UNFPA, UN Women, UNDP and IOM have strengthened their resolve to prevent and respond to Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and support implementation of Timor Leste’s National Action Plan on Gender-Based Violence with USD 7.7 million funding from KOICA.
The UN agencies jointly reiterated their commitment during the launch of a four-year project held on February 16 in Dili, Timor-Leste. The Project christened“Together for Equality: Preventing and Responding to Gender-Based Violence in Timor-Leste” that aims to provide support to key health and justice services, improving monitoring and reporting on violence in public and private spaces while addressing GBV in the context of disaster risk reduction.
