To find a solution to the world’s most pressing challenges, inclusive, honest, and diverse conversations are needed. As a society, we are not only confronted with coronavirus and other challenges but also a shadow pandemic: increasing rates of sexual and gender-based violence in all its forms. To bring this issue to light, click here for a ‘Real Talk’ recording of conversations to co-create actions to tackle this disturbing trend.
Some organisations, like ActionAid Ireland, who we are just starting work with, are striving to put Violence Against Women and Girls at the forefront of the global agenda. They focus on promoting women’s rights and women’s economic empowerment, also calling for an end to gender-based violence and genital mutilation.
This week we are embarking on a strategy review process. This will involve a range of sessions with the ActionAid Ireland team and wider stakeholders to take stock of the progress that has been made against the current strategy.
