The Guyana Spotlight programme forms part of a European Union – United Nations global partnership to eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls. The Spotlight Initiative in Guyana provides a unique opportunity to address family violence as a major public health and development issue with significant ramifications at the individual, community and national levels. UNFPA, in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UNWOMEN), will lead efforts to address five key priority areas that target family violence against women and girls in Guyana. These five priority areas of intervention, under the Guyana Spotlight programme are: (i) Sexual and Gender-Based Violence; (ii) School based Gender-Based Violence; (iii) Intimate Partner Violence; (iv) Incest/ early sexual initiation/ teen and pre-teen pregnancies; (iv) forced sex by a family member or relative.
