Gender-based violence is a pervasive public health and human rights problem, which results in negative consequences for women's health and well-being, their families, and societies in general. Around the world at least one woman in every three has been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime. This report, commissioned by the IGWG, provides a literature review and analysis to USAID's Bureau for Global Health on programs in developing countries that have addressed or challenged gender-based violence with a link to the reproductive health/HIV sectors.
