Collecting data and information on the impact of environmental degradation and climate change on gender-based violence prevalence is key to supporting better-informed and effective policies and programmes. This Wednesday, join an expert panel discussion on the role of data on gender-based violence and environment linkages within the context of influencing international biodiversity and climate agendas.
This webinar will bring together statisticians, academic and research experts across the globe that have been collecting data on gender-based violence and environment linkages. This webinar session is part of a series hosted by AGENT — Advancing Gender in the Environment, a 15-year collaboration between @IUCN and @USAID – and their flagship Gender-Based Violence and Environment Linkages Center.
