Gender-Based Violence and Legal Reforms: A Comprehensive Analysis

Abstract Abstract: Gender equality is a cornerstone of democratic governance and sustainable development. Yet, despite constitutional guarantees and international commitments, gender-based violence continues to undermine the dignity, safety, and autonomy of millions of individuals worldwide. The recognition of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) as a public law and human rights issue represents a significant transformation in legal and political discourse. What was once dismissed as a private matter—particularly domestic violence—has now become a central concern of international law, constitutional governance, and criminal justice systems. The international community has increasingly recognized GBV as not merely a social problem but a violation of fundamental human rights. Over the past few decades, legal reforms across jurisdictions have attempted to criminalize gendered violence, expand definitions of abuse, strengthen victim protection, and improve access to justice. However, the persistence of GBV indicates that reform only in legal aspects alone is not enough to resort this serious concern, because the reform will not yield results unless it is implemented properly. Along with this, it is hardly possible to start a fight against this kind of violence until we rise above the patriarchal thinking in the society and move towards social transformation.
