“Gender-based violence is violence that is directed at an individual based on their biological sex or gender identity or gender expression. It includes physical, sexual, verbal, emotional, and psychological abuse, threats, coercion, and economic or educational deprivation, whether occurring in public or private life. This includes harassment and abuse – including female genital mutilation, violations of intersex bodily integrity, and child marriage. Sexual violence and harassment and other sexual, physical, emotional, or psychological (including verbal)abuse, threats, or coercion, and even economic or educational deprivation based on an individual’s sex or gender identity or expression is deeply rooted in harmful gender norms and inequality and exists in epidemic proportions in the United States. This has an impact on mental and reproductive health and violates rights including, in some cases, the right to choose if, when, how, and with whom to engage in sexual activity. Specific communities face disproportionate rates of gender-based violence, including Native American women, who are much more likely to be raped or murdered by a partner than other women in the United States. Transgender people, specifically trans women of color, are also at grave risk and need to be protected through legislation. Through legislation such as the Violence Against Women Act, we are committed to ending gender-based violence, harassment, or abuse wherever it occurs, whether in our homes, streets, schools, communities, in the military, or anywhere else.”
