Breaking the Cycle: Health Systems and Gender-Based Violence

We will examine the health system’s dual role in responding and being shaped by GBV, including its impact on health workers, while critically reflecting on how health systems reinforce social and gender norms that perpetuate violence. A key focus will be the intersection of multiple systems of oppression and their influence on the lived realities of wom*n. This thought-provoking session will challenge assumptions and foster a constructive dialogue on pathways to creating a more equitable and responsive health system.
