The Workshop on Financing the Reduction of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) will be held on multiple dates between March and August, 2025. Organised by the Criterion Institute, this workshop aims to explore how financial systems can be leveraged to address and reduce GBV. Participants will be introduced to the logic of finance and uncover leverage points and opportunities to influence the system.
Since 2017, the Criterion Institute has focused on the intersection of finance and GBV, collaborating with asset owners, asset managers, GBV experts, and governments to foster action and understanding.
Workshop and registration details are available on the official event page including workshop objectives, strategic priorities, and related publications.
