United States Strategy to Prevent and Respond to Gender-Based Violence Globally: 2022 Update
United States. Agency for International Development; United States. Department of State
From the Introduction: "The United States believes that preventing and responding to gender-based violence around the world is a matter of human rights, justice, equity, and equality. In 2012, the U.S. Congress first requested a 'multi-year strategy to prevent and respond to violence against women and girls,' which led to the development of the first 'U.S. Strategy to Prevent and Respond to Gender-Based Violence Globally.' This strategy, and the subsequent update in 2016, elevated the human rights of women and girls globally as a U.S. national security, diplomatic, and foreign assistance priority. Ten years later, our commitment to this issue remains steadfast and our knowledge of best and promising practices has grown. Nonetheless, gender-based violence remains all too common around the world, including in the United States. [...] With this third iteration of the 'U.S. Strategy to Prevent and Respond to Gender-Based Violence Globally,' we seek to: 'advance equity and inclusivity' and address the factors that increase the risks of gender-based violence and undermine access to services and safety, particularly for the most marginalized groups; 'support comprehensive approaches' for addressing gender-based violence priorities across a range of thematic areas; and 'strengthen the commitment and work of the U.S. government' to scale what works, enhance our partnerships, and improve our capacity to prevent and respond to gender-based violence."
