One of the things I'd like to talk about is the stigma around gender-based violence, particularly intimate partner violence. I come from a very small community, and people don't talk. I think a healthy way to kick-start a discussion so that we can become advocates is to get information.
You touched on the economic costs of gender-based violence. Is there a way we can find objective information that could be be a conversation starter in communities like mine?
