<![CDATA[Gender-based violence (GBV) is a critical issue that undermines the integrity of elections and the participation of women in democratic processes. This study aims to identify the problems, challenges, and strategies for preventing GBV in the context of election oversight institutions.

Key challenges include entrenched patriarchal norms, the underrepresentation of women in election oversight leadership, and insufficient policies and reporting mechanisms to address the issue. Mitigation strategies emphasize strengthening regulations, implementing gender-sensitive recruitment processes, and providing GBV education to enhance awareness and commitment among stakeholders. These measures aim to create a safe, inclusive, and violence-free work environment, ensuring professional and integrity-driven election monitoring practices.]]>
