My Body, My Life, My World Operational Guidance: Module 2 - Gender-based Violence

My Body, My Life, My World puts young people at the centre of UNFPA’s work, recognizing their right to make informed choices about their own bodies, their own lives and the world they live in. In 2022 UNFPA is publishing an Operational Guidance on the strategy for the staff of Country and Regional Offices and UNFPA Headquarters.

Module 2 defines gender-based violence (GBV), describes its impacts, gives an overview of the types of programming that can address it effectively in different contexts, and discusses how to generate and use data and evidence on GBV for more effective programming and advocacy.
