In recent years, countries around the world have passed laws criminalizing different forms of gender-based violence. Yet violence remains a serious threat for millions of women and girls who face barriers to reporting violence and accessing support services and resources. Why are laws often insufficient and how can we strengthen implementation? Join the Wilson Center for a conversation that will draw out best practices for preventing and responding to gender-based violence globally—from training police and prosecutors to better data collection, awareness campaigns, and services integration.

- Michele Bachelet, former Executive Director of UN Women and former President of Chile
