Ending Violence against Women and Girls

Abstract

Gender-based violence (GBV) is one of the most prevalent and destructive problems that women and girls face in the world, constraining their full participation in social, economic, and political life, and with negative repercussions for societies as a whole. The Asia Foundation pursues a holistic approach to ending violence against women and girls (VAWG) through evidence-based strategies that are rooted in decades of experience across Asia and the Pacific.
