Enjeux et expériences par thème: violence

The Genre en action website hosts a section called Issues and Experiences by Theme (Enjeux et expériences par thème). One of the themes is violence against women and gender based violence. A series of articles from various countries and regions of the world are featured. Some articles approach the subject from a global angle. Titles include: women's health and domestic violence; freedom from violence as a human right; human trafficking and Information and Communication Technology (ICTs); violence against women and girls during armed conflict. Other articles are context specific and focus on issues like domestic violence in the Ivory Coast; fighting against female genital mutilation in Sub-Saharan Africa; domestic violence in Europe; and government measures to prevent violence against women in France. Other themes in the Issues and Experiences by Theme section include masculinities, the media, poverty, migration, health and work/employment. Genre en action is a Francophone network of institutions and individuals aiming to contribute to building knowledge and capacities on gender and development issues by capitalising on francophone approaches and resources. Their website is in French and hosts resources, methodologies, news, and tools on gender and development and offers the opportunity to participate in discussion forums.
