Female parliamentarians and gender advocates in West Africa are being encouraged to prioritize gender-responsive budgeting to effectively address violence against women and girls. The call to action came during a peer review conference in Accra, Ghana, focusing on ending such violence. Advocates emphasize the importance of translating government commitments into tangible funding and demonstrable outcomes. This approach requires robust oversight mechanisms to ensure accountability and impact. Gender-responsive budgeting is presented as a practical tool to bolster efforts. Ultimately, adequate financial support is seen as critical to making significant progress in protecting women and girls.
