Discrimination and VSS: what are we talking about?

Sexist and sexual discrimination and violence (SGBV) can take many forms. To help you better understand them, here are a few definitions.

Sexist insults or contempt (any sexual or sexist comment or behavior that violates a person's dignity by being degrading or humiliating). It can also be a joke, or a sexual, degrading or humiliating behavior or gesture.

Repeated verbal aggression, emotional blackmail, manipulation, isolation, domination and control, etc.

Deliberate use or threat of deliberate use of physical force. They occur in a variety of places and can take different forms (physical acts, sexual assaults, abuse).

It may be a case of aggression (tany sexual assault committed with violence, constraint, threat or surprise), harassment (when comments or behavior with sexual connotations are repeatedly imposed) or rape (any act of sexual penetration committed on the person of another or on the person of the perpetrator, of any nature whatsoever, committed with violence, constraint, threat or surprise).

Ehey concern all forms of violence that exist on the Internet (online insults, controlling one's partner by monitoring him or her online, sending unannounced photos of one's sex, publishing intimate content without the consent of one's partner and/or ex).
