Rationale for Research

Understanding the factors contributing to Gender-Based Violence (GBV) on college campuses is crucial for developing effective interventions to foster safer educational environments. The prevalence of GBV among students presents significant psychological, physical, and academic consequences, thus warranting thorough examination. This research aims to explore the interplay of individual, relational, and institutional factors that exacerbate GBV, emphasizing the urgency of addressing this public health and human rights issue within higher education contexts. To gather pertinent literature, a systematic review of academic databases such as JSTOR, PubMed, and Google Scholar was conducted using targeted keywords like "Gender-Based Violence," "campus safety," "sexual assault," and "student relationships." Sources included peer-reviewed journal articles, governmental reports, and organizational publications, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the complexities surrounding GBV. By synthesizing existing findings, this research will illuminate the necessity for targeted policy-making and support services tailored to reduce GBV and its impacts on campus populations (Coker et al., 2011; Karjane et al., 2005; Tjaden & Thoennes, 2000).
