Strategic communications

GL presented comprehensive findings from the SADC Gender Protocol barometer to the OECD, highlighting both significant progress and ongoing challenges in the pursuit of gender equality throughout the SADC region. The SADC Gender barometer rigorously evaluates 100 indicators across various domains, including health, GBV, education, economic empowerment, and political participation. This in-depth analysis not only sheds light on the current state of gender equality but also holds governments accountable for their commitments and responsibilities outlined in the SADC Gender Protocol, prompting policy discussions and potential reforms to further advance gender equity in the region.

Through these efforts, GL sought to educate the public about the prevalence and impact of gender-based violence, ultimately working towards a safer and more equitable society for all women.
