Understanding gender-based violence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gender-based violence is defined as any act of violence or abuse directed towards a person because of their gender. It often occurs in relationships where there is an imbalance of power, and can include coercive, manipulative and controlling behaviours on the part of the perpetrator.
