Gender justice is a central concern of development policy and one of the core topics of D+C/E+Z. Our online overview compiles contributions from all over the world.
How can cooperation between humanitarian organisations and women's groups help to reduce violence against women? Glory Makena and Brianna Guidorzi from International Rescue Committee (IRC) explore this question in their contribution for D+C/E+Z. They give an insight into the situation in South Sudan and explain what IRC is doing to fight gender-based violence.
