Abstract

The victims of gender-based violence (GBV) are commonly women and girls, but it is undeniable that men and boys are also targeted. It is thus a travesty that males who experience GBV receive less attention than females and that such cases remain hidden. This paper focused on GBV that is directed at men and boys by females. A systematic literature review was conducted, and it was found that male victims of GBV are not given adequate support. The review also revealed that, while society is quick to condemn and publicly denounce male perpetrators of GBV, it does not accord the same attention to females who victimize and abuse men and boys. The authors of this paper recommended support for male victims of GBV as they experience anxiety and trauma to the same degree that females do. It is important that the GBV regulatory framework be reviewed to render it gender neutral.

基于性别的暴力侵害男子和男孩:一个隐藏的问题

性别暴力的受害者通常是妇女和女孩，但不可否认的是，男性和男孩也是受害者。因此，遭受性别暴力的男性受到的关注比女性少，而且此类案件仍然被隐藏，这是一种讽刺。本文关注的是女性针对男性和男孩的性别暴力。进行了系统的文献回顾，发现性别暴力的男性受害者没有得到足够的支持。该审查还显示，虽然社会迅速谴责和公开谴责性别暴力的男性肇事者，但对伤害和虐待男性和男孩的女性却没有给予同样的关注。这篇论文的作者建议支持男性GBV受害者，因为他们经历的焦虑和创伤程度与女性相同。重要的是对性别暴力监管框架进行审查，使其性别中立。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
