DescriptionMinisters from West and Central Africa convened in Banjul on 9 April 2026 for a high-level ministerial meeting to advance regional efforts to prevent and respond to gender-based violence (GBV). The meeting represents a key milestone ahead of the Forum of First Ladies of SWEDD+ countries, scheduled for 10 April 2026 under the theme of “Zero Tolerance” for GBV.
The ministerial meeting was preceded by an Experts’ Meeting, which provided a comprehensive regional overview of GBV. Participants reviewed recent data, trends, and key vulnerability factors affecting women and girls, and assessed both progress achieved and persistent gaps in legal and institutional frameworks. Particular attention was given to challenges related to implementation, coordination, and multisectoral responses.
