GBV Banner

The 16 Days of Activism campaign calls on all of us to take a stand against violence towards women and children — to learn, listen, and act with compassion. Experiencing or witnessing violence can deeply affect a person’s Mental Health, often leaving lasting feelings of fear, Anxiety, or Depression. This toolkit brings together practical ways to find support, understanding, and hope. Inside, you’ll find Support Groups where survivors can connect, a video library of Ask the Experts sessions on GBV and Mental Health, insightful articles, and a directory of organisations offering specialised support and services.
