Ending gender-based violence is a priority for the World Bank
In 1993, the Declaration of the Elimination of Violence Against Women recognized that violence against women violates women’s rights and fundamental freedoms, and called on states to work towards its eradication. However, thirty years on, women continue to face the risk of violence at home, on the street, on transport, in schools and in the workplace. The World Bank has increasingly engaged to prevent and respond to gender-based violence.
