Abstract

This paper aims to inspect gender violence, sexual harassment, violence against women, and gender-based violence using bibliometric analysis from 1971 to 2020. Gender violence and sexual harassment are widespread, affecting millions of individuals globally. Women and girls are disproportionately impacted, although men and boys, as well as non-binary individuals, are also victims. This study has been based purely on a systematic review of literature or bibliometric analysis on the keywords including gender violence, sexual harassment, violence against women, and gender-based violence. The data was extracted on August 14, 2021, from the Web of Science database. The software Biblioshiny, VOSviewer, ScientoPy, and MS Excel have been used to analyze the published documents. A total number of 7812 published documents have been retrieved and a final of 6603 research documents have been examined after the screening process. The study findings reveal that major types of published documents are reported as articles and a major proportion has been published after 2010. The top institution with the country name of the published document has been named as Dept-Psychol., The United States is the top country as the United States. The study findings also assert that the top publication source is Violence Against Women and the top author's name is Fitzgerald LF. However, the top research area has been found as psychology and the top co-occurrences of keywords as sexual harassment.
