Comment:
Gender-based violence is often influenced by stereotypes and prejudice held by men. The general belief that women are “less than” or are inherently unequal, opens the gateway for men to view women with violent attitudes. Both studies referenced above discuss how stereotypes and sexist beliefs are predictors of violent attitudes.

This article explores the impact gender stereotypes on intimate partner violence and sexual violence. “An overarching theme of these papers is how gender stereotypes may influence incorrect beliefs in how we view and approach interventions to these two types of violence.” the description says for the article. With this, I do think sexism and stereotypes are one of the main causes of gender-based violence because they alter societies view on relationships.
