16 Days of Activism: No Haven at Home

One in three women worldwide experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime. More than half of women who are intentionally killed, are murdered by intimate partners or family members. In every country of the world, only a small minority of rapes get reported to the police. While gender-based violence (GBV) is often perpetrated behind closed doors, it is not a private matter. On 10 December, LIDC is hosting an event to discuss gender-based violence and what can be done to stop the most common human rights violation of today.

On 10 December 2020 – Human Rights Day – Professor Professor Gene Feder and Dr Poonam Rishal spoke about HERA – Healthcare Responding to Violence and Abuse and the prevalence of gender based violence and interventions to prevent and respond to GBV in Nepal.
