Violence against women and girls (VAWG) has significant and lasting physical, economic, and psychological consequences on women and girls, which hinder their full participation in society. Despite alarming statistics, global evidence suggests that VAWG is preventable. In recent decades, numerous countries, guided by regional and international human rights frameworks, have implemented national action plans (NAPs) to address VAWG and promote gender equality. However, many NAPs primarily focus on responding to violence after it occurs, rather than addressing its root causes. Our global aspiration to eradicate VAWG hinges on preventing violence in the first place through a comprehensive, inclusive approach, with gender equality at its core. This handbook is designed to strengthen national, multisectoral efforts for VAWG prevention and to inspire governments and stakeholders to prioritize, fund, and commit to preventing and ending VAWG in our lifetime.

Development Initiatives (DI) works with partners and allies to strengthen the quality and use of data and evidence that can inform decision-making to tackle poverty and inequality in all its forms. We have conducted several independent projects focusing on gender data and this briefing presents key challenges we have encountered in that process alongside opportunities we have identified to improve the gender data landscape. Strengthening this landscape is an intentional focus of DI’s work going forwards, supporting the use of robust evidence to understand and reduce gender inequalities.

End the gender pension gap, calls the European Parliament - AGE Platform Europe (age-platform.eu)
END THE EU GENDER PENSION GAP: EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT Resolution +
The pension gap between women and men, of about 40 %, is a major problem to be addressed by an EU level strategy, states a resolution adopted by the European Parliament on 14 June. The resolution is a major step in raising awareness for the issue of the gender pension gap, its many causes and consequences.
AGE highly welcomes the report which points on many issues that lead to an imbalance between women and men and an increased risk of poverty of older women.
