Gender Based Violence

Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is a serious human rights violation that affects individuals regardless of age, background, or social status, with women and girls being disproportionately impacted. It includes physical, sexual, emotional, psychological, and economic abuse, as well as harmful practices such as child marriage and female genital mutilation. GBV can occur in homes, schools, workplaces, online, and within communities, often leaving lasting physical and emotional consequences.

At Mojatu Foundation, we are committed to preventing and responding to gender-based violence through community education, advocacy, survivor-centred support, and partnerships with local stakeholders. We work to raise awareness, challenge harmful social norms, empower women and girls, engage men and boys as allies, and promote access to protection and support services. By fostering safe, informed, and inclusive communities, we aim to create a future where everyone can live free from violence, discrimination, and fear.
