Before the COVID-19 pandemic, 1 in 3 women worldwide experienced physical or sexual violence. In recent times, lockdowns have restricted women’s mobility, increased economic strain and familial stress, and worsened the threat of violence.

A “shadow pandemic” of gender-based violence has emerged.

Join our researcher Dr. Felicia M. Knaul and speakers from World Bank, Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL), Duke University, and Center for Global Development tomorrow for this webinar.

Before #COVID19, 1 in 3 women in the world suffered from either sexual or physical violence.
