What Works in Gender and Health Webinar Series

The session explored questions around the frightening increase in GBV in 2020, as many were confined to their homes, jobs were lost, and lives and livelihoods were severely disrupted. The speakers also discussed and answer questions about how the increase in violence has not been limited to private spaces and how attacks on healthcare workers, the majority of which are female, were also widely reported.

The speakers reflected upon how now more than ever, after analysing a year of increased GBV, the call and actions required to eliminate all forms of GBV take on a new level of urgency.
