Addressing the public safety of girls and women in India
Commitment description:The UN Foundation's 3D Program for Girls and Women advances gender equality and girls and women’s empowerment by helping local governments work more efficiently across departments, and with civil society and the private sector, to increase economic opportunities for girls and women and address their health, education and safety needs. We believe that girls and women are best served when traditional boundaries are crossed and the barriers of siloes are broken so that stakeholders – including girls and women themselves - can come together to get things done. The 3D program will work with partners in India to address the public safety of girls and women and to increase educational and economic opportunities for girls and women to help them avoid and mitigate the impact of GBV.
