Fighting Gender-Based Violence: A Global Issue

Gender-based violence (GBV) is one of the most pervasive human rights violations worldwide. It encompasses physical, sexual, psychological, and economic harm disproportionately affecting women and girls.

Rooted in inequality and cultural norms, GBV is perpetuated by societal acceptance and weak enforcement of protective laws. Victims often face stigma, which deters them from reporting abuse and seeking justice.

To combat GBV, governments and organizations must enforce strict laws, provide support services for survivors, and raise awareness through education campaigns. Grassroots efforts are equally vital in challenging harmful norms and promoting gender equality.

Eradicating gender-based violence requires a unified global effort. By empowering survivors and addressing root causes, we can create safer, more equitable societies for all.
