The conference shed light on different forms of violence, such as verbal, physical, sexual, sexist, domestic, psychological violence, indecent assault, financial and sexual exploitation, among others. The causes of violence were also discussed, including low intellectual level, lack of education, unemployment, and the irresponsibility of parents and the Haitian State. The various forms of violence were explained, including moral, physical, psychological, passive, and active violence. The consequences of violence were also highlighted, such as low self-esteem, depression, trauma, suicide, and others.

Harassment, which is repeated verbal, psychological, moral, or physical violence, was also addressed.
