Women who have experienced gender-based violence can face negative physical, mental, and psychological health consequences.1 Gender-based violence is a form of discrimination against women and prevents them from participating fully and equally in society.

The story of what happened is not your burden to carry. ... It’s actually a gift, and others should receive it as a gift.

Chanel Miller
