No excuse: Invest to prevent violence against women and girls

This archived cooperative-sector item focuses on preventing violence against women and girls and on the importance of safe, inclusive participation. It notes that conflict, climate shocks, public-health crises, and online abuse can increase risks faced by women and girls.

The cooperative movement’s response is framed around zero tolerance for workplace violence and harassment, stronger prevention, decent work, gender equality, and investment in systems that protect women and girls. B4Coop retains the ICA source for the complete statement and its linked international references.
