Power-based violence— the kind of harm that is inflicted upon individuals or groups due to power imbalances— targets marginalized communities and violates their rights to human dignity. Addressing power-based violence requires challenging power structures, promoting equality, and fostering inclusive and respectful environments for all. Victim advocacy refers to the support provided to individuals who have experienced some form of power-based violence: domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, human trafficking, and coercive control.
