The unequal distribution of power and resources between women and men and adherence to rigid or narrow
Question:
The unequal distribution of power and resources between women and men and adherence to rigid or narrow gender roles and stereotypes reflects gendered patterns in the prevalence and perpetration of violence.16 The acting out of jealousy and controlling behaviour is an especially important predictor of violence.17 If the woman’s partner is engaged in controlling behaviour, she is six times more likely to experience physical violence.18 It has also been noted that psychological abuse, particularly dominance, is a strong predictor of repeat violence.19 At every level of society, gender inequalities have a profound influence on violence against women and their children. Building greater equality and respect between men and women can reduce the development of attitudes that support or justify violence.20 Other factors contribute to gender equality, such as where women from culturally and linguistically diverse communities have difficulties accessing the paid workforce or higher education. Broader social policy initiatives that address gender inequality and improve the status of women are critical to reducing violence against women.21
