ABSTRACT

Violence, dominance and gender power have been often theoretically intertwined for the intricate affinities they hold together. In this paper, we focus on the expression of gender power through violence and other forms of dominance being it verbal, physical or psychological. We mainly aim to provide a theoretical distinction between violence and dominance and how both were academically explored and presented throughout scholarly research in order to clear out any terminological confusion.

KEYWORDS:

Violence, Gender Power, Dominance, theoretical background.
