Gender-Based Violence Support
We are committed to supporting survivors of gender-based violence through compassionate care, education, and advocacy.
What is Gender-Based Violence?
Gender-based violence (GBV) refers to harmful acts directed at an individual based on their gender. It is rooted in gender inequality, the abuse of power, and harmful norms.
GBV can include physical, sexual, verbal, emotional, and psychological abuse, threats, coercion, and economic or educational deprivation, whether occurring in public or private life.
It affects women, girls, men, and boys, although women and girls are disproportionately affected. GBV is a violation of human rights and a life-threatening health and protection issue.
