GO Directory of PEPAS Knowledge Institutions and Initiatives 

The GO Directory of PEPAS Knowledge Institutions and Initiatives (GO KII Directory) aims to connect expertise working in knowledge mobilization, research, data, and sharing on GBV, Violence against Girls and Women, and Safeguarding in the field of Physical Education, Physical Activity, and Sport (PEPAS).

Knowledge Institutions and Initiatives (KII) exist in diverse formats including research centers and groups, private companies, projects, networks, and non for profits among others. KIIs play an important role in providing knowledge, generating questions, analyses, and design and implement actions that are valuable to research, policy, and practice. Centralising information will contribute to enhancing access and connection among institutions and stakeholders. We invite you to explore and contribute to the Directory.

Data Collection

The initial data were collected in 2024 with contribution of  Kyniska Advocacy. This first phase of the directory focuses on KIIs that work on themes of violence, gender based violence, violence against women and girls, safeguarding and protection and related topics within the PEPAS context. 

Currently, we are welcoming new entries through this submission form. For your convenience, there is a pdf version of the data submission form avaiable, so one can get familiar with the questions. The data and associated products (visualizations and a searchable directory) are updated periodically, at least annually, based on the availability of new data. The GO reserves the right to modify, amend, or delete any data entry.  

If you are associated with or aware of any KII that aligns with the directory’s purpose, please feel free to complete the submission form. If you notice any gaps or errors in the existing data, don’t hesitate to contact us at info@genderequalitysport.org .
