The GBV Prevention Network is delighted to launch the 1st supra-regional website focusing on the prevention of GBV in Africa! The website is filled with the experiences, innovations and knowledge of over 100 member organizations throughout the Horn, East and Southern Africa.

This website is the virtual community or meeting place for Network members and other colleagues and friends interested in violence prevention on the Continent. It is a place for exchange, learning and dialogue. It is also a place where often hard to find regional and international resources about GBV prevention can be accessed.

Organizations in the regions have been providing life-saving services for women and girls for many years. Increasingly, there is also the recognition that we must also invest our energy, intellect and resources into programs that work to prevent violence against women from occurring.

It is our hope that the experiences shared and relationships built through the Network and this site will contribute to stronger GBV prevention programs throughout the regions.
