Gender Systems

I plan to check for neutrality in the page as well as add information to the gender violence section and possibly reduce the amount of examples of Non European gender binary systems because it seems to dominate the page.

Gender Violence

Important worldwide issue that can take many forms and have many different consequences

  • Women are 10 times more likely to be a victim of intimate partner violence
  • Gender violence in the military?
    • Approximately 1 in 3 female soldiers are victim of sexual assault while on duty
    • 70+sexual assaults involving military personal every day
  • According to National Center for Victims of Crime, 1 in 5 high school girls in the US are abused either physically, sexually, or both by their boyfriends
  • 50 to 80% of teens know of someone in a violent relationship
