Abstract

Gender based violence (GBV) is a global public health problem that poses challenges in human health, with a higher prevalence in developing countries. GBV is an abuse of human rights that occurs internationally, in both developing and developed countries, regardless of culture, socio-economic class or religion. GBV is caused by systemic gender inequalities and encompasses all acts of physical, emotional, sexual and psychological violence perpetuated against a person due to their gender.
