Gender-Based
Violence
Preventing violence, supporting survivors and building a coordinated response with communities and frontline institutions.
Confronting Gender-Based Violence
Understanding what survivors face, and how AAPV builds a response with the communities and institutions closest to them.
A Violence That Too Often Goes Unreported
Gender-based violence remains one of the most widespread and least reported violations of human rights. In crisis-affected areas, survivors often face a double burden: the violence itself, and the absence of a response system able to receive them safely. Care pathways are fragmented, frontline actors are unevenly trained, and social stigma keeps many survivors from seeking help at all.

Our Approach
Prevention and Awareness
We work with communities to challenge harmful norms, raise awareness of survivors' rights and make clear where help can be reached.
Frontline Actor
Training
We train law enforcement officers, traditional leaders, judicial actors and health personnel so that every link in the response chain acts consistently.
Clinical Care Management
We support health facilities in delivering timely, confidential and quality medical care to survivors, including the pre-positioning of PEP kits across sites.
Psychosocial Support Services
We provide psychosocial care to survivors of gender-based violence, and to the healthcare staff who accompany them through recovery every day.
Women's Economic Empowerment
We build women's economic autonomy through vocational training, start-up equipment and stronger participation in the decisions that shape their communities.
Referral and Engagement
We manage referrals for complex cases and build lasting community ownership of the response, rather than delivering isolated one-off interventions.
