Interventions directed at ending gender-based violence (GBV) are complex, as they must involve both prevention and response and must be tailored to specific geographic, socio-political, and cultural contexts. When GBV interventions are implemented in a country currently or recently in conflict, interventions must also be tailored to where a country is situated along the relief-development continuum. This event will examine the challenges associated with responding to and preventing GBV in countries at different stages of recovery from conflict.

Discussants are:
Ian Askew, Senior Associate, Population Council, and Director, Frontiers in Reproductive Health Program, Population Council
