Gender-based violence undermines the core values of human rights on which the
Council of Europe is based and to which its member states have subscribed
Gender-based violence refers to any type of harm that is perpetrated against a
person or group of people because of their actual or perceived sex, gender,
sexual orientation and/or gender identity. Gender-based violence can be
sexual, physical, verbal, psychological (emotional), or socio-economic and it
can take many forms – from verbal violence and hate speech on the internet, to
rape or murder. Statistics show that gender-based violence affects women
disproportionately.
Gender-based violence undermines the core values of human rights on which the
Council of Europe is based and to which its member states have subscribed. It
is a problem in all member states and affects millions of women and men, young
people and children, regardless of their social status, cultural or religious
background, sexual orientation or gender identity.
Preventing, addressing and combating gender-based violence are intrinsic to
human rights education, youth work and non-formal learning activities which
support young people on their path to autonomy as active citizens, mindful of
everyone’s human rights. The issues that are addressed through this work are
all relevant to young people’s lives, and they relate directly to the world in
which young people live.
Gender Matters is a manual to address gender-based violence with young people.
It provides insights into gender and gender-based violence, background
information to key social, political and legal issues and, especially,
educational activities and methods for education and training activities with
young people.
Gender Matters should be used as a practical resource in guiding young people
to become more aware of their own actions and the actions of others. It
contributes to a better understanding of how to stay safe and secure and how
to support those who have experienced violence in their lives. It will not
suffice to eradicate gender-based violence. However it is a necessary and
urgent step towards dignity for all.
