Sexual and Gender-Based Violence
Trabajamos junto a las comunidades para desmantelar normas nocivas, proteger a las sobrevivientes y construir un futuro libre de violencia sexual y de género.
Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) won’t end until we confront the toxic gender norms that sustain it.
That’s why our approach to prevention and survivor care starts here:
- Preventing violence starts in childhood.
The attitudes, stereotypes, and norms kids learn early shape their relationships for decades, so prevention must start there. - Sex education prevents gender-based violence
Rights-based sex ed equips young people to reject toxic gender norms, build more equitable relationships, and prevent intimate partner violence. - Men and boys must be part of the solution
We work with them to embrace positive masculinity, challenge toxic norms, and stop violence in their communities. Fathers learn to build safe, loving bonds that help break the cycle for the next generation. - Justice starts with healing
Justice means more than safety. Survivors need emergency contraception, STI testing, safe abortion, legal help, and counseling. Your support ensures they find that care—in clinics, shelters, and online. - SGBV risks are highest for marginalized women and girls
Violence impacts one in three women worldwide. For women and girls from historically excluded communities, and those uprooted by war or disaster, the danger is multiplied when essential care is denied.

A Helping Hand
I began to feel that a helping hand was going to protect me, that someone could listen to me and find out what was going on. I began to tell her about the violence I had endured for 12 years.Survivor of violence describing how she felt when she first got support from Profamilia
