Violence against women and girls is one of the most prevalent human rights violations in the world an estimated one in three women will experience physical or sexual abuse in her lifetime. Gender-based violence undermines the health, dignity, security and autonomy of its victims, yet it remains masked in a culture of silence. Victim of violence can suffer sexual and reproductive health consequences, including forced and unwanted pregnancies, unsafe abortions, traumatic fistula, and sexually transmitted infections including HIV, and even death as well as psychological problem. This is not devastating for survivors of GBV and their families, but also entails significant social and economic cost to the country. Children who are growing up with violence are more likely to suffer or become survivor themselves or perpetrators of violence in the future
