AGEBAV is working to protect Women and Girls from GBV including sexual, physical, mental and economic harm inflicted in public or in private. Gender-based violence undermines the health, dignity, security and autonomy of its victims, yet it remains shrouded in a culture of silence. AGEBAV supports survivors of gender-based violence who are at risk with crucial protection services.
