Introduction

Gender-Based Violence and Financial Exclusion is an urgent development challenge affecting millions, leading to reduced economic participation, weakened household resilience, and long-term poverty cycles. Gender-Based Violence & Financial Exclusion Training Course provides deep insights into how gender inequalities, discriminatory financial systems, and social norms limit access to capital, credit, and income-generation opportunities for survivors and vulnerable groups. Using evidence-based strategies, participants learn how to design inclusive financial policies, strengthen protection mechanisms, and integrate gender-responsive approaches into economic development frameworks.

The course emphasizes high-impact tools for financial inclusion, risk assessment, community-based support systems, and gender empowerment models used across microfinance, social protection, and public institutions. Through practical case studies, participants gain the skills to identify patterns of exclusion, create safe pathways to financial services, and implement programs that support economic independence, resilience, and recovery for individuals affected by Gender-Based Violence.
