Do I submit it as sex-based instead?

I don't need this job, but would it be wrong?

They can read into it they like, you know what you mean and aren't writing a lie.

@Charliebrow has it, I think.

Often gender-based violence is used because it prevents the term getting mixed up with sex attacks like sexual assault and rape.

What about calling it what it largely is: violence against women and girls

I think the most commonly used term is SGBV - Sex and gender based violence but often its shortened to Gender based violence. I would submit it as SGBV (sex and gender based violence) if anyone asks, that's the term bodies like the UN usually use.

It wasn't what was said, I'd be bloody tempted. Also, as much to see if they noted as anything else. Minute takers actually have quite a bit of power.
