Relationship between Non-Normatively Gendered People and Violence
The World Health Organization (WHO) describes violence as the actual or threatened application of physical force against oneself, another individual, or a group or society that leads to and has a significant potential to cause damage, death, emotional harm, or deprivation. Sexual assault or violence is a type of sexuality-based violence that includes any violent sexual encounter. It may also involve attempts to procure a sexual act, inappropriate sexual remarks or actions, trafficking, and other acts of coercion directed towards a person's sexual orientation by anyone, irrespective of their connection to the complainant, in any environment (United Nations human rights office of the high commissioner, 1).
Gender equity affects nearly every part of social contact and government policy, from community development to work. Sexual equality and sexual-based violence affect every person in a direct and personal way.

It is frequently propagated by silence and a culture of willful ignorance (Skinner et al., 1).
Sexuality and abuse have a relationship that extends beyond the interpersonal acts of sexual offenders. As a result, studies of sexuality and abuse must consider the social and systemic relationships between perpetrators and the broader society. Love, hate, violence, peace, harmony, and cooperation can all be considered separate phenomena, but their interrelationships' unity or totality should be considered. In heterosexual relationships, there is a common saying that men and women use to characterize the opposite gender: "You can't live with them, and you can't live without them." This saying looks at "sexual antagonism," also known as "sexual ambivalence," "sexual aggression," or "sexual animosity," and how it addresses the issue consciously or subconsciously. Conflicts over sexuality and abuse, in particular, raised concerns about commonalities and contrast regarding beating, incest, abuse, and other sexual and non-sexual attacks, as well as control and confrontation, domination and submission, females and mal...
