UN women representative Daniel Winfrey says people who witness or are related in any way to a person experiencing GBV just stand by and do nothing about it.
GBV is everyone’s business – the bystander who witnesses it or who knows but does not take action – is as guilty as the perpetrator.
Winfrey says the bystander has the right to take action and report this matter to the relevant authority, even against the will of the survivor.
