Summary, etc The purpose of this tool is to equip investors to understand the risk their investments are exposed to as a result of gender-based violence. This tool enables investors to determine how their existing due diligence process can be used to determine a potential investment’s exposure to the political, regulatory, operational, and reputational risks of gender-based violence. This tool is one component of a broader global effort to<br/>ensure the right to live free of violence.<br/><br/>The global COVID-19 pandemic has increased the urgency of incorporating gender-based violence into risk and mitigation analyses because violence is significantly on the rise across the globe. Gender-based violence is known to increase in emergency situations; during a global pandemic with long-lasting effects, rising rates of violence will likely impact every country and sector. Incorporating an analysis of gender-based violence can help to mitigate the risks of a future that looks very different than it did even three months ago.<br/><br/>The impacts of gender-based violence on companies, sectors, and geographies, though material to finance, are rarely factored into investment analysis. To understand what risks gender-based violence presents to companies, we look at the policies, practices, and norms that affect the incidence of violence both inside and outside companies. The risks to a company<br/>come not only from the activities of the company, but also from other factors that impact violence within<br/>sectors, industries, and society. These factors include cultural norms, government policies, and the ways in which laws and policies are enforced.<br/><br/>This tool is not intended to enable an investor to decrease gender-based violence in companies or communities. These issues are complex, and investors may not be best placed to influence or intervene. This tool seeks to ask questions and name gender-based violence as a material risk to investments and identify how investments can create positive change by raising awareness and increasing political and company<br/>management will to address the issue. <br/><br/>This tool builds upon diligence processes that are standard worldwide. It is not comprehensive; rather, it is a starting place that will evolve as we learn more about best practice ways for incorporating an assessment of the risks of gender-based violence into a due diligence process. Finally, it is important to note that the priority of anyone addressing gender-based violence must be to put safety first and do no harm. Gender-based violence is a global human rights violation that is widespread and complex, and approaching it without expertise or care can result in unintended consequences. We<br/>encourage companies that want to invest in prevention and/or response to research this thoroughly and reach out to local or regional gender-based violence experts when shaping their approach. We provide guidance on leading with a safety-first approach in the ‘Do no harm’ section. (Introduction). Record #6723
