ICAAD’s work is focused on resisting injustice and building equity. We work with local communities and governments to change systems and challenge the root causes of injustice.
A donation to ICAAD is a contribution to building a more equitable future. By investing in systems-level change, your impact can last for generations.
About the Project:
Gender-based violence (GBV) affects over one-third of women worldwide. It is rooted in gender inequality and perpetuated by laws, institutions, cultural and social norms, and tackling it requires systems-level change.
The UN estimates that it will take nearly 300 years to close gaps in legal protections and remove discriminatory laws. When GBV victims seek justice through the courts, gender bias and discrimination often prevail.
We developed a pioneering database to identify bias and discrimination in judicial decision-making. The project has resulted from close collaboration with local women's rights NGOs, UN agencies and local governments across the Pacific.
The TrackGBV dashboard currently has data from 2500+ cases from seven Pacific Island Countries, and is the only accessible, comprehensive source of this information in the region. We've conducted training for judges, lawyers, and NGOs, and the database has already helped support legislative and judicial change.
On the invitation of local and regional NGOs and agencies, ICAAD is now expanding TrackGBV to the Caribbean – with plans to scale it even further.
Accessible information about gender bias in the judicial system can play a powerful role in advocacy for local NGOs, as it highlights where there are gaps in laws, policies and mindsets.
