In the past few decades gender-based violence (GBV) has been recognised as a worldwide problem, crossing cultural, geographic, religious, social and economic boundaries. In 2006, the United Nations Secretary General released an in-depth study on all forms of violence against women (VAW), which highlighted that: ‘VAW persists in every country in the world as a pervasive violation of human rights and a major impediment to achieving gender equality’ United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has a long history of supporting GBV programmes worldwide. The 2001 publication, A Practical Approach to Gender Based Violence: A Manual for Health Care Providers was a major step forward by UNFPA in piloting the prevention and assessment of GBV into its reproductive health (RH) services.
