Gender-Based Violence and HIV/AIDS among Women Workshop 21st – 22nd July 2011 Holiday Inn Hotel, Rosebank, Johannesburg

broadly defined as any harm to a person resulting from the power disparities caused by
gender inequality.
According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report, among women aged 15-44 years, gender violence accounts for more death and
disability than cancer, malaria, traffic injuries, and war put together. And in Africa, it is estimated that 1 in every 3 women will be raped in their
lifetime. GBV poses a serious threat to both personal and public health. Those survivors who live through the experience may face unwanted
pregnancies, STI infections (including HIV/AIDS), chronic pain, and/or disability.GBV also contributes to infertility and other reproductive health
problems, and often leads to unsafe self-induced abortion. The psychological trauma of GBV leaves lasting scars as well; survivors may struggle
with depression and are at higher risk for suicide, GBV also robs the community of productive women and girls, who would otherwise be
working and contributing to the well-being of other community members.
