Good Governance a remedy to Sexual and Gender-Based Violence By Diana Demba-Mutondo | APRM Women Champion CHAD
To address GBV effectively, it is crucial to consider the intersections between gender and governance in the design of gender-sensitive decision- making processes and policies. Moreover, integrating gender considerations into governance processes is essential for effectively mainstreaming gender in response, prevention, and management mechanisms for disasters and shocks. The African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) has placed particular
focus on this aspect in its member-state countries.
The Covid-19 outbreak has exacerbated the inequalities between men and women. A study conducted in six Sahelian countries (Chad, Mali, Senegal, Mauritania, Niger, and Burkina Faso) revealed a significant increase in domestic violence cases during the pandemic, with an average rise of 12% and a surge from 40.6% to 52.2%. Chad alone reported a 30% increase in domestic violence cases.
