Synopsis

This webinar was produced under a collaboration between IUCN and WWF, in partnership with USAID, supported by Sweden

How do gendered dynamics and gender-based violence (GBV) shape and impact the illegal wildlife trade (IWT) and our strategies and actions to tackle it?

This recording includes a presentation and discussion on WWF’s newest publication, Gender & Illegal Wildlife Trade: Overlooked and Underestimated. This new report brings a gender lens to IWT, highlighting the pervasiveness of GBV in the sector and providing a roadmap for gender-responsive action.
