In: Al-Raida Journal, S. 47-54

Abstract

Gender-based violence (GBV) is defined as violence that is directed against a person on the basis of gender or sex (UNFPA). It includes acts that inflict physical, mental, or sexual harm or suffering, threats of such acts, coercion, and deprivation of liberty. While women, men, boys, and girls can be victims/survivors of gender-based violence, women and girls are the main victims/survivors.
