Power and Control is at the heart of Gender Based Violence (GBV) and closely related to women empowerment. Patriarchal system and lack of education and awareness are some of the main causes of Afghan women in the UK to suffer from Gender Based Violence. While to a fair extend help is provided for the victims of GBV in the UK, Often Afghan women fail to seek help. Partly this could be summarized to lack of knowledge of the functioning system. However, most importantly the victims of GBV are imprisoned by the strong transnational patriarchal and cultural dominance of their home country’s norms and traditions.
