Translating Evidence into Action for Victim/Survivor-centred Governance
An alarming number of women and girls become victims/survivors of gender-based violence
(GBV) at least once during their lifetime. While GBV has garnered more attention from
policymakers in recent years, and has become a top gender-equality priority for OECD
countries, significant challenges remain in all countries. This report promotes a
comprehensive approach to breaking the cycle of GBV by combining insights from recent
OECD work with robust evidence from surveys and questionnaires conducted in OECD Member
countries. It offers recommendations for a comprehensive OECD GBV Governance Framework
encompassing laws and access to justice, transforming restrictive gender norms, and
integrating service delivery to prevent, address and - ultimately - end this violation
of human rights.
