HARNESSING THE POWER OF DATA FOR GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND RESPONSE
Gender data is essential to preventing and responding to gender-based violence effectively and appropriately. Data influences the full spectrum of activities – from primary prevention, which involves addressing the drivers of GBV by delivering society-wide initiatives with the ultimate goal of stopping violence before it occurs, to response activities which encompass support services for survivors and initiatives that hold perpetrators to account and enable behaviour change to stop it from happening again. Data also informs ‘recovery’ activities or the ongoing processes that enable survivors to find safety, health, wellbeing, healing, and thrive in all areas of life.
Individual-level and disaggregated data provide intersectional insights that can show who is most impacted, and is critical for devising responses that are appropriate and effective.
