This handbook aims to facilitate the empowerment of youth activists and youth workers who are gender diversity and LGBTIQ rights advocates to work with youth in tackling gender-based violence with inclusion, recognition, and diversity. 

To build an understanding about gender-based violence, its consequences, and how it can be tackled, the handbook begins by exploring the concept of gender; the relationship between sex, sexual identities, and sexual orientations; and the role of systemic oppression and gender discrimination in the perpetuation of gender-based violence. To respond to the learning needs among youth workers, the handbook continues by exploring how to identify or assess a gender-based violence context and then discusses the role of a gender-sensitive and participatory training approach in tackling gender-based violence.
