Communication and violence against women and children as power relations

Abstract

In recent space-time, so much emphasis has been placed on issues which concern gender related violence and the relationships which exist between communication and violence against women and children. To wit, governmental and non-governmental organizations : local, national and international - have been concerned with how to enforce and eradicate chronic problems relating to gender inequality and other primitive patriarchal vestiges, which have been very detrimental to the realisation of the essence of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on the status of women, the rights of a child and other charters and conventions of the United Nations Organization like the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women and the United Nations Convention on the Child. The current essay is a critical analysis of the respective issues listed here from the perspective of Communication and Media studies

Keywords: Communication, Violence, Women and Children
