The Gender-Based Violence Task Force of the Interagency Gender Working Group Presents

Addressing Gender-Based Violence Through Cash Transfer Programming

This event series brings attention to the intersection between economic empowerment interventions―specifically cash transfers―and gender-based violence (GBV) and reproductive health outcomes. This webinar was the first of a two-part series.
