    Description
    <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <p>Pandemics and government-imposed restrictions to control them, such as quarantines and school closures, exacerbate gender-based inequalities and increases exposure of women and girls to genderbased violence (GBV). The impacts of these adverse outcomes are further heightened due to diminished access to comprehensive GBV services, as governments redirect resources towards the emergency and deprioritise services such as GBV. Early reports suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic is no different, with GBV surging as governments imposed restrictive policies. In response, we conducted a rapid study in Kenya and interviewed 37 GBV and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) stakeholders from different sectors and types of organisations to understand how COVID-19 containment polices were impacting harderto-reach women and girls, as well as availability and access to services and programmes. As the Government of Kenya imposed restrictive policies to contain the spread of COVID-19, comprehensive GBV services were not deemed essential in the beginning. The government turned its attention to GBV only after reports of rising GBV in the early months of the pandemic led to advocacy by GBV stakeholders. Even then, the government&#8217;s response was ad hoc, and lacking sectorspecific guidelines to ensure availability of comprehensive GBV services and programmes. Ultimately, this led to confusion and large-scale disruption in the availability of GBV services and programmes on the ground. Kenyan women and girls will pay the price of this negligence, and some may never fully recover from experienced adverse outcomes.</p> </body> </html>

    The export button (to the right?) will allow you to export the search results of the entered query to a CSV file. To export the items, click the "Export" button.

    There are two options to select the items you want to export to a CSV. Either you export all results from a search query, or you select a subset of items from the search results.

    To select a subset of the search results, click "Selective Export" in the Export menu.

    After making a selection, click the 'CSV' button. The amount of items that will be exported is indicated in the bubble next to 'CSV'.

    The amount of items you can export is limited, but authenticating will increase this limit.
