What gender-based violence is
Gender-based violence refers to harmful acts directed at an individual based on their gender. It can take many forms, including physical assault, sexual assault, murder, femicide, family violence, intimate partner violence, human trafficking, stalking, financial control, threats, hate speech, cyber-bullying, cyber-stalking, pornography and coercive control.
Abuse affects individuals, families and communities across Alberta. Everyone has a role to play in preventing harm and supporting those impacted. Alberta is taking coordinated action through its 10-year strategy to prevent gender-based violence and support those affected.
