Advocacy

Gender-based violence (GBV),or violence against women and girls (VAWG) , is a global pandemic that affects 1 in 3 women in their lifetime.

About 1 in 4 women and nearly 1 in 10 men have experienced contact sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner during their lifetime and reported some form of IPV-related impact.
