Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the following questions. <br><br> Global estimates published by the World Health Organization (WHO) indicate that about 1 in 3 (35%) women worldwide have experienced either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime. <br><br> Worldwide as many as 38% of murders of women are committed by a male intimate partner. What makes this worse for countries like India is the fact that intimate partner violence is the highest at 37.7% in the WHO South-East Asia region. <br><br> As per figures released by WHO, the violence ranges from 23.2% in high-income countries and 24.6% in the WHO Western Pacific region to 37% in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean region. <br><br> 'Violence against women - particularly intimate partner violence and sexual violence - is a major public health problem and a violation of women's human rights. WHO together with UN Women and other partners has developed a framework for prevention of violence against women called Respect which can be used by governments to counter this menace,' noted WHO. <br><br> Meanwhile, healthcare professionals cautioned that violence can negatively affect a woman's physical, mental, sexual, and reproductive health, and may increase the risk of acquiring HIV in some settings. <br><br> Explaining how gender-based violence is perpetrated, the global health organisation said that men are more likely to perpetrate violence if they have low education, a history of child maltreatment, exposure to domestic violence against their mothers, harmful use of alcohol, unequal gender norms, including attitudes accepting of violence, and a sense of entitlement over women. <br><br> Women are more likely to experience intimate partner violence if they have low education, exposure to mothers being abused by a partner, abuse during childhood, and attitudes accepting violence, male privilege and women's subordinate status. <br><br> Warning that intimate partner violence cause serious short-and long-term problems for women and adversely affect their children besides leading to high social and economic costs for women, their families and societies, WHO said: 'There is now evidence that advocacy and empowerment counselling interventions, as well as home visitation are promising in preventing or reducing intimate partner violence against women.''

Among the given options, only Option C is there that underlines the actual condition of India and the problems that women face in India whereas other options do not follow from the passage and can be ruled out from consideration.

It is clear from the above lines that the children of the couples where the women are tortured by their partners, the families of such women and the society, as a whole, suffer due to the attacks on women. Therefore all of these are adverse effects of the violence against women. This makes Option E the correct choice among the given options.

Which among the following can be considered as a reason why men indulge in violence against women, as described in the passage? <br> I. The men have such upbringing where they must have observed their family members doing so. <br> II. The men who do such things are not educated enough to understand the adverse effects of such actions. <br> III. The men who do such things may have been treated badly during their own childhood.
Explanation: Refer to, 'Explaining how gender-based violence is perpetrated, the global health organisation said that men are more likely to perpetrate violence if they have low education, a history of child maltreatment, exposure to domestic violence against their mothers, harmful use of alcohol, unequal gender norms, including attitudes accepting of violence, and a sense of entitlement over women.' It is clear from the above lines that men who may not have been properly educated or have seen the history of violence at their own homes may indulge in violence against women during their own internal lives. On the other hand, troubled childhood for men can also be a reason why they may indulge in violence against women. Therefore all the given reasons are correct in this context. This makes Option E the correct choice among the given options.

Which among the following is correct regarding the action taken by WHO to address the violence against women in various countries?

It is correct that the menace is more prevalent in the developing nations but it is there in the developed countries also.
