2. INTRODUCTION
Gender-Based Violence is a global human rights violation rooted in power
imbalances and gender norms (Kaiser, 2024).
Myths and misconceptions silence survivors and normalize violence in
communities (Adhikari, 2014).
GBV is part of a cycle of violence shaped by poverty, substance abuse
and inequality (Michau, 2018).
It undermines human rights and impacts health, safety and dignity
(Humanitarian Response, 2016).
Addressing GBV requires understanding survivors, perpetrators and
accountability (GBV Survivors & Human Rights, 2023).

4. While GBV is a global issue, South Africa has one of the
highest prevalence rates in the world, requiring urgent
contextual solutions.

government, communities, and
individuals—to act.”
