Accountability in Action Pocketbook

Array

The Accountability in Action: State Obligations on EVAWG Pocketbook supports feminist movements and women’s rights organisations (WROs) in their efforts to hold governments accountable in their commitments to ending violence against women and girls by demystifying EVAWG political machinery and implementation, offering concrete strategies to monitor state performance and budget allocation, and enabling more precise, purposeful engagement with policymakers.

The content was informed by a series of learning dialogues with WROs hosted by COFEM through UN Women’s ACT initiative, alongside key reference documents.
