Tomorrow: Gender-Based Violence in a Pandemic: Evidence to Inform Prevention and Response
Wednesday Sept. 23 | 10:30am ET
Register: https://www.povertyactionlab.org/event/gender-based-violence-pandemic-evidence-inform-prevention-and-response?j=312942&sfmc_sub=6918090&l=359_HTML&u=8995718&mid=100010557&jb=2
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, a “shadow pandemic” of gender-based violence (GBV) has emerged, with some recent data showing increases in reports of GBV across the world. Responding to GBV can be challenging, particularly in a time of crisis when governments and practitioners are working to simultaneously address a range of issues, from public health concerns to economic repercussions.
This webinar will explore key questions on addressing GBV during a pandemic and share insights from research that might be useful for practitioners as they work towards preventing and addressing GBV during the pandemic.
