Violence against women and girls and intersectionality

This resource summarises evidence on violence against women and girls (VAWG) and intersectionality. It shares evidence on which groups of women are at increased risk of violence due to multiple discriminations or disadvantages. It also explains how to prevent the most marginalised and excluded groups, including lesbian and bisexual women, women living with disabilities, and women living with HIV from experiencing violence.
