Gender-based violence (GBV) disproportionately affects girls and women with disabilities worldwide. Timely and efficient GBV responses deter future GBV incidents, prevent fatal outcomes, and foster recovery from the physical and emotional damage caused by GBV.

However, both women with disabilities and GBV service providers noted several hindrances to effective collaboration and suggested approaches for improving cross-sectoral collaboration.
