Second, by bringing together empirical data on gender-based violence from three different continents (Africa, Asia, and Europe), this panel will provide an opportunity for a critical exploration of the causes of gender-based violence as well as how manifestations of gender-based violence are sustained by culturally specific notions linked to masculinity/femininities, ageism, casteism, etc.听
