Addressing Gender-Based Violence and Harassment: Emerging Good Practice for the Private Sector

From the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), and CDC Group. This note outlines emerging practices in addressing gender-based violence and harassment (GBVH) in operations and investments. These practices are drawn from recent experience in the private sector, as well as a larger body of work from the non-profit sector. The guidance provides an opportunity to engage with stakeholders to refine practices as those in the private sector collectively gain implementation experience.

In addition to this note, sector-specific briefs provide targeted guidance on addressing GBVH risks in key sectors, including transport, construction and manufacturing.
