Violence hurts!
Anyone who experiences, resorts to or witnesses violence can help break the cycle.
The different forms of violence

It can also involve individual and collective violent behaviour, such as gender-based violence and forced marriage, abortion or sterilisation, as well as female genital mutilation and human trafficking."
