To involve key stakeholders in its preparation – particularly civil society and women’s groups, policy makers and other experts – UN Women will use a two-week online discussion (23 July – 3 August) on the critical gaps and challenges facing women and girls in the priority area: the elimination and prevention of all forms of violence against women and girls.

Within this, the two key areas of focus are primary prevention (stopping violence before it starts) and multisectoral services and responses to victims/survivors.

The first week’s discussion (23 – 27 July) will focus on primary prevention. The second week (30 July – 3 August) will be on support services and responses, across sectors. You must REGISTER to take part in the discusison.
