The presence of violence against girls and young women is often determined by the attitudes of the communities and the belief systems of those who live within it: specifically men’s and young men's attitudes and beliefs about young women and about male privilege, a belief that boys deserves rights and privileges simply because they are male, and sexism. If violence against girls and young women is acceptable and seen as "the way it is" within the community it creates a place where abuse is able to flourish.
