Abstract
Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV)
is the most prevalent form of gender inequality. More than
one third of the women in the world have experienced some
form of gender based violence. The impacts of such violence
extend far beyond the individual survivors, affecting
households and communities, and spanning across generations.
SGBV is widely recognized as a development constraint that
falls within the World Bank's mandate. This report is
an effort to take stock of the experience of the World Bank
in addressing SGBV, from 2008 to 2013, in order to capture
lessons for engaging more strategically on this issue across
the Bank portfolio. The report elaborates on the prevalence
of SGBV, the methodology adopted for the purpose of this
review, an overview of World Bank activities for SGBV,
lessons learned, addressing SGBV in design and
implementation, cross-cutting and operational lessons,
conclusions and recommendations.
