dc.description.abstractGendered socialization leads to gendered violence. Parents provide children with their first lessons about gender, and the home becomes a child’s first impression of power differences between the sexes. This raises the question of how much a child’s home life influences their gender-specific stereotypes and expectations. When looking at violence against women, gender socialization cannot be ignored. In the mind of a perpetrator is a deeply embedded attitude towards gender. This attitude begins developing in the home and is gradually influenced by other socializing entities like education, the media, and government.
