Gender Based Violence : Intimate Partner Violence

Rodno utemeljeno nasilje je sveprisutno i učestalo kršenje temeljnih ljudskih prava u svijetu, a kao najčešći oblik rodno utemeljenog nasilja izdvaja se nasilje u intimnim partnerskim vezama. S obzirom na to da procjene prevalencije nasilja u intimnim partnerskim vezama variraju uzimajući u obzir određene demografske i druge čimbenike, u svrhu boljeg razumijevanja opisanog problema provedeno je istraživanje „Rodne predrasude i nasilje u intimnim partnerskim vezama“ na području Osječko-baranjske i Brodsko-posavske županije. Cilj istraživanja bio je istražiti i opisati razlike u stavovima prema rodnim predrasudama s obzirom na određene čimbenike kao što su rodna pripadnost, stupanj obrazovanja i područje stanovanja te opisati rodne razlike u iskustvu doživljavanja nasilja od strane intimnog partnera i povezanost rodnih predrasuda s učestalošću činjenja nasilja u partnerskim vezama. Svrha ovog rada i istraživanja je doprinos razumijevanju problema nasilja u intimnim partnerskim vezama kao najčešćeg oblika rodno utemeljenog nasilja i pružanje konkretnih informacija o prevalenciji nasilja i podržavanja rodnih predrasuda prema kojima će biti moguće preventivno djelovati u zajednici i šire. Svrha je također i poticanje zajednice na prepoznavanje i sustavno rješavanje ovog problema kako bi ga se spriječilo i sankcioniralo. Prepoznavanje i istraživanje rodno utemeljenog nasilja i nasilja u intimnim partnerskim vezama dovodi nas korak bliže eliminiranju i prevenciji istog u čemu se ogleda važnost istraživanja ove teme.Gender-based violence is pervasive and frequent violation of fundamental human rights in the world. The most common form of gender-based violence is intimate partner violence. Considering that the estimates of the prevalence of intimate partner violence vary depending on certain demographic and other factors, in order to better understand the described problem, the research „Gender prejudice and intimate partner violence“ was conducted in the area of Osijek-Baranja and Brod-Posavina counties. The aim of the research was to explore and describe the differences in attitudes towards gender prejudice considering certain factors such as gender, level of education and area of residence, but also to describe gender differences in the experience of experiencing violence by an intimate partner and the correlation between gender prejudices and the frequency of violence in intimate partner relationships. The purpose of this paper and research is to contribute to the understanding of the problem of intimate partner violence as the most common form of gender-based violence and providing concrete information about the prevalence of violence and supporting gender prejudices, according to which it will be able to act act preventively in the community and beyond. The purpose is also to encourage the community to recognize and systematically solve this problem in order to prevent and sanction it. Recognizing and researching gender-based violence and intimate partner violence brings us one step closer to eliminating and preventing it, which reflects the importance of researching this topic
