Gender-Based Violence (GBV) refers to harmful acts directed at individuals based on their gender. It can occur in various forms, including physical, sexual, emotional, and economic abuse. GBV affects people of all genders, but women and girls are disproportionately impacted. This violence often stems from unequal power dynamics and societal norms that perpetuate discrimination. GBV can take place in different settings, such as homes, workplaces, and public spaces. It is a violation of human rights and can have severe physical and psychological consequences for victims. Efforts to combat GBV involve education, legal reforms, and support services to help survivors recover and seek justice.
