Anyone can be a victim of domestic violence, regardless of age, gender or sexual orientation. Domestic abuse manifests as a pattern of abusive behaviour toward an intimate partner in a dating or family relationship, where the abuser exerts power & control over the victim.

No woman or girl should fear for her life simply because of her gender. By addressing the root causes of violence including through eliminating structural gender inequalities and transforming harmful masculinities, we can keep women and girls safer. #PreventGBV #EndVAW
