Sexual and gender based violence

Sexual and gender-based violence is a deeply concerning issue that affects individuals across societies, irrespective of their age, gender, or background. It encompasses various forms of violence, including sexual assault, rape, domestic violence, harassment, and harmful traditional practices. It is a grave violation of human rights and poses significant physical, emotional, and psychological consequences for survivors. Addressing this issue requires comprehensive efforts, including awareness-raising, education, legal reforms, and support services for survivors. By promoting a culture of respect, equality, and consent, and by holding perpetrators accountable, we can strive towards a society that is free from sexual and gender-based violence, where every individual can live with dignity, safety, and empowerment.
