Gender-based violence (GBV) is a global issue that affects millions of individuals, particularly women and girls. To address this pressing issue, efforts from multiple players at many levels that involve innovative and out of the box thinking approaches are essential. One such approach is the use of digital tools to raise awareness of existing support services to survivors and map GBV service providers, ensuring that survivors of sexual exploitation abuse (SEA) and sexual harassment (SH) have access to quality support and care. This blog explores how digital tools are playing an important role in combating gender-based violence, drawing insights from initiatives led by the Geo-Enabling Initiative for Monitoring and Supervision (GEMS) team within the Fragility, Conflict and Violence Group of the World Bank.
