Description

In order to understand the drivers of gender inequality and the policy landscape, Soul City commissioned a literature review of gender and gender-based violence (GBV) policy in the country. The focus of the review is on the health rights of adolescents and young people in relation to gender and gender-based violence. The review also identifies policy gaps and makes recommendations for policy including best practice from local, regional and international experience.
