Statement on Gender-based Violence

Background of the problem:
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that, globally, 35% of women have experienced physical or sexual violence at some point in their lives. In Tanzania, Gender-based Violence (GBV) is a serious public health, human rights and development issue and at least 20% of women are reported to have experienced sexual violence in their lifetime. Furthermore, children under the age of eighteen, 28% of girls, and 13% of boys, are reported to have experienced sexual violence. Despite increasing acknowledgment that sexual violence is a violation of human rights and a major threat to public health, the evidence shows that violence against women is a pervasive problem in almost every society.
