The Deep Wound: GBV as a Health Crisis
The impact of gender-based violence extends far beyond immediate physical harm. It is a major public health crisis that leaves lasting scars, including:
-
Physical Health: Chronic pain, gastrointestinal disorders, sexually transmitted infections, and poor reproductive health.
-
Mental Health: Depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and suicidal behavior.
During the 16 Days of Activism, we recognize that true healing requires trauma-informed care and specialized support services. Investing in accessible and effective interventions is vital to helping survivors manage the lifelong health challenges that violence imposes.
