    Looking at the issue of violence against women from a gender perspective recognizes that 

    • Male violence towards women is instinctive. Women have to accept a certain degree of violence

    • Violence against women is a manifestation of prevailing unequal power relations between women and men

    • It is also women’s fault if men are violent with women.

    • All of the above

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Violence against women is a manifestation of prevailing unequal power relations between women and men
    Explanation
    Violence affects us all but in most cases it targets women and girls and is perpetrated by men. This is not to say that men are genetically designed to be violent but that as long as gender inequalities persist in our societies, and that serious efforts are not made to build more balanced and mutually supporting gender roles, women will continue to suffer.

    The correct answer is 19. This means that as of 2007, only 19 countries worldwide had achieved the goal of having women make up a critical mass of 30% of parliamentarians. This indicates that gender representation in politics was still a significant issue in the majority of countries at that time.

This could be due to various factors such as gender inequality, limited access to education and job opportunities, and discrimination. Women often face additional challenges and barriers that contribute to their higher representation among those living in poverty.
