Subject Area:

Social Sciences and Humanities

Abstract:

This article points out that gender violence is prevalent in present day Africa and manifest in various forms. Indeed there is an increasing number of assaults, harassment, domestic violence and sex-related violence. It proceeds to highlight some major forms of gender violence, which are both systemic and structural. Systemic violence in this article points to how various institutions, cultural beliefs and practices create a social climate where violence is not only tolerated but accepted as natural. For this reason we proceed in this paper to describe how forms of physical violence, cultural violence, economic violence, social violence, church institutional violence and psychological violence against women manifest themselves in our African context.
