  • The global cost of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) has been estimated at least 1.5 trillion dollars

    A World Bank study found that VAWG costs 1.2-3.7% of GDP for some countries, and the WB emphasises that these proportions of GDP are what many countries spend on primary education.

The video from Astro Awani discusses the IDEVAW 2024 (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) with a focus on addressing economic violence and the life cycle of poverty. It highlights how economic violence, which includes practices like wage discrimination, economic exploitation, and denial of access to financial resources, perpetuates poverty among women. The segment features insights from experts and activists who emphasize the need for systemic changes to empower women economically, ensuring they have equal opportunities for financial independence and security. They discuss various initiatives and policies aimed at breaking the cycle of poverty through education, employment opportunities, and legal protections against economic abuse. The video underscores the importance of recognizing economic violence as a form of gender-based violence and calls for collaborative efforts from government, NGOs, and the private sector to create a more equitable society.
