Developed by UN Women, this online course provides you with knowledge of the drivers, extent and impact of gender-based violence. It also provides evidence-based guidance for policy-makers and stakeholders to better understand how to prevent it from occurring and how to respond to it.

This self-learning course is designed to raise awareness of the UN's zero tolerance of workplace harassment, sexual harassment and abuse of authority.

It provides an introduction to the concepts, international framework, and methods for working toward gender equality and women’s empowerment. It also offers users the opportunity to make links between gender and specific thematic areas such as work; education; political participation; emergencies; peace and security; sexual and reproductive health; sexual and gender diversity and human rights; and violence against women.

The course primarily targets practitioners, those individuals working in key line ministries and organizations that provide support to survivors of violence in the social, health and police and justice sectors. The package is also useful for UN agencies, civil society and others or who are interested in this area and want to learn more about how to support women and girls who have experienced violence.
