GBV
Gender-Based Violence Prevention
-
Preventing GBVPreventing GBV, to stop it from happening in the first place, is a key priority. Given that GBV is based on gender norms and gender-based power inequalities, GBV prevention strategies are intrinsically linked to efforts to increase gender equality more generally. Hence, rather than disconnecting and treating GBV as a separate and isolated problem, it has to be situated in the context of gender inequalities.
-
A shift in focusA shift in focus from seeing women (and other groups exposed to genderbased violence) as victims to seeing them as survivors, actors and agents of change with a strong focus on women and girls’ empowerment and agency
-
Increase women’s political participation and influenceEfforts to increase women’s political participation and influence in contexts of peace, conflicts and other humanitarian crisis. Women have rights to participate on equal terms with men in political bodies at all levels of the society, including in peace processes. In many countries women’s political representation is very low, and women are often excluded from formal peace negotiations. This has evastating consequences for the possibility to reach a sustainable development, peace and human security
-
Efforts to increase women’s economic empowermentEfforts to increase women’s economic empowerment that enhance women’s bargaining power and ability to leave abusive relationships. This includes strengthening women’s entrepreneurship and employment opportunities, improving women’s access to land and property rights, promoting equal sharing of unpaid care work between women and men and encouraging universal access to quality education. While such efforts can contribute to increased violence against women in the short term due to gender ideals linking masculinity to the provider role, increasing women’s economic empowerment is still crucial for longer term prevention of GBV. Women’s economic empowerment interventions which also address gender norms and reach couples and communities can reduce such risks.Efforts to increase sexual and reproductive healthEfforts to increase sexual and reproductive health and rights are crucial for preventing GBV given the close relationship between the two. Such efforts include promotion and protection of women’s right to have control and decide freely over matters related to their sexuality, including sexual and reproductive health, family-planning possibilities and HIV/Aids prevention.Incorporate men and boysIncorporate men and boys as perpetrators, as victims/survivors and as agents of change. Men and boys are often neglected as survivors of GBV. Hence, there is a need to recognise and address men’s and boys’ particular vulnerabilities and needs in relation to GBV.
