What are the root causes of violence against women and how can they be addressed effectively?

The root causes of violence against women include gender inequality, societal norms that condone violence, and lack of access to resources and support. To address this issue effectively, it is important to promote gender equality, challenge harmful beliefs and attitudes, provide comprehensive support services for survivors, and hold perpetrators accountable through legal and social mechanisms. Education, awareness-raising, and community engagement are also key strategies in preventing and addressing violence against women.
