14.01.2022 Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Despite human rights advancement, sexual and gender-based violence is still a lived re...alty for so many women daily. Often we think of violence as being physical. However, sexual and gender-based violence is any act that is perpetrated against a person’s will and is based on gender norms and unequal power relationships. An exercise of power, coercion and control is what drives violence. It can be physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, economical or technological in nature, and can take the form of a denial of resources or access to services. When we understand different forms of sexual and gender-based violence that can be perpetrated against women, we are much better equipped to both prevent and respond to this violence. #16Days #AllVoicesForSafety
