VI. Conclusion
The Vital Voices Justice Institute is a multi-disciplinary Model designed to train participants
to better utilize local laws and systems while concurrently helping them understand underlying
dynamics of gender-based violence. Its unique design prioritizes deep consultation with local part
ners to ensure cultural sensitivity and relevance, diversity of perspectives and teaching methods
to reach a variety of different learners, flexibility in design and implementation to respond to new
issues as they arise, utilizing and building networks, and experienced and credible trainers.
As international due diligence obligations around gender-based violence develop, States have
been required to not only implement laws to address the growing threat of gender-based violence,
but to also take responsibility to prevent, protect victims, and punish perpetrators of gender-based
violence. As States continue to grapple with these growing responsibilities, programs like the
Justice Institute can provide States with a strong solution to meet their due diligence obligations to
end gender-based violence.
