Addressing the long-term health effects of gender-based violence starts with understanding the barriers survivors face. That’s how you break the cycle 🧡

From chronic pain to anxiety and depression, survivors face a range of health impacts that are often overlooked. A recent study revealed three significant barriers survivors encounter when accessing support:
1️⃣ Cultural stigma
2️⃣ Lack of resources
3️⃣ Insufficient training for healthcare providers

On this International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we envision a future where extensively funded research helps shape healthcare policies that prioritize survivors, break down these barriers, and provide the compassionate care women and girls deserve.
