Gender based violence is a violence directed against a person because of that person's gender or violence that affects persons of a particular gender inappropriately. GBV can be stopped but it all depends on victims whether they speak up. The only way to get out of it is that and victims of GBV need special treatment such as counseling sessions so that they can vent out there anger.

1. I am so glad that someone is talking about the topic. What I think can be done to stop GBV is that children from an early age should be taught that hitting people is not okay. Both boys and girls should know that hitting another person is not okay. Then the next generation will grow up knowing that.
2. I have never been a toxic relationship and I am grateful for that.
3. GBV affects everyone from the abused to the people around them. GBV affects every aspect of the people affected. From financial to emotional.

Gender based violence is no longer a South African thing it is a world wide thing because more and more people either women or man they are being abused and violated at the hand of the very people that claim to love them. The need to be more more better ways of dealing with GBV as it seems to be an overgrowing sickness.

Gander based violence is constantly growing in our continent more especially our country. I think not much intervention is being done , people witness these things and instead of intervening they take them straight to the internet, I’m pretty sure there were many incidents where people have witnessed these things and keep quite or start small and then brush them off and label them as “he hits me because I did something wrong “ beating of people is unacceptable.We should start by intervention at home

We call it gender-based because this type of violence is due to gender norms and stereotypes, enforced by unequal power dynamics in society.

Some other forms of this violence may include verbal abuse, bullying, sexual abuse, harassment and other types of violence.

In recent weeks we have seen an increase in violence targeted at women and girl children.  This province buried one of its own recently, Uyinene Mrwetyana.  She was raped and killed allegedly by a post office worker.  There are many other cases that have not been reported in the media.

Gender based violence include physical violence where by a man touches a woman’s private part without a her permission. It includes Sexuality, many gays and lesbians are killed out there because of the sexual.GBV include verbal abuse when you say rude words to someone without considering how will that person feel. Gender based violence must come to an end because we have lost many of our loved ones some people out there are hiding their sexuality because they will be judged. This is a free country we must not judge one other and we should respect others genders.

My first point is that the name GBV does not say women. Violence is largely perpetuated against women. To change this behavior now it is time to expose the perpetrator instead of the victim, the person who committed the crime should be the one trending on social media. No as far as I know I have not been in a toxic relationship. Any form of violence or abuse, results in a never ending trauma.

What is Gander based violence?
It is a violence that is directed to an individual based on his or her biological sex or gender identity.

This includes physical, sexual, verbal, emotional and psychological about. On most cases it is usually men that violate women's rights as they claim to be the heads of the houses.

This commonly happens when the other gender is drunk, and when they are sober they usually apologize and promise the other partner that they will change.

I personally think that men will never change, if this had ever happened to you maybe in a relationship please leave, Your life and your health matters.
In your understanding :
What should be done to stop this behaviour?
Have you ever been in a toxic relationship? What happened?
How does this affect someone's life?

When it comes to stopping Gender based violence I believe that everything has been done. It is just that nothing seems to work everyday a genders are being violated. It is so sad,people are not willing to change. I have been in a toxic relationship where I had to always be the one compromising my feeling in order to accommodate my partner. Toxic relationship affects someone's mentality because you end up thinking everyone is the same and you limit yourself when it comes to relationships.
