-------------------------
Course Description:

Gender-based violence (GBV) has been recognized as a cross-cutting
issue affecting the lives of victims from a diversity of dimensions
including culture, education, health, economy, psychology, livelihoods
and political participation. In fact, violence against women and girls
was chosen as one of the critical areas of action in the four
countries, following the Beijing Conference. This presents a key
opportunity for different players, including government agencies,
NGOs, United Nations agencies and other institutions, to build an
understanding on issues of violence and undertake activities to combat
violence. This online course is imperative to build this understanding
and initiate and strengthen programmes combating gender-based
violence.

This course is aimed at building the capacity and commitment of
participants to undertake programs targeted at eradicating gender-
based violence and to develop a new movement for gender equality.

The course also features a number of exercises and reflective
activities designed to examine the concepts of gender, gender-based
violence, sexuality, and rights. It will further explore the impact of
gender-based violence on education, health and development.

Benefits:

participant’s knowledge and understanding of the concept of gender,
and gender-based violence, sexuality, and rights. It will further take
a look at the various forms of gender-based violence and the core
principles for a code of conduct, reporting mechanisms and developing
a programmatic response.

Target Audience:
This course is designed for gender focal points, programme managers
and professional responsible for developing and implementing
interventions aimed at combating gender-based violence or promoting
gender equality. They will include researchers, policy-makers,
