Sexual violence, as non-consensual, it's the result of sexual frustration and depravation as the consequence of the incapability, for whatever cause, of being able of overcoming that frustration. Consented sexual violence could just be BDSM. OP is not being specific about what he means about what "violence" is in this context.
In any case, as has been already stated: 'To solve a problem, you must start from the root'. However, most people will have their own idiosyncrasy in which distillate the factors that resulted on determined problem, instead of actually inquiring on those.
And, edit, "permeating" our societies? As I suspect a biased posture from the OP, I'll quote Camille Paglia, an actual feminist: The idea that feminism is the first group that has ever denounced rape is a gross libel to men. Throughout history, rape has been condemned by honorable men. Honorable men do not murder; honorable men do not steal; honorable men do not rape. It goes all the way back through history. Tarquin’s rape of Lucretia caused the fall of the tyrants and the beginning of the Roman Republic. The idea that somehow suddenly feminism miraculously found out that women were being exploited and raped throughout history is ridiculous.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
