GENDER BASED VIOLENCE AND COVID 19

To prevent and address GBV, we must work on dedicated actions and strategies, which are outlined in section 1 of this briefing note. UNDP Country Offices, UN sister agencies and other partners can also contribute to addressing GBV by ensuring that their broader interventions to cope with the COVID-19 crisis – even when they do not explicitly address GBV – can help enhance the protective factors to prevent GBV (see section 2). This briefing note also provides cross-cutting considerations to be mainstreamed across every intervention (see section 3).
