This report identifies a range of funding opportunities for national and local women’s rights organizations to help prevent and respond to GBV in emergencies. 

Women around the world have lived experiences that are different from men, informed by norms that perpetuate gender inequality. This gender inequality in turn underpins multiple forms of violence that women and girls are exposed to across their lives.
