Prevention Mens role and social support system

[Bigshow]

A community with strong support system like women’s groups, safe houses, counselling teams, and hotlines reduces the impact of GBV. Do you think your community offers enough support? If not, what is missing?

Hello, I believe there is still much to be done in my community regarding support against gender-based violence. Although some resources exist, such as support centers and telephone hotlines, I feel they are neither sufficient nor easily accessible to everyone who needs them. Often, women and other victims don't know where to turn or are afraid to report abuse due to a lack of trust in institutions. Furthermore, there needs to be more outreach and educational campaigns to prevent violence and promote respect. What I believe is most needed are safe spaces where victims can feel supported and heard without fear of retaliation or stigmatization. It would also be important to strengthen psychological support programs and offer training to the community on how to identify and respond to cases of violence. Ultimately, we need a concerted effort and more resources to make our environment truly protective and respectful for everyone.

I think it would be better if there is a support group for both genders rather than focus on only one.
