GENDER EQUALITY & FRAGILITY
Gender equality and fragility are inextricably linked. Addressing issues of gender inequality in fragile contexts requires systematic approaches that work through the complexity of fragility. It requires contextual understanding of social norms, political sensitivities, environmental concerns, and other risks that continue to perpetuate fragility. The OECD Fragility Framework provides pathways to address those inequalities and to further understand the relevance of gender within each dimension. An analysis of gender equality within the fragility framewo
rk also highlights the far-reaching implications that gender-related issues have towards driving the root causes of conflict and beyond.

DEVELOPMENT FINANCE TOWARDS THE ELIMINATION OF GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE
Violence against women and girls (VAWG) remains a global pandemic. Addressing it requires a multifaceted response, including redressing large-scale gender inequalities and power imbalances, and other fragilities. Globally, more than one-third of all women have experienced gender-based violence (GBV)1 in their lifetime, an average that increases significantly when looking at certain regions (WHO, 2021[1]). However, this average is likely to be much higher, as stigmas, lack of institutional trust, and fears of unsafety lead to high levels of under-reporting; in OECD and non-OECD countries alike. The global COVID-19 crisis has exacerbated these issues, leading to an increase of all types of violence against women and girls, also called “the shadow pandemic” (UN Women, 2020[2]). Adding to this perpetuation and complexity is the triple-nexus of conflict, COVID-19, and climate change, which accelerate worldwide inequalities.
