This global movement that has gained significant momentum in recent years. Its roots can be traced back to the feminist movements of the 1960s and 1970s, which brought attention to the prevalence of violence against women and advocated for gender equality. Since then, the movement has evolved to address a wide range of issues, including domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and harmful traditional practices like Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). The goals of the anti-gender-based violence campaign are to raise awareness about the prevalence and impact of violence against women and girls, challenge societal norms that perpetuate gender-based violence, and advocate for policy changes that support survivors and hold perpetrators accountable
