Gender-Based Violence (GBV) remains a serious issue in Tuvalu, affecting the safety, health, and rights of women and girls. Cultural norms, limited access to support services, and underreporting contribute to the ongoing challenges in addressing GBV. Efforts are being made to raise awareness, strengthen legal protections, and provide support for survivors, but continued community involvement and support are essential to end GBV in Tuvalu.

Gender, youth, and disability mainstreaming

Developing and implementing policies and programs that left no one behind require constant attention on the potential impacts decisions, programs, and services have on all people, including – and especially – the ones who do not have the equal opportunities to participate in the identification of problems and the decisions. This is what the practice of gender mainstreaming and social inclusion aims for: making sure that the diversity of experiences, needs, concerns, priorities, and rights of all people, from different age, gender, location, (dis)ability, economic situation, social status, is informing policy making, program’ designs, and delivery of services, so that people’s needs are addressed.
