Resource Update: UN Women's Global Virtual Knowledge Center to End Violence Against Women and Girls

Tuesday, March 29, 2011

A new design and several updates are now part of the UN Women's Global Virtual Knowledge Center to End Violence Against Women and Girls. This online resource provides international practitioners, policy-makers and advocates with programming materials, case studies, and tools in key subject areas such as Safe Cities, Men and Boys, Health, and Legislation. Updates to the resource include French and Spanish versions of the Legislation module, developed by The Advocates for Human Rights.

Practitioners can now become members of the site to receive updates about forthcoming modules.
