The Effects of Socialization on Gender Discrimination and Violence- A Case Study from Lebanon

Publication Type

The research paper provides a detailed and critical understanding of the social context behind gender-based violence, with eye-opening results and a call for action. Key findings include: women’s role as seen in terms of dedication and devotion to their families, a role which grants them trust; men’s role as provider, decision-maker and protector. Some men consider themselves victims of certain socialization patterns, while others enjoy the power their position provides and use violence to defend their vanishing role.
