Gender-based Violence (GBV)

GBV is violence - sexual or otherwise - inflicted because of a person’s gender, aiming to bring that person down physically or psychologically. This theme addresses different aspects of this complex issue – such as domestic violence, rape, trafficking, female genital mutilation – and potential solutions such as engaging men in challenging violence against women.
