Some types of violence, such as trafficking, cross national boundaries. Women who experience violence suffer a range of health problems andtheir ability to participate in public life is diminished. violence against Women harms families and communities across generations and reinforces other violence prevalent in society. violence against Women also impoverishesWomen, their families, communities and nations. violence against Women is not confined to a specific culture, region or country, or to particular groups of Women within a society. The roots of violence againstWomen lie in persistent discrimination against Women.
