OHCHR has developed an office-wide strategy on gender-based violence, which includes the prevention of sexual violence in conflict, to ensure all our operations adopt a comprehensive approach to eradicating and redressing it. The strategy, embedded in the current Office Management Plan, ensures that dedicated resources are used efficiently and with maximum impact. It focuses on the root causes of gender-based violence, including harmful gender and social norms, by addressing gaps in the protection of civil and political rights as well as economic, social and cultural rights.
