What is Gender-Based Violence?



Some facts about GBV: Gender-based violence is any act of violence based on someone’s gender, gender expression, gender identity or perceived gender. While we often think of it as “just physical”, GBV typically falls into these four categories:


Emotional violence, including:

  • threats, humiliation intimidation, and insults

  • controlling behaviour

  • stalking or cyber-stalking

  • deadnaming or denying someone’s gender identity

  • isolation from friends and family


Physical violence, including:

  • pushing, punching, kicking, or slapping

  • choking or strangulation

  • restraining or locking someone in

  • throwing, breaking or hitting objects




Financial violence, including:

  • stealing financial information, like PINs

  • pressure or blackmail to give money

  • controlling someone’s purchases

  • preventing someone from going to work or school




Sexual violence, including:

  • forced sexual touching or acts

  • forced sexual acts with other people

  • removing a condom without consent

  • being forced to get naked or send a nude image

St. George's Anglican Church acknowledges, that the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe. This territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and directly adjacent to Haldimand Treaty territory. We seek a new relationship with the Original Peoples of this land, one based in honour and deep respect.
