GEOGRAPHICAL GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE. THE CASE OF ALBANIA

Abstract

Violence because of gender is a global issue preventing social progress, equality, and human rights. Understanding geographical trends of gender-based violence is critical for developing effective prevention and intervention techniques. With the use of this research technique, gender-based violence against women will be thoroughly studied with the goal of giving information for targeted policy responses. The technique investigates the spatial dimensions, regional differences, and localized dynamics of gender-based violence by taking a geographical perspective. In order to pinpoint high-risk regions and geographic clusters, it analyzes data from recorded cases, community surveys, and published research. The study also looks at how social settings, cultural norms, and geographic factors interact with gender norms to support violence against minority gender identities, women, and girls. The approach shows the particular difficulties experienced by disadvantaged groups within certain geographical locations by examining the intersectionality of gender-based violence with other types of social inequality, such as race, ethnicity, class, and sexuality. As a result of the empirical data produced by this study methodology, complete preventative frameworks that address the underlying causes of gender-based violence may be developed. Researchers want to contribute to the elimination of gender-based violence in all its manifestations by using this strategy. The technique stresses participant anonymity and confidentiality to ensure honest and objective replies, and it includes the collecting of empirical data using self-administeredsurveys.

Data analysis includes aggregating data, calculating percentages, detecting patterns and trends, and investigating the intersections of gender, race, and class in connection to gender-based violence experiences. Throughout the surveys, ethical issues are stressed in order to preserve participant privacy and well-being.
