Government: Investing in Prevention Saves Lives and Resources
Safe YOU offers a cost-effective solution for governments seeking to tackle gender-based violence (GBV) and create a safer society.
The High Cost of Inaction:
A staggering USD 1.5 trillion is lost globally each year due to GBV, according to World Bank estimates. This immense financial burden arises from several factors:
-
Data Gaps: The lack of comprehensive data on GBV prevalence and trends hinders effective resource allocation and intervention strategies.
-
Limited Awareness: Insufficient awareness about the root causes and preventive methods of GBV allows the cycle of violence to perpetuate.
-
Inaccessible Data: Difficulty accessing existing data due to siloed information systems further impedes progress.
-
Financial Barriers: Resource constraints often limit governments' capacity to invest in robust GBV prevention programs.
