The objectives of the study were:
a) To strengthen the quality of our programming under the Safe cities initiative across countries by ensuring an evidence-based response derived through participatory knowledge building processes with communities;
b) To develop a better understanding of the links between lack of access to basic services and violence against women; and
c) To strengthen the global discourse and advocacy around these links.
