WPC, RSH Pakistan launch study on GBV financing in Islamabad

ISLAMABAD – The Women’s Par­liamentary Caucus (WPC) of the National Assembly, in collaboration with the Safeguarding Resource and Support Hub (RSH) Paki­stan, launched the sum­mary findings of a study on safeguarding and gen­der-based violence (GBV) financing at the Islamabad Marriott Hotel on Tuesday.

The study examines the visibility and traceability of funding for GBV prevention and response, prevention of sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment (PSEAH), gender-responsive budg­eting and institutional ac­countability. Speaking at the event, MNA and WPC Secretary Dr Shahida Re­hmani stressed the need for adequate resources, ev­idence-based policymaking and stronger parliamentary oversight to translate legis­lation into effective action.
