Preventing Gender-Based Violence

Preventing gender-based violence involves taking proactive steps to stop violence against individuals based on their gender. This includes educating communities about respect, consent, and equality, promoting healthy relationships, and challenging harmful stereotypes. Government and organizations can create supportive policies and provide resources for victims. Engaging men and boys as allies in this effort is also crucial. By fostering a culture that values consent and equity, society can reduce instances of violence and support those affected. The goal is to create safe environments where everyone, regardless of gender, can live free from violence and discrimination.
