GBV is not a private matter—it is a violation of human rights. Everyone deserves to live free from violence, abuse, harassment, and fear.
Let’s speak up, support survivors, challenge harmful norms, and build communities where everyone is safe and respected. 💜

Silence protects perpetrators. Speaking up can protect lives.
