Gender-based violence 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. Gender-based violence can occur in various settings such as the home, workplace, community, or online, and can have serious and long-lasting impacts on the physical and mental health of survivors. It is a pervasive issue that affects individuals of all genders, but is most commonly experienced by women and girls. Addressing and preventing gender-based violence requires a comprehensive approach that includes education, advocacy, legal reforms, and support services for survivors.
