To achieve the above goals for the sustainable growth of societies, it is crucial to study gender-based violence (GBV) in a smart city context, which is a common component of violence across socio-economic groups globally. This paper analyzes the nature of news articles reported in English newspapers of Pakistan, India, and the UK\u2014accumulating 12,693 gender-based violence-related news articles. For the qualitative textual analysis, we employ Latent Dirichlet allocation for topic modeling and propose a Doc2Vec based word-embeddings model\u00a0to classify gender-based violence-related content, called GBV2Vec. Further, by leveraging GBV2Vec, we also build an online tool that analyzes the sensitivity of Gender-based violence-related content from the textual data. We run a case study on GBV concerning COVID-19 by feeding the data collected through Google News API. Finally, we show different news reporting trends and the nature of the gender-based violence committed during the testing times of COVID-19. The approach and the toolkit that this paper proposes will be of great value to decision-makers and human rights activists, given the prompt and coordinated performance against gender-based violence in smart city context\u2014and can contribute to the achievement of SDGs for sustainable growth of human societies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s12652-021-03401-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,8]],"date-time":"2022-04-08T06:10:56Z","timestamp":1649398256000},"page":"14631-14642","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Social mining for sustainable cities: thematic study of gender-based violence coverage in news articles and domestic violence in relation to COVID-19"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Muhammad Asad","family":"Manzoor","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6509-9190","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Saeed-Ul","family":"Hassan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amina","family":"Muazzam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suppawong","family":"Tuarob","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raheel","family":"Nawaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,8]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"3401_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"165","DOI":"10.1080\/17938120.2019.1668162","volume":"11","author":"LM Abdel Latif","year":"2019","unstructured":"Abdel Latif LM, Ramadan M, Elbakry SA (2019) How gender biased are female-headed household transfers in egypt?
