About the Initiative

What is GBV?

“Gender-based Violence” describes the many forms of gender-based misconduct that occur in different contexts, including negative behaviors directed at an individual based on their gender, gender expression, or sex as well as behaviors that are sexual in nature.

It's Inclusive.

This definition is intentionally inclusive – women, LGBTQ+, and other marginalized groups disproportionately impacted by GBV, including males – all are included. The definition covers a wide range of misconduct: verbal and physical actions, sexual harassment, sexual assault, rape and other forms of abusive behavior.

Our Goals

The goals of the #StopGBV Initiative are to "Educate, Empower and Elevate" females, LGBTQ+ and all marginalized groups to unite in efforts to #StopGBV

Help #StopGBV

Did You Know? Gender-based Violence in the U.S. affects 1 out of 3 women in their lifetime.

Issues

Campus Safety

1 in 4 females experience sexual assault while in college. But 89% of colleges failed to disclose rape statistics.

Safe Space

Every 68 seconds an American is sexua1ly assaulted. And at some point their lives, 1 in 3 women have experienced stalking.

Gun Control

Loopholes in gun laws leave survivors of domestic abuse and stalking vulnerable to future gun violence by perpetrators.

Immigration

Immigration reforms are needed for protections for survivors to feel safe coming forward in any case involving GBV.
