Abstract
Background :
Women are a historically marginalised group in society. Their sex (and gender) has been used as grounds for their sexual objectification which in turn exposes them to harmful acts. Accordingly, at both international and domestic levels, an array of legal protections underpins the efforts to eradicate gender-based violence (GBV) and, more specifically violence against women (VAW). Sexual objectification is an all-encompassing process whereby men construct [women’s] sexuality solely for their intended benefit and pleasure. These practices are often supported and promoted by women who have been socially conditioned to conform to the status quo.
