Workshop on Financing the Reduction of Gender-Based Violence - Mar 2026

Criterion is a nonprofit think tank that works with social change-makers to demystify finance and broaden their perspective on how to engage with, and shift financial systems. Over the last 15 years Criterion has done this through a methodology and set of practices that move leaders beyond understanding finance to believing in their own ability use financial systems to advance the social change we seek.Criterion is working towards a future where the power of our financial systems is widely used for social good.

CRITERION INSTITUTE

Join Criterion Institute as we take a deep dive into how finance can be used as a tool to reduce GBV.

Criterion Institute is dedicated to expanding what is seen as possible​ for using finance to create transformative social change. ​At our core, our focus is on power. We examine power within financial systems, the structures, processes, and functions within finance that dictate how the system operates.  In 2017, we made a strategic decision to intentionally focus 30% of Criterion’s work on the intersection of finance and gender-based violence. We worked with four key audiences; asset owners, asset managers, GBV experts and governments to foster will to act, imagination and understanding. Over the years, Criterion has developed publications focused on addressing GBV including <a href="https://www.criterioninstitute.org/roadmaps/roadmap-for-development-finance-institutions-strategies-to-address-gender-based-violence" title="https://www.criterioninstitute.org/roadmaps/roadmap-for-development-finance-institutions-strategies-to-address-gender-based-violence" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Roadmap for Development Finance Institutions: Strategies to Address Gender-based Violence</a>, <a href="https://www.criterioninstitute.org/roadmaps/shifting-power-dynamics-to-end-sexual-exploitation-in-kenyan-supply-chains" title="https://www.criterioninstitute.org/roadmaps/shifting-power-dynamics-to-end-sexual-exploitation-in-kenyan-supply-chains" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Shifting Power Dynamics to End Sexual Exploitation in Kenyan Supply Chains</a> and <a href="https://www.criterioninstitute.org/resources/covid-19-diligence-tool-unicef-criterion" title="https://www.criterioninstitute.org/resources/covid-19-diligence-tool-unicef-criterion" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Mitigating the Risks of Gender-Based Violence: A Due Diligence Guide for Investing</a>. We have seen a growing interest from many ecosystem actors eager to learn more about our work using finance to address GBV. In response to this enthusiasm, we will be organizing workshops to share lessons from our expertise in the field.  We are delighted to invite you to join us for our workshop designed to help you explore possibilities of how you might use systems of finance as a tool to address GBV. The workshop will introduce participants to the logic of finance and uncover leverage points and opportunities to influence the system.
