The organization’s business area – GIZ International Services – is the vehicle for offering GIZ’s services to international clients.
GIZ International Services participates in the European Union tender procedure “Technical Assistance to reduce Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) in Zambia”.
The European Union – in line with the Istanbul Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence – defines Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) as “violence directed against a person because of that person’s gender or violence that affects persons of a particular gender disproportionately. It can be physical, sexual and/or psychological, and includes: violence in close relationships; sexual violence (including rape, sexual assault and harassment or stalking); slavery; harmful practices, such as forced marriages ….” Child Marriage is recognised as a special form of SGBV.
Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) is a huge societal problem in Zambia as demonstrated by data from the 2013/2014 Zambian Demographic and Health Survey (ZDHS) and the 2015 Zambia Health and Wellbeing Survey.
