Development

Complex situations exacerbate violence against women and girls and put them at even greater risk of suffering different forms of violence. While conflict, in particular, gives rise to new manifestations of systematic GBV, women and girls often remain at the greatest risk of physical, sexual, or emotional injury in their own homes and from family members or their intimate partners. Additionally, justice systems often break down in times of conflict or crisis, leaving women few options for recourse when they have experienced violence. Thus, in crises, women are more likely to experience violent crimes and less likely to receive justice (UNWomen et al 2018).
