Query 284 - Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on Violence Against Women and Girls
Evidence on how the Covid-19 pandemic might impact on violence against women and girls.
SDDirect is a prominent global leader in gender-based violence (GBV) programming, policy, and research, anchored in feminist principles. We partner with diverse groups and stakeholders, offering technical support, training, and accompaniment throughout programme and investment lifecycles.
We recognise the importance of integrating gender-based violence prevention and response across other aspects of our work as an accelerator for achieving gender equality.
1/3 women and girls endure physical or sexual violence, with heightened risk for those facing discrimination based on factors like poverty, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and HIV status.
Violence against women and girls is a significant human rights and public health issue rooted in power imbalances. Its costs, both social and economic, are immense, lasting generations.
Prevention is possible through an intersectional, evidence-based, and practice-oriented approach addressing the underlying causes.
Prevention and response: Holistic programming to end VAWG in various settings with an emphasis on primary prevention accompanied by response.
GBV in emergencies: GBV prevention and response in humanitarian programming with a focus on policy, guidance, capacity strengthening and research and evaluation.
School related GBV: Prevention and response in education spaces, with a focus on gendered and intersectional analysis.
Violence against LGBTQI+ communities: Prevention and response with a focus on intersectional analysis, research and evaluation.
Technology facilitated GBV: Prevention and response with a focus on policy, guidance, capacity strengthening and research and evaluation.
We envision a world free from all forms of gender-based violence, where all women, girls and gender diverse people can realise their rights and exercise choice and agency.
Helpdesk services; programme leadership; technical assistance, accompaniment and training; knowledge products and guidance material; policy and programme guidance; specialist research, monitoring and evaluation on GBV.
We take a feminist intersectional approach to our work on GBV, recognising how gender inequality intersects with other systems of oppression, discrimination and structural inequalities, including (but not limited to) those related to race, ethnicity, class, cast, homo and transphobia, ableism, ageism, nationality, immigration status, refugee and asylum seeker status, and health status.
