WEBINAR REPLAY | LIVE TALK 07: How CDRFI policies and programmes can address gender-based violence (GBV)
Gender-based violence (GBV) may result from macro and micro-level climate risk insurance (CRI) pay-out and non-pay-out situations both at the intra-household level and at the community level. This is particularly a concern in a CRI operating context where there are existing high levels of GBV. As such, there is a real need and opportunity to identify and integrate considerations related to GBV into climate and disaster risk finance and insurance (CDRFI)-related programming.
On the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, FARM-D (hosted by PARM) and the InsuResilience Global Partnership’s Centre of Excellence on Gender-smart Solutions co-organized a webinar exploring the question of what actions can CDRFI policies and programmes take to address gender-based violence.
The discussion considered gender-based violence risks related to CDRFI. Leading experts discussed the examples of good practices and gaps for considering GBV risks in CDRFI and explored recommendations for future action on the intersection of GBV and CDRFI.
