It is rooted in gender inequality, the abuse of power and harmful norms. The term is primarily used to underscore the fact that structural, gender-based power differentials place women and girls at risk for multiple forms of violence” (UN Women). GBV can take many forms, including domestic/intimate partner violence, sexual harassment and assault, child marriage, stalking, and human trafficking. Get involved!
