Module 2: Equality for Women = Prosperity for all

#GET1: The Virus of Violence

In our first #GenderEqualityTalks we discuss the impact of gender-based violence on women’s economic empowerment and sustainable development. Augusto highlights the prevalence of gender-based violence around the world and its economic costs, including lost productivity and increased healthcare costs.

Reflection:

Within your own jurisdiction in the local government, are there any rules or legislation like the ones mentioned in the discussion? What can you, from your position and mandate, do to challenge them?
Do you have any good examples within your local government on work against gender based violence that you would like to share with others?

To facilitate and reflect over these questions in a democratic and inclusive way in a workshop, read through ICLD democratic workshop handbook.
