Applications are open for the 2020 World Bank and Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI) Development Marketplace, awarding innovative research to address gender-based violence.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates 35% of women worldwide have experienced physical or sexual partner violence or non-partner sexual violence, roughly 938 million women. The costs of gender-based violence (GBV) are substantial. Violence against women and girls impedes their full participation in society, limits access to education and economic participation, and hinders efforts to achieve gender equality broadly.
