Given the multitude of types of gender-based violence, financing the reduction of gender-based violence is a complex endeavor that requires decision-making regarding the use of resourcing to be supported by different types of analysis. One investment approach is not privileged over another, because all investment approaches work towards the same goal of producing greater intelligence and insight. Investors can only make better decisions if they are using an investment approach that is appropriate for the type(s) of decision(s) that they are trying to make.The roadmaps linked to this landing webpage showcase how to finance the reduction of gender-based violence from a primary perspective.

Analysis of Market Risk

‍

Changes in cultural tolerance of gender-based violence can have a significant impact on investment risk: as norms change and tolerance for violence decreased, behaviors that may not have gotten much attention can turn into a source of negative publicity and impact stock price. Investors need a methodology for tracking norms change as part of their assessment of market risk.

Tracking Norms Change as Market Risk in Public Equities

‍

Investing in research on norms change can help investors better predict when gender-based violence moves from a chronic to an acute market risk

‍

Audiences: Public equities analysts, asset managers, and pension funds

Type of violence: Workplace violence

Type of capital: Public Equities

‍

Resources: Criterion Institute will shortly publish a framework and tool for assessing the market risk of gender-based violence in public equities.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
