Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is one of the most widespread, persistent and devastating human rights violations in the world today and remains largely unreported due to the impunity, silence, stigma and shame surrounding it even in this era with huge social communication. The incidences of domestic violence, emotional violence, economical violence, sexual assault, rape, molestation, harassment at work place, exploitation, acid attack are increasing in our country and across the world. Violence against women commences before birth and continues throughout life in various forms. These range from infanticide, genital mutilation, child marriage, sexual abuse, domestic violence, sex selected abortions, domestic violence, cyber violence, dowry death, honour killing, acid attack, trafficking, physical abuse in situations of conflict and the neglect of the girl child, adolescent and ageing women. Data of violence against women available mainly from male and female partners of the community. But our study is conducted amongst gynaecologists regarding the data on violence against women they over all come across in their practice. Another problem addressed in the article was about age of marriage and early pregnancy through a survey conducted on similar grounds amongst practicing gynaecologists. Under-age marriage is a marker of multiple vulnerabilities. Early marriage is a worldwide problem associated with a range of health and social consequences including violence for teenage girls and women.
暴力侵害妇女和女童行为是当今世界最普遍、最持久且最具破坏性的侵犯人权行为之一，即便在这个拥有海量社会交流的时代，由于有罪不罚、沉默、耻辱和羞愧等因素，此类行为仍大多未被报道。在我国乃至全世界，家庭暴力、情感暴力、经济暴力、性侵犯、强奸、猥亵、职场骚扰、剥削、泼酸袭击等事件都在不断增加。暴力侵害妇女行为在出生前就已开始，并以各种形式贯穿一生。这些形式包括杀婴、女性生殖器切割、童婚、性虐待、家庭暴力、性别选择性堕胎、家庭暴力、网络暴力、嫁妆致死、荣誉谋杀、泼酸袭击、人口贩卖、冲突局势中的身体虐待以及对女童、青少年和老年妇女的忽视。关于暴力侵害妇女行为的数据主要来自社区中的男性和女性伴侣。但我们的研究是在妇科医生中进行的，围绕他们在行医过程中总体遇到的暴力侵害妇女行为的数据展开。文章中探讨的另一个问题是通过对执业妇科医生进行类似调查，了解结婚年龄和早孕情况。早婚是多种脆弱性的一个标志。早婚是一个全球性问题，会带来一系列健康和社会后果，包括对少女和妇女的暴力行为。
