Purple Ribbon Campaign - 16 Days Against Gender Based Violence - Day 3

Violence isn’t always physical — it can take many forms that are just as harmful. Recognizing these different types of violence is the first step in preventing them and supporting those affected.
The attached poster breaks down nine forms of violence and abuse, including:
💠 Sexual
💠 Verbal
💠 Emotional
💠 Psychological
💠 Spiritual
💠 Cultural
💠 Financial
💠 Neglect
💠 Physical
No one deserves to experience any form of abuse. If you or someone you know is affected, please reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or local support service. 💛
Let’s work together to create safer, more compassionate communities.
