Gender Based Violence shall be conceptualized as an umbrella term for any harmful threat or act directed at an individual or group based on actual or perceived biological sex, gender identity and/or expression, sexual orientation, and/or lack of adherence to varying socially constructed norms around masculinity and femininity. It is rooted in structural gender inequalities, patriarchy, and power imbalances. GBV is typically characterized by the use or threat of physical, psychological, sexual, economic, legal, political, social and other forms of control and/or abuse. GBV impacts individuals across the life course and has direct and indirect costs to families, communities, economies, global public health, and development. Gender imbalances within Zambian culture have dramatically impacted the role and status of women and girls, while leading to negative results for all members of society. Of special significance, the role of gender in the HIV epidemic highlights the immediate need for activities that address inequality leading to that increased transmission of HIV. It is in this line that PEPFAR integrates GBV response into its mainstream HIV respon
