Damian's Art Gallery I Gender Based Violence

Gender-based violence remains a deep-rooted problem South Africa. Often, when we see the news, there is a report of a female who has gone missing or has died as a result of women's abuse.

Some artists use paintings to pass on a message or communicate with world as a whole. The GBV is identified in many forms, victims of gender based violence can experience trauma in sexual, verbal, emotional or financial abuse by their perpetrators. This type of abuse usually occurs by someone known by the women who is a family member or a boyfriend or spouse. 

GBV is a term used to describe violence directed at an individual based on their gender. This violence includes verbal, emotional, sexual, physical and psychological abuse. Although both men and women experience GBV, the statistics in South Africa show that most of the victims are women and girls.

 

At Damian's Art Gallery we are encouraging you to support this movement to raise awareness that we are totally against this inhuman.
