Gender inequality makes it inevitable for Violence Against Women to occur, in Mercy’s community, girls are not allowed to pursue their skill sets/hobbies merely because they are girls and therefore thought of as mere caregivers, this limits their options, even if there was a possibility of them finishing school. Inequality also gives the men/boys more priority to finish school and therefore puts them in a place where they can earn a better living leaving women in a place of poverty which is an enabling factor for different types of violence, from physical, economic to emotional and sexual.
In Mercy’s Community, Violence has been normalised, it is thought as the norm for all women to go through violence, which doesn’t have to be the case if the community reflected on why it happens. Violence could be stopped and lesser women would have to suffer in the community.
