Breakthrough and partners are putting together a Pan-Asian forum for sharing of experiences and analysis on prevention of gender based violence (GBV) and gender based discriminaiton (GBD) through norm change from 2nd to 4th March 2022. Over the 3 days of the summit we plan to deep dive into creating a future agenda, priorities and strategies for preventing GBV and GBD through responsive actions towards norm change, strengthening response mechanisms and other transformative actions. The summit will be an interactive space for dialogues, networking, partnership building and listening to collectively take ahead the agenda of gender equality and justice across Asia between feminist activists and leaders across working in research, policy, and practice. It will also try to build a collective advocacy agenda for the region and look for organizing spaces, alliances and groups for working together in the future.

Who can apply ?

We want to hear from women’s rights activists, community and grassroots leaders, civil society organisations and networks, feminist economists and researchers, academics, policy makers, and development and humanitarian practitioners from all generations, identities and backgrounds who are directly or indirectly involved in promoting  committed and working towards prevention of GBV and GBD across different spaces and with different constituencies.
