Why does so little aid money go to preventing violence against women and girls?


Some 14 million refugees and displaced women and girls were subjected to sexual violence in 2019, according to this report below by the International Rescue Committee.

Still, gender-based violence is often seen as a "second-tier priority" during a humanitarian response, and the lack of funding to prevent it bolsters that reality.

Of the $41.5 billion spent on humanitarian responses between 2016 and 2018, just $51.7 million - less than 0.2 percent - was spent on GBV prevention for women and girls.
