Benefits of Gender Equality and Gender-Based Violence Prevention and Response Programming in Schools and Educational Settings - GBV AoR Helpdesk 2025
03 Jul, 2025
This evidence digest examines available documentation on three main issues: 1) whether and how targeted school-based GBV prevention and response initiatives can reduce boys’ perpetration of violence, in the present and into adulthood; 2) whether and how targeted school-based GBV prevention and response initiatives can decrease exposure to violence for girls, both in the short and long term; and 3) any evidence of improvements in educational outcomes for children who participate in school-based GBV prevention and response programs. The research is presented in the form of an annotated bibliography that is organized in three main sections according to these topics. Each section begins with an overall summary of the findings for the specific topic, followed by the bibliographic entries presented alphabetically by author. The bibliography comprises the results of a preliminary online desk review of research published globally over the past 15 years, with particular attention to case stu...

Responding to violence against women based on their diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions – an annotated bibliography of resources - GBV AoR Helpdesk 2021
13 May, 2021
Responding to violence against women based on their diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions – an annotated bibliography of resources All women and girls face oppression, discrimination and marginalization based on gender inequality, but not all women and girls experience oppression and inequality in a homogeneous way. Oppression may be compounded by their sexual orientation, gender expression and gender identity. Despite there being a broad understanding that women and girls with diverse SOGIEs are at heightened risk of violence due to multiple and intersecting factors, there is limited evidence and documented practice of responses to this violence. This learning brief assembles resources regarding response that originate from a wide pool of actors including UN agencies, INGOs, World Bank and other Non-humanitarian sources.
