and others should develop strategies to prevent GBV focusing on the family and community level. To assist and support anti-GBV committees and organs. Lastly to encourage campaigns on different forms of GBV.
