The Caribbean Vulnerable Communities Coalition (CVC) is welcoming for its Small Grants to Support Temporary Emergency Services that is designed to help communities experiencing heightened vulnerability during the COVID-19 crisis.

CVC has received reports from across the region of increased Gender-based Violence (GBV) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The increases in violence can be attributed to a variety of factors such as reduced access to necessities, financial stress, the potential breakdown of societal infrastructures, quarantines and social isolation, or the inability to escape abusive partners.

Gender-based violence has serious negative consequences for people affected by the violence, their families and communities, including immediate impacts on safety, mental, physical, and sexual health and well-being which if left unaddressed have long term implications.
