In defining VAWE, our starting point is to recognize that (a) GBV and VAW have an impact upon women in the political sphere, but measurements in this area have thus far neglected the political sphere;32 and (b) the field of political and election-related violence study and programming has largely been gender-blind in its understanding, analysis and collection of data, and that there are very specific forms of electoral-related violence which are gender- based. Overlaying a gender perspective on the standard electoral-related violence definitions, and considering the specific forms, nature and consequences of VAW compared to violence experienced by men, provide a solid basis for identifying and defining VAWE.
