The Southeast Asia Gender-Based Violence Prevention Platform

The Southeast Asia Gender-Based Violence Prevention Platform (The Platform) was established out of a shared commitment to end GBV against women and girls in all their diversity across Southeast Asia. An Australian Government investment, the Platform aims to strengthen locally led efforts to prevent GBV through evidence-based advocacy, dialogue, policy and programming in Southeast Asia. The Platform is working with practitioners and policy makers to drive and fund research to inform evidence-based actions to prevent GBV across Southeast Asia. It is a regional program headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand, and operating in Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Brunei, Myanmar, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, Cambodia, Viet Nam, and Timor-Leste. It further serves as a coalition building and facilitation mechanism, bringing together diverse stakeholders across the region to collaborate, share and work together to build capacity, evidence and action to prevent GBV in all its forms.

The Platform principles are locally driven, evidence-based, intersectional, survivor-centred and trauma informed, adaptive, collaborative and catalysing, do no harm, accessible and innovative. Discover more: https://prevention-platform.org/
