The Toolkit is structured in five parts (sections) designed to distill technical content, guidance, and practical information on GBV prevention and response in economic growth projects.

PART 2: GBV definition, prevalence, and global statistics. This section discusses GBV as defined by the U.S. Government’s GBV Strategy. It outlines types of GBV in the workplace and the range of people exposed and susceptible to GBV at work, including high-risk workers. It also outlines global GBV statistics to set the context for how its prevalence affects workers around the world. This section also discusses the costs of GBV to individuals, households, and nations. It makes the case for why GBV matters to economic growth projects.
