Ending Violence Against Women and Girls

Join Global Health on Follow Global Health on Yesterday, December 10th, we marked Human Rights Day and the close of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. Over the past 16 days, we've highlighted different ways the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) prevents and responds to gender-based violence (GBV) around the globe, including our work in Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. In Rwanda, USAID is training healthcare providers to respond to the physical and emotional needs of child survivors of gender-based violence.  In Uganda, USAID is supporting the Real Fathers mentoring program. REAL Fathers teaches young fathers between the ages of 16–25 about relationship and parenting skills and peaceful conflict resolution strategies to prevent and address intimate partner violence and violence against children. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, USAID's Transforming Masculinities program works with faith communities to prevent intimate partner violence.  Learn more Website: Explore USAID's 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence webpage Discover: Find out how USAID responds to gender inequalities and HIV Explore: Learn more about the recent USAID-supported World Health Organization guidelines, Responding to children and adolescents who have been sexually abused Follow: USAID's Global Health pages on Facebook and Twitter to find out more about our work.
