Gender-based Violence (GBV) can be physical, emotional, psychological, or sexual in nature, and can take the form of a denial of resources or access to services. It inflicts harm on women, girls, men and boys. GBV is a violation of human rights.
In Egypt, our prevention activities encompass innovative multi-sectoral approaches including community-based activities, legal awareness sessions, women empowerment initiatives, and art therapy. In all response activities, quality case management is continuously provided for identified GBV survivors.
