Description
Freedom from violence is a fundamental precondition of women's ability to live, work and express their full potential. Women - and the economies they live in -
cannot thrive when they are subject to violence. Yet one in three women globally face physical or sexual violence, and the pandemic has intensified the rate of
gender-based violence. In all, intimate partner violence costs the global economy some US$110 billion per year. Why does gender-based violence matter to
business? How can economies, businesses, investors, individuals and organisations uproot the dynamics of gender-based violence to empower women to
thrive?
