Gender-Based Violence
Our community is bravely sharing their personal experiences and ideas for action to combat gender-based violence. They are speaking out on gender-based violence topics from cultural attitudes on domestic violence to survivor empowerment and more.
What is Gender-Based Violence?
Gender-based violence is an umbrella term that refers to harmful acts directed at a person based on their gender, according to the UNHCR.
Types of gender-based violence can include sexual, physical, psychological, and economic harm inflicted in public or private. Other gender-based violence examples include threats of violence, coercion, and manipulation.
The Impact of Gender-Based Violence Against Women & Girls
Women are only a part of those who are affected by gender-based violence. It affects the victims and their families but also has an impact on education and economic factors as well. Violence also affects all ages and is critical in the development of children. It is important to stop the outcome of gendered violence in order to prevent children from growing up and repeating the cycle.
