GBV hinders women’s and girls’ full enjoyment of reproductive health rights. Victims of sexual violence may need emergency contraceptive pills for any unintended pregnancies; treatment for STIs including HIV; medical attention for other injuries.. #16DaysOfAccountability

Discriminatory legislation has posed barriers to ending violence against women and girls. Laws such as the Penal Code (Amendment) 2007, Domestic Violence Act and the Marriage Bill do not address key aspects of violence.
