Abstract

This article explores the theoretical underpinnings of gender-based violence (GBV), tracing its historical development from cultural norms to its recognition in legal and human rights frameworks. The study also provides a comparative overview of legal and sociological definitions, emphasizing the difference between GBV and domestic violence, presenting a comprehensive typology of gender-based violence, classifying it into physical, psychological, sexual, economic, digital, and structural forms. It emphasizes how these forms are interconnected and often reinforced by digital platforms and institutional structures. It analyzes the sociocultural and psychological roots of gender-based violence and examines how patriarchal power structures, gender norms, and systemic inequalities shape perpetrator behavior and affect victims’ mental health
