UNFPA Publishes New Report on Gender-Based Violence

Tuesday, February 17, 2009 9:55 AM

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) recently released a report entitled Addressing Gender-based Violence: UNFPA Strategy and Framework for Action. This report identifies the particular areas where action is most urgently needed and proposes general policy frameworks for combating gender-based violence. The proposals, which focus on reducing gender inequality and discrimination, are aimed at UNFPA's overarching goal of eliminating violence against women and girls. Additionally, UNFPA's core population and development goals are furthered by the promotion of women's rights. The report critically examines existing policy frameworks, and suggests where future efforts need to be concentrated.

A full copy of the report is available here.
