Why Not Local? Gender-based Violence, Women’s Rights Organisations, and the Missed Opportunity of COVID-19 - IRC 2021

Risk mitigation measures to prevent the spread of the virus, including lockdowns and restrictions of movement, made specific and serious disruptions in women and girls’ lives. These factors also intensified operational challenges to delivering lifesaving gender-based violence (GBV) response services, which in complex humanitarian settings were already an arduous undertaking.

Intimate Partner Violence and Forced Displacement: From Research to Action
Forced displacement is on the rise. At the end of 2020, there were over 80 million forcibly displaced persons worldwide, doubling since 2010. Although commitments to addressing the crisis are growing, knowledge gaps surrounding the impacts of forced displacement persist, especially in terms of how men and women are affected differently. The World Bank’s Gender Dimensions of Forced Displacement program seeks to bridge some of these gaps by studying how gender inequality interacts with and compounds forced displacement.
