Evidence to Action: Igniting Change to End Gender-Based Violence
Event Overview: The event situates the 2023 inaugural United States National Plan to End Gender-Based Violence within in a global context to enable learning and progress across diverse settings. We convene policy leaders, advocates, practitioners, philanthropy and scholars to examine progress since the plan’s release, strategize on implementation, and examine metrics for accountability. A keynote panel and networking reception will mobilize action and catalyze connectivity to advance global women’s health and gender equity.
