Gender-based violence (GBV)
SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT
The Southeast Asia Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Prevention Platform is a pivotal initiative supported by a AUD20 million investment from the Australian Government over five years (2024 to 2029). The Platform aims to enhance GBV prevention efforts across Southeast Asia by fostering collaboration among governments, civil society organisations, international bodies, and other stakeholders. We are guided by the principles of being locally driven, evidence-based, inclusive and diverse, survivor-centred and trauma informed, adaptable, collaborative, minimising harm, accessible and innovative. We seek to build capacity, amplify evidence, and innovate in the prevention of GBV. 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES 
Technical:
  • Provide support to the Facilitate Pillar Led in designing, co-creating and implementing capacity strengthening strategies for practitioners (primarily women’s rights organisations) and policymakers, focusing on evidence-based primary prevention.
  • Work collaboratively with women’s rights organisations and constituency-based groups to gather inputs to inform the development of GBV prevention instructional materials – courses, training manuals, facilitation guides.
  • Provide technical support to women’s rights organisations in designing and implementing evidence-based primary prevention interventions such as the RESPECT Framework.
