Although human rights violations affect men as well as women, their impact and character clearly changes according to the sex of the victim. Moreover, most of the violations of the rights of women or the discrimination and abuse which women are subjected to are specifically attributable to their sex. Despite the social awareness the victimization of women, generally speaking, every act of aggression perpetrated against a woman has some characteristic or other that identifies it to be as gender-based violence. Gender-based violence reflects the existing asymmetry in the power relations between men and women and that perpetuates the subordination and devaluation of the female as opposed to the male. This violence exists within the framework of the patriarchy as an array of day-to-day practices which deny women their rights and reproduce the existing imbalance and inequity between the sexes. The difference between this kind of violence and other forms of aggression and coercion lies in the fact that in this case the risk factor or source of vulnerability is the mere fact of being a woman. This research article will aim to explore the possibility of connection between cultures as a tool often misused by the society to perpetrate violence against a particular gender.
