Addressing Gender-Based Violence and Harassment: Emerging Good Practice for the Private Sector

July 13, 2020

Jointly commissioned by IFC, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), and CDC Group, Addressing Gender-Based Violence and Harassment: Emerging Good Practice for the Private Sector outlines emerging practices in addressing gender-based violence and harassment (GBVH) in operations and investments. These practices are drawn from recent experience in the private sector, as well as a larger body of work from the non-profit sector. The guidance provides an opportunity to engage with stakeholders to refine practices as those in the private sector collectively gain implementation experience.

In addition to this note, sector-specific briefs provide targeted guidance on addressing GBVH risks in key sectors, including transport, construction and manufacturing.
