Gendered Violence

Gendered violence refers to harmful acts directed at individuals based on their gender, often rooted in power imbalances and societal norms. It encompasses a range of behaviors, including domestic abuse, sexual assault, and harassment, primarily affecting women and girls, but also impacting men and LGBTQ+ individuals. This type of violence is often systemic, reflecting broader cultural attitudes that devalue certain genders. Addressing gendered violence involves raising awareness, promoting equality, and implementing protective measures to support victims and hold perpetrators accountable. Its prevention requires societal change to challenge harmful stereotypes and norms.
