…remembering those who have experienced gender-based violence and those we have lost to it. It is also a time to take action.

Achieving freedom from gender-based violence requires everyone to educate themselves, their families, and communities on gender-based violence, to centre the voices of survivors in our actions and speak up against harmful behaviours.

Gender-based violence is any act of violence based on someone’s gender, gender expression, gender identity or perceived gender. Gender-based violence (GBV) can take many forms, like bullying, gaslighting, possessiveness, or hurtful online messages. It can happen anywhere—at school, in relationships, within families, on social media, or in public places. Learn how to spot the red flags and take action to stand up against GBV!
