One of the major challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic is an increase in sexual and gender-based violence, which widely affects mostly girls and women. Before the pandemic, UN Women reported that 1 in 3 women had experienced physical and sexual violence. This number is expected to be higher now, and the research will show the extent. It is therefore not surprising that one of the key commitments from the Generation Equality Forum is bringing an end to gender-based violence.
This study report is one of many approaches CEHURD is taking to see this commitment to fruition. The findings should inform interventions in ending gender-based violence and upholding the rights of those who have been most affected by it, that is women and girls.
