Gender-based violence (GBV) is a global issue, deeply rooted in social norms and inequalities, often causing profound harm to individuals. It takes many forms, including sexism, sexual harassment, abuse, rape, and many others, causing untold damage. At Plett Sports Clinic, we recognize the lasting impact of such experiences and are committed to offering support to those affected, aiming to empower and assist them on their healing journey.

 

Understanding Gender-Based Violence:

 

GBV manifests in many ways and is often perpetuated by ingrained societal attitudes and prejudices. Victims, irrespective of their gender, can face a wide range of consequences, both physical and psychological. They may experience feelings of fear, shame, guilt, anxiety, and depression, which can severely impact their everyday life and wellbeing.
