Final answer:

Explanation of human rights violated, legal structures in South Africa, effectiveness assessment of laws, and factors contributing to GBV.


Explanation:

Human rights violated through gender-based violence (GBV):

  1. Right to life: This is violated in cases of femicide or intimate partner violence resulting in death.
  2. Right to bodily integrity: This includes physical and sexual abuse and harmful practices like FGM.
  3. Right to non-discrimination: GBV often stems from deeply rooted gender inequalities.

Legal structures in South Africa combating GBV:

  1. The Domestic Violence Act: Provides protection orders for victims of domestic violence.
  2. The Sexual Offences Act: Criminalizes various forms of sexual violence.
  3. The Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act: Broadens offenses related to sexual violence.

Success of these laws in deterring GBV: While laws are important, challenges like implementation and societal norms impact their effectiveness.

Factors contributing to GBV:

  1. Patriarchal norms: Perpetuate unequal power dynamics.
  2. Lack of access to justice: Hinders victims from seeking help.
  3. Socioeconomic factors: Poverty and inequality can increase vulnerability to GBV.
