The nature and degree of specific types of gender-based violence vary from one culture to another, from country to country and from one region to another. Gender Indicates the social relationship and role, and the values that a society determines for each gender (man and woman). These roles, relationships and values differ depending of the time and place, given how they overlap with the other social relations like religion, the social strata, ethnicity, and so on. Gender Roles Are a series of social expectations and behaviors, on how the individuals of a certain culture should behave in line with their biological identity, and the difference in the roles and responsibilities assigned to men and women, among other stereotyping in different cultural settings. Sex Whether an individual is male or female. Whether the individual has a penis or a vagina. In English the word sex is also used to refer the act of intercourse. Raising Awareness about GBV Activities that are conducted in a society that is being impacted, in order to raise the awareness about GBV. Domestic Violence Any action, or the avoidance of an action, by one family member against another, that causes physical, or mental harm. 1 National Council for Family Affairs (NCFA).

Emotional Abuse (also referred to as Psychological Abuse) Causing emotional or metal harm or injury. Examples of this are: threatening with physical or sexual violence, intimidation, degradation, forced isolation, social exclusion, stalking, verbal harassment, unwanted attention, making sexual connotation, or written sexual threats, breaking objects that are valuable to the victim…. Etc. Sexual Abuse The term "sexual abuse" means any assault or threat of assault of a sexual nature, whether this coerced, or is under coercive or unequal conditions. Sexual Violence This is the violence resulting from sexual activities or behaviors, and includes harassment, sexual connotation, seduction, and forced sexual acts, and also includes the sexual abuse of a child, like forcing or coercing a child to participate in sexual activities, whether the child is aware of these or not, or encouraging the child to watch pornographic content, or participate in the production, marketing or distribution of pornography, or encouraging the child to act in an inappropriate sexual manner. 2 Sexual Assault It is any form of forced sexual intercourse that does not result or does not involve penetration. Examples include attempted rape, kissing the unwilling victim, unwanted stroking, and touching of the private parts and backside of the victim. Sexual Exploitation The term “sexual exploitation” mean real or attempted exploitation of vulnerability, or difference in strength, or confidence, for sexual purposes, including but not limited to, achieving financial, social or political benefits, by sexually exploiting others. 2 Sexual violence includes rape, defined as physically forced or otherwise coerced penetration – even if slight – of the vulva or anus, using a penis, other body parts or an object. The attempt to do so is known as attempted rape. Rape of a person by two or more perpetrators is known as gang rape. Sexual violence can include other forms of assault involving a sexual organ, including coerced contact between the mouth and penis, vulva or anus. National Council for Family Affairs (NCFA).

Empowerment of Women The idea of empowering women revolves around allowing women to have authority, and controlling their private lives. This does not include enhancing the ability of the men to protect the women. Forced Marriage A forced marriage involves marring off an individual against their wishes or will. Child Marriage (Also referred to as Early Marriage) Child marriages, are the marriages of individuals below the age of 18 years. The Perpetrator Is an individual, or a group of individuals, or an entity that directly or indirectly causes violence, or supports it, or any other violation against another person. The Survivor A survivor is someone who has experienced gender-based violence, but has not succumbed to violence. The survivor, at the time when they are subjected to gender-based violence is considered a victim. These people have survived and became survivors. Some people prefer to use the term "survivor" rather than "victim," because this term recognizes the identity of the person who has experienced violence. Physical Abuse /Violence This is the physical abuse/violence that is not sexual in nature. This includes hitting, slapping, chocking, cutting, pushing, firing at, using a weapon against, and/or throwing acid at a person, and any other behavior that causes pain, injury or distress. 5 Introduction This guide was developed by the Jordan River Foundation in partnership with Jordan Humanitarian Fund of the United Nations (JHF - OCHA) with the generous support of Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Sweden and Italy, and in close coordination with the SGBV SWG (Sexual and Gender Based Violence Sub-Working Group) to act as a guiding tool for institutions and organizations. The various programs aiming at planning and implementing projects aimed at promoting prevention and elimination of all types of gender-based violence in Jordan, and providing a knowledge base based on best practices that have been implemented in this regard, in addition to lessons learned from practices that did not meet the expected success with a view to avoid or reprogram it according to the target context.
