Manifestations of gender-based violence although many, and sometimes more pronounced in areas of armed conflict, go unnoticed due to multiple factors. Gender-based violence targeted towards women, affect their overall health negatively, particularly the reproductive well-being. Major conflicts arising in the Middle East over the past 10-15 years, ranging from the Arab uprising to the Syrian civil war, have drawn attention world-wide. This study aims to shed light on the importance of recognizing violence against women, its effect on their reproductive health, and the policies that should be implemented to limit its adverse impact. Towards this end, we have highlighted the important role played by all healthcare professionals, epidemiologists, and surveyors working in peace and war areas to recognize such atrocities towards women.
基于性别的暴力表现形式多种多样，在武装冲突地区有时更为明显，但由于多种因素而未被注意到。针对妇女的基于性别的暴力对她们的整体健康产生负面影响，尤其是生殖健康。过去10至15年中东地区发生的重大冲突，从阿拉伯起义到叙利亚内战，引起了全世界的关注。本研究旨在阐明认识到暴力侵害妇女行为的重要性、其对妇女生殖健康的影响以及为限制其不利影响而应实施的政策。为此，我们强调了所有在和平与战争地区工作的医疗保健专业人员、流行病学家和调查人员在认识到此类针对妇女的暴行方面所发挥的重要作用。
