GBV stands for Gender-Based Violence, which refers to any harmful act that is perpetrated against an individual based on their gender. This type of violence is often rooted in power imbalances between men and women, and can take many forms including physical, sexual, emotional, and psychological abuse. GBV is a widespread issue that affects individuals of all genders, but is most commonly experienced by women and girls. It is a violation of human rights and can have serious and long-lasting impacts on the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of survivors. Efforts to address and prevent GBV include raising awareness, providing support services for survivors, and advocating for policies and laws that promote gender equality and protect individuals from violence.
