Informing humanitarians worldwide 24/7 — a service provided by UN OCHA

Coalition on Violence Against Women

Description

Over the years, COVAW has invested in empowering women and girls to claim their rights; enabling equitable access to services, resources and opportunities; facilitating greater access to justice for survivors of Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV); and supporting change agents opposed to and committed to eradication of all forms of VAWG.

Our interventions are designed to deliberately address norms, attitudes, laws, policies and practices that affect women’s and girl’s safety and wellbeing in general. This is done through supporting development and implementation of gender progressive laws, policies and guidelines and consistent engagement with different actors to prevent and respond to VAWG and to hold perpetrators of these violations accountable.
