Quiz: Understanding Violence Against Women and Global Prevention Efforts
Violence against women remains one of the most widespread human rights violations worldwide. The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on 25 November and the UN campaign "Orange the World" highlight the global scale of the issue and the need for prevention, protection, and awareness. This quiz explores the background of gender-based violence, international initiatives, and the forms of violence that affect women in everyday life. It addresses psychological, physical, sexual, and economic dimensions, the role of social myths, and the significance of consent. Statistical developments, including the situation in Austria and other European countries, illustrate that violence often occurs in close relationships rather than public spaces. The questions invite reflection on definitions, contexts, and facts that shape public understanding and policy measures.
