Gender-Based Violence
The Fund to End Gender-Based Violence
The Frontline Women’s Fund’s newly established Fund to End Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is dedicated to combating violence against women and girls globally. Through ongoing grants to frontline organizations, the fund supports survivors in seeking justice, empowering women and girls with knowledge of their rights, and advocating for legal reforms to hold perpetrators accountable. By addressing the root causes of GBV, providing comprehensive support to survivors, and working to improve the legal framework for protection from and prosecution of GBV, the fund’s grantees are working towards a world free from violence and discrimination. The fund takes a holistic approach to ending GBV, recognizing that systemic change requires not only immediate responses to violence but also long-term strategies to shift cultural norms and power dynamics.
The Fund to End Gender-Based Violence is dedicated to combating violence against women and girls globally, supporting grantees from Peru to Nepal. These grantees work tirelessly to promote sexual and reproductive health, foster domestic abuse survivors, end child marriage, advocate for the elimination of discrimination against women, and more.

How we are working to end violence against women
Combatting violence against women and girls is at the core of the work done by Frontline Women's Fund and our frontline grantees. Frontline Women's Fund’s grantees work around the world to end violence against women by supporting survivors in seeking justice and rebuilding their lives, by educating women and girls about their rights, and by strengthening advocacy for law reform and implementation. Specific issues that our frontline grantees work on include: rape and other forms of sexual violence, domestic abuse, preventing child marriage, ending female genital mutilation, and strengthening laws that prevent these forms of violence against women and girls and hold perpetrators accountable.
