ENDING GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE. ADVANCING GENDER EQUITY.
Gender-based violence is not simply a women’s issue.
Gender-based violence is any violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual, psychological harm or suffering to men or women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life.
DAWN Worldwide works with the finance ecosystem to create comprehensive approaches to GBV that address inequities on the basis of gender. Our partners design frameworks, roadmaps, and tools to enable investors and financiers to not only prioritize GBV in their deployment of capital and influence to create solutions from a gender and human rights perspective, but also identify gaps that prevent them from doing so. We urge financial institutions to increase and improve their efforts to prevent GBV, addressing the harsh intersectionalities that impede progress towards gender equity within the ESG framework.
