Gender based violence - SADC Barometer 2017

In the SADC region as elsewhere, there is beginning to be a paradigm shift on Gender Based Violence (GBV) from response to prevention. In July 2017, UN Women convened a meeting in Johannesburg, South Africa that brought together several practitioners and experts on GBV across the globe. The take home message from the three-day conference was the need to rethink and asses existing GBV prevention and response strategies and focus more on evidence-based interventions through collection of reliable data.
