Our global Gender-Based Violence (GBV) team provides strategic technical support to actors across the GBV ecosystem from donors to community-level women-led organisations. We are a multi-disciplinary team delivering programme design and implementation support, advocacy, research reports, MEL and helpdesk services.
Our team aspires to apply our feminist principles in all our work and to support sustained and transformative change. We partner with diverse stakeholders and we take an intersectional approach to our work on GBV prevention and response across development and humanitarian contexts.
Our work includes primary prevention programming, community-level response to GBV and SEAH, school-related GBV, GBV in Emergencies, Technology-Facilitated GBV, Violence against LGBTQI+ communities, and GBV in Climate and Economic programming.

Engaging boys (up to age 18) is a critical yet under-explored area of GBV prevention in emergencies. This annotated bibliography provides an overview of relevant literature, evaluations, and programmatic examples for engaging boys in GBV prevention programming with a focus on high and middle-income settings and—to the extent knowledge exists— humanitarian contexts.
This report aims to provide comprehensive guidance on school-related gender-based violence (SRGBV), including on knowledge-based operational guidance, diverse case studies, existing literature, recommendations and practitioner consensus. This guidance hopes to benefit a global audience, including national education sectors, national and international stakeholders.
Unlike most other VAWG initatives, the programme aimed to tackle both intimate partner violence (IPV) as well as violence experienced by women and girls in public spaces. The programme sought to do so through targeted interventions with women's self-help groups (SHGs) and work with men and boys. This was a complex evaluation into highly sensitive issues and as such, it needed a highly specialist team of VAWG and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) experts.
Our team developed an evaluation design with two integrated components:
This guidance note aims to support UK Department for International Development (DFID) advisors and programme managers with evidence, examples and guidance on how to address harmful social norms in the context of preventative-VAWG programming.
This review of national education strategies in East Africa and the Pacific explores the current and comparative risks for under-18s in the region from online sexual abuse and exploitation. It looks at the specific vulnerabilities and drivers for abuse, and how these can be prevented through education strategies.
In response to limited evidence for the effectiveness of violence prevention interventions in India and the general lack of evaluations that capture impact, in 2013 DFID India commissioned Social Development Direct (SDDirect), together with Columbia University, and New Concept Information Systems (NCIS) to conduct an independent impact evaluation of the DFID-funded Safe Cities Initiative (SCI) in Madhya Pradesh (2013-2015) – to provide robust evidence on what interventions work (and do not work) to reduce violence against women and girls (VAWG).
