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.

Este resumen de aprendizaje proporciona una perspectiva general preliminar de los principios básicos y enfoques para el tratamiento de la salud mental basado en una perspectiva feminista para las sobrevivientes de la violencia basada en el género (VBG). En particular las sobrevivientes de la violencia sexual que experimentan síntomas de estrés postraumático u otras condiciones de la salud mental, que no puedan resolverse a través de una gestión más generalizada de casos de violencia basada en el género y/o apoyo psicosocial.
This annual report summarises the activity of the GBV AoR Helpdesk for the year 2022, including the type of queries the Helpdesk has responded to and the regions it has supported.
This guidance note has been generated in response to a request for practical guidance to GBV caseworkers in the Latin America region who have been asked to support women in detention settings and prisons who have experienced intimate partner violence (IPV) and who continue to be at risk of intimate partner violence whilst in detention/prison and upon release from detention/prison. This publication is likely, however, to have wider benefit to GBV caseworkers working in other humanitarian settings.
This learning brief focuses on technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) affecting publicly visible women in humanitarian and emergency contexts. The learning brief begins with an overview of TFGBV prevalence, then focuses on risk groups of publicly visible women and how TFGBV impacts them, including women parliamentarians and politicians, journalists, women human rights defenders and activists. It moves on to provide examples of good practice in working with these different groups of publicly visible women to prevent and respond to their particular risks of TFGBV.
This learning brief is meant to serve as a tool for donors and GBV programmers alike, to support discussions around what we know already know about the scope of GBV in humanitarian settings; why collecting GBV prevalence data is not a priority in humanitarian settings; and which data sources donors and practitioners can safely rely on to inform decision-making on GBV programming.
