Real Talk: Speaking Up on Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV)

Source

“Sexual and Gender-Based Violence is not a female issue, it is a humanitarian issue. It affects us all.” Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV), often abbreviated to Gender-Based Violence (GBV), refers to harmful acts of sexual, physical, mental, and emotional abuse perpetrated based on gender. GBV, in a modern context, is the term attached to aggression against women and girls. In fact, a popular statistic details that 1 in 3 women have experienced GBV. However, the reality is that this number is far larger. In all corners of the globe, girls are born into neighbourhoods and societies that are unsafe, unjust, and discriminative. Be it catcalls, sexual advances, unequal salaries or other common injustices; these occurrences have become normalised in the lives of women and girls which have no right to be normal in the first place.

Gemini is Latin for “the twins,” as its constellation is seen dazzling in the night as two strings of stars tracing down from Castor and Pollux; the twins’ heads. Geminis’ curious nature enables them to explore innovative and creative ventures, making them visionaries in their own right. Geminis are experts at navigating change and transformation, never afraid to try new things or step outside their comfort zone.
