Addressing the scourge of gender-based violence: Critical for sustainable recovery
Violence against women is an invisible pandemic, recognized long before COVID-19, that 
impacts the lives of those who experience it but also affects their families and communities. When COVID19 hit, 243 million women had experienced sexual or physical violence by a partner in the previous year alone. Other statistics are equally stark: 15 million adolescent girls between the ages of 15-19 worldwide have experienced forced sex, and 137 women are killed by a family member every day.

Sustainable Mobility for All: Changing the mindset, changing policies
The global conversation on transport and mobility has evolved significantly over the past
five years. Take transport and climate, for instance: although data on the carbon footprint of major transport modes had been available for a long time, it was not until COP21 in 2015 that mobility became a central part of the climate agenda. The good news is that, during that same period, the space of solutions expanded as well. For example, data sharing is now viewed as an obvious way to promote better integration between urban transport modes in cities.
