Gender-based violence is “violence involving men and women, in which the female is usually the victim due unequal power relationships between men and women. At least one out of six women worldwide and a majority of women in some places are victims of gender based violence. Usually the violence is not reported, nor is it detected by those in a position to respond.
Health professionals are often the earliest point of contact for survivors of violence, and are in a key position to break the silence and offer critical care. These services are often provided in emergency, under-resourced and stressful conditions. This webinar will discuss these conditions, frontline experiences, and how we can better support this essential service to victims of GBV.
