    Quote
    Gender-based violence is a broader umbrella term referring to any harmful act that is perpetrated against a person’s will, and that is based on socially ascribed (gender) differences between males and females, which in most settings privilege men


    I did not realise the scientific definition was as wide as this, so it does include the actions resulting from religious beliefs.

    It'd be a pretty shitty publication if it didn't include gender violence sanctioned by  religious beliefs.
    `But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
     `Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad.  You're mad.'
     `How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
     `You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'
