CALL TO ACTION on Protection from Gender-based Violence in Emergencies
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a terrible effect on women’s and girls’ rights, health, and protection. However, the pandemic has also highlighted the critical role that local women-led and women’s rights organizations play—including as service providers. In 2020, partners of the Call to Action on Protection from Gender-based Violence in Emergencies (Call to Action) came together to address this shadow pandemic and develop a new Road Map for 2021–2025, with a much stronger focus on localization. The Road Map was launched on the margins of the 2020 United Nations (UN) General Assembly.
ABAAD is an active member of the Call to Action Steering Committee 2021.
