Gender-Based Violence
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Gender-based violence encompasses acts of physical, psychological, sexual, or economic harm carried out against a person because of their gender, and it includes situations that occur within a relationship, the family, or the social environment.
How it can affect you: Beyond physical injuries, it often leaves emotional marks such as anxiety, fear, isolation, or loss of self-esteem.
Why seek support: Talking about what one is going through and receiving professional support helps to process the experience and make decisions with greater confidence.
Who can help? A psychologist, a psychoanalyst, or a specialist in clinical psychology provide emotional support; in some cases a sex therapist takes part. If you are living or have lived through a situation like this, you are not alone: seeking professional support is an important step toward your well-being.
