Gender-based violence (GBV) refers to harmful acts directed at an individual based on their gender. It is rooted in the abuse of power and includes acts that inflict physical and mental harm or suffering, threats of such acts, coercion or other acts of deprivation of liberty. Common forms of GBV towards the Rohingya refugee community include rape and commercial sexual exploitation.

Many GBV victims are trying to cope with severe anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The need for mental health services is unimaginable. Our team of doctors are there to provide individual and group Psychosocial Therapy to facilitate the healing process and provide hope. In addition, our Nutrition Services, Hygiene Training Sessions & Hygiene Kits, which include soap, toothbrushes, water containers, hygienic cloths, antiseptic liquid and other small personal items, help Rohingya refugees stay physically healthy and prevent dangerous outbreaks.
