Understanding Gender-Based Violence (GBV)

This eye-opening episode explores Gender-Based Violence in the context of Bhutan’s Deaf community. The host and guest discuss why Deaf survivors face unique barriers—from communication challenges to inaccessible reporting systems—and how stigma and silence affect both women and men.
This episode includes:
• An explanation of different forms of GBV: physical, emotional, sexual, and economic
• Insights into why Deaf youth are more vulnerable to violence
• How social stigma affects male and female survivors differently
• Encouraging Deaf youth to speak up, seek help, and report violence
• Ways to reach accessible services through DPOB and schools

YPEER Asia Pacific Center -Ypeer AP and The Asian-Pacific Resource & Research Centre for Women (ARROW) with support of CYRC, Working Group on Disabilities and 2030 Agenda and partners had developed a comprehensive review of Bhutan’s progress on SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being from 2015 to 2025.

The report brings together evidence from more various reports, youth survey, and key informant interviews to highlight Bhutan’s achievements, remaining challenges, and recommendations to accelerate progress towards 2030. While Bhutan has made significant progress in SDG 3, challenges still remain.

This review celebrates Bhutan’s progress in advancing SDG 3, while also calling for stronger youth engagement, greater equity, and more inclusive health systems to ensure that no one is left behind.
